Growing concerns about potential market downturns are reshaping investment strategies, with Robert Kiyosaki emphasizing a long-term approach that focuses on assets outside the traditional financial system while preparing for opportunities in the event of a potential crash.
Kiyosaki outlines plan to get even richer during market crash
As Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki outlined his approach on X on March 27, market uncertainty surrounding a potential recession and market crash is prompting investors to rethink their portfolio strategies. He highlighted the shift to non-traditional assets, referencing the works of Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus in his discussion of financial turmoil.
Kiyosaki described a long-standing strategy focused on accumulating and holding assets that financial authorities cannot create. “Those of you who have followed me for years already know that I don’t invest in stocks like the S&P 500, US bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, or save cash. I don’t invest in anything issued by governments, banks, or Wall Street.” He further emphasized his position on potential crisis and crash scenarios, saying:
“I love oil, real estate, golf, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and food production.”
“I was going to get richer from the crash,” said the acclaimed author.
References to Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus are frequently cited in discussions of economic recessions, but their works do not provide accurate modern-day predictions. Although Cayce is associated with predicting the 1929 crash, Nostradamus described a broader financial crisis rather than a specific market event.
The activity in late 2025 reflects a tactical shift in capital allocation, with Kiyosaki revealing that he sold about $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin last November for about $90,000 per coin, down from an original purchase price of nearly $6,000. He said the move is aimed at generating additional cash flow and directing the proceeds to the two surgical centers and signage business, which he estimates will generate tax-free income of $27,500 per month.
Kiyosaki continues to accumulate Bitcoin and real assets
Recent posts this week signal a return to accumulation, with the investor saying he is buying rather than selling ahead of a possible 2026 crash. He said he continues to hold his original Bitcoin and is using income from oil production, cattle farming, and publishing activities to increase his cryptocurrency holdings.
The author also detailed his global business operations, including publishing books, distributing the Cashflow board game in more than 50 languages, cattle ranching, oil production in Texas and North Dakota, and managing 1,500 rental homes acquired with debt. He emphasized that:
“I store real gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.”
The additional comments reinforced his preference for tangible, diversified holdings during times of financial instability. “Like many of you, I didn’t have any money at first…but I bought small amounts of assets, held them for years, and rarely sold them,” Kiyosaki said. He added, “Most people know that I bought my first 6 Bitcoins for $600, which took all the money I had and didn’t eat for days.” He reiterated, “I like the real thing. I hate the fake.”
