Synopsis
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is buying more Bitcoin despite its record high of $107,000, calling it “priceless.” He regrets not buying more at $6,000 and believes even a small investment now will be worthwhile in the future. Kiyosaki views Bitcoin as a hedge against a flawed monetary system, predicting it could reach $250,000 this year.
Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, on Monday said he is buying more Bitcoin even at current record highs, declaring the cryptocurrency “priceless” at $107,000 and warning followers they may regret not accumulating more.
In a post on the microblogging site X, Kiyosaki reflected on his own hesitation in entering the Bitcoin market years ago. “I was late into Bitcoin. I waited too long…which may have been a good thing. I waited because I did not understand today’s modern money,” he wrote. Kiyosaki said he bought his first Bitcoin at $6,000, which he considered “expensive” at the time. “Today I wish I had bought more at $6000.”
Despite the steep rally in 2025, Kiyosaki said he remains a buyer. “Again my mind says ‘That’s expensive’ but I am buying more,” he stated.

Bitcoin climbs amid global trade optimism
Kiyosaki’s remarks came as Bitcoin prices rose on Monday, buoyed by improving risk appetite across financial markets. The world’s largest cryptocurrency was up 1% to $108,358.70 by 05:10 GMT, putting it on track to break out of a trading range seen through most of June.
Investor sentiment received a lift after Canada on Sunday rescinded its proposed digital services tax on U.S. companies and signaled readiness to restart trade negotiations with Washington, setting a July 21 deadline to finalize a new deal. Japan also indicated progress on its own trade pact with the U.S., while a U.S.-UK trade agreement took effect on Monday.
Markets are closely watching whether the U.S. will secure additional trade deals ahead of a July 9 deadline, when a set of steep tariffs announced by President Donald Trump are scheduled to take effect.
A consistent message: Buy hard assets
The latest post by Kiyosaki highlights his long-standing investment philosophy favouring alternative assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver over fiat currency and institutional finance. Just days ago, he predicted that silver prices would “explode in July,” calling the white metal the “best ‘asymmetric buy’ today” and warning, “Everyone can afford silver today… but not tomorrow.”
His June 19 post on X warned of “the biggest crash in history,” driven by AI-induced job losses and inflation eroding retirement savings. Kiyosaki criticized what he described as “false prophets” on YouTube for mimicking his crisis warnings without credit, stating, “It still pisses-me-off that so many modern day ‘prophets’… are now claiming to have warned of this extreme crisis we are in today.”
Earlier in May, he called for individuals to “bail yourself out” by accumulating gold, silver, and Bitcoin, asserting that the next global financial crisis could center on the collapse of central banks. “You bail you and your family out by saving real gold, silver, and Bitcoin… No ETFs,” he said.
Sticking to his thesis
Kiyosaki continues to view Bitcoin as a critical hedge in what he sees as a structurally flawed monetary system. In a May 17 post, he forecast the cryptocurrency could climb to $250,000 this year and urged followers: “Keep Holding. I am buying more Bitcoin.”
For those still on the sidelines, his message on Monday was characteristically direct: “Take care.”
