Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling "Rich Dad Poor Dad," disclosed he purchased additional bitcoin during the cryptocurrency market downturn.
Kiyosaki recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he bought one more bitcoin at $67,000 despite falling prices. He cited concerns about U.S. fiscal conditions as his rationale for buying amid heightened volatility, arguing that surging government debt could undermine the dollar's value.
He also pointed to bitcoin's structural characteristics. Bitcoin has a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins. "The moment the last bitcoin is mined, bitcoin will become a superior store of value to gold," Kiyosaki said. "Unlike fiat currencies that can be printed without limit, digital assets with guaranteed scarcity will inevitably gain value over time."
Kiyosaki forecast bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026. He also predicted gold and silver could rise to $27,000 and $100, respectively.
However, he had disclosed selling some bitcoin on the 6th of this month. "I sold some of my bitcoin and gold," Kiyosaki said at the time. "I am patiently waiting for new floor prices for gold and bitcoin, and when that comes, I may buy again. I will post on X the day I buy again."
Meanwhile, on-chain data shows retail investors have gradually increased their bitcoin holdings since the market peak in October 2025. The number of wallets holding less than one bitcoin rose 2.5% since the October high.
In contrast, large investors holding 10 to 10,000 bitcoin sold approximately 0.8% of their total holdings during the same period. Analysts interpret this as profit-taking after bitcoin declined from its all-time high of $126,000.
Bitcoin has been falling sharply in recent days. According to CoinMarketCap, bitcoin was trading at $63,770 as of 12:17 p.m. on the 24th, down 1.63% from 24 hours earlier.
