‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Robert Kiyosaki Sells His Bitcoin
Kiyosaki banks $2.25M BTC profit, pivots into real world cash flow while staying bullish on crypto
Robert Kiyosaki, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author and long time Bitcoin supporter, has revealed that he recently sold his Bitcoin holdings worth around $2.25 million and is redirecting the profits into his businesses. Kiyosaki said he first bought BTC years ago at roughly $6,000 and exited his position near $90,000 per coin, locking in a gain during the latest crypto downturn.
Instead of keeping the profit in Bitcoin, he is investing the proceeds into two surgery centers and a billboard business that he expects will generate tax free monthly income. Kiyosaki estimates these assets will pay him about $27,500 per month by February 2026, turning a volatile crypto win into predictable cash flow.
Despite the sale, Kiyosaki insisted he remains strongly bullish on Bitcoin and plans to start accumulating again using the income from his new investments. Earlier this month he repeated his forecast that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026, alongside a long term target of $27,000 per ounce for gold.
His move comes during one of the sharpest pullbacks of the current Bitcoin cycle. BTC briefly dropped below $81,000 on Friday before recovering to around $84,000, leaving the price more than 33% below its all time high above $126,000 set in October. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has plunged to 11, signalling extreme fear among traders.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt sees Bitcoin hitting $200,000 by the third quarter of 2029 and views the market flush as healthy for the long term trend. Analysts at crypto exchange Bitfinex argue that heavy outflows from Bitcoin ETFs reflect short term stress rather than fading institutional interest or weakening fundamentals.
