‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Author and Bitcoin Bull Robert Kiyosaki Sells His BTC

Why It Matters

Kiyosaki’s move underscores how high‑profile investors are reallocating crypto gains into traditional cash‑flow assets during a market downturn, highlighting shifting risk appetite and the continued belief in Bitcoin’s long‑term upside.

Summary

Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” disclosed that he sold his $2.25 million Bitcoin holding—bought at roughly $6,000 per coin and sold near $90,000— and will redeploy the proceeds into two surgery centers and a billboard business. He projects the new ventures will generate about $27,500 of tax‑free monthly cash flow by February 2026. While he remains bullish on Bitcoin, even forecasting a $250,000 price by 2026, the sale came as Bitcoin slipped below $85,000 amid a broader market slump, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hitting an extreme‑fear low of 11.
