Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned financial educator and author of the international bestseller “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” has made a bold prediction about Bitcoin’s trajectory, forecasting that the world’s leading cryptocurrency will reach $250,000 before the end of 2025.
“I am buying more bitcoin. I predict bitcoin climbs to $250K this year. Buy more. Do not sell,” Kiyosaki declared in a recent social media post on May 17th, doubling down on his bullish stance toward digital assets.

The financial author, whose book has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into dozens of languages, attributes his optimistic outlook to what he describes as the ongoing collapse of traditional banking systems.
Banking System “Crashing” According to Kiyosaki
Kiyosaki’s investment thesis centers around his belief that the “Marxist central bank system is crashing,” leading to widespread bankruptcies throughout the financial sector. This systemic failure, he argues, will drive investors toward hard assets with limited supply.
“Why will gold, silver, and bitcoin continue to grow in value? The Marxist central bank system is crashing… Many going bankrupt. Keep HODLing,” Kiyosaki wrote, using the crypto community’s popular term for holding assets through market volatility.
His recommendation comes at a time when Bitcoin is already trading at historically high levels, having recently surpassed the $100,000 mark. As of today, Bitcoin trades at approximately $105,813, representing a 2.59% increase in the last 24 hours.
Consistent Warnings About Economic Collapse
This latest prediction aligns with statements Kiyosaki made earlier this month when he emphasized his preference for Bitcoin over gold, despite being a long-time precious metals advocate. He specifically highlighted Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins as a fundamental strength in an era of unlimited money printing.
In April, Kiyosaki warned followers that “global panic was accelerating” and that the economic collapse was “just beginning.” During that time, he suggested Bitcoin could eventually reach $1 million and described it as the best protection against what he believes will be a major U.S. economic crash.

Beyond Cryptocurrency: Broader Economic Concerns
Kiyosaki’s warnings extend beyond digital assets. He has recently claimed that ten U.S. states are experiencing collapse due to mass outmigration and cautioned that millions could lose their jobs as economic pressures intensify.
Throughout these increasingly stark forecasts, Kiyosaki has consistently argued that the U.S. dollar is being “wiped out” and has repeatedly advised investors to turn to Bitcoin, gold, and silver to protect their wealth.
His most recent assessment is particularly blunt: the crash “has landed,” with a recession already underway and a potential depression looming. Despite this gloomy outlook—or perhaps because of it—his investment advice remains unchanged: “Buy bitcoin.”
Market Context
While Kiyosaki’s $250,000 prediction represents a significant increase from current values, it’s worth noting that Bitcoin has already demonstrated remarkable growth over the past year. Other cryptocurrencies are also showing strong performance, with Ethereum trading at $2,571.60 (up 3.96%) and Binance Coin at $653.21 (up 1.95%).
Financial analysts remain divided on Kiyosaki’s predictions, with some viewing his timeline as ambitious while others point to increasing institutional adoption and global economic uncertainty as potential catalysts for such a dramatic price movement.
As always, financial experts recommend that investors conduct thorough research and consider their risk tolerance before making investment decisions based on any single perspective, no matter how prominent the source.
Previous Bitcoin Predictions from Kiyosaki
Earlier this year in February, Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” made headlines by endorsing an extraordinarily bullish Bitcoin outlook alongside MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor. At that time, with Bitcoin trading around $94,000, Kiyosaki supported Saylor’s long-term prediction that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin by 2045.
Saylor’s ambitious projection was based on Bitcoin potentially growing from representing just 0.1% of global wealth to approximately 7% over the next two decades. Kiyosaki, referring to Saylor as “one smart boy,” embraced this vision while presenting his own compelling investment case.
In his February statements, Kiyosaki argued that investing $9,000 in 0.01 Bitcoin could yield significantly better returns than spending $50,000-$200,000 on an MBA degree. This perspective was supported by Bitcoin’s impressive 87% increase over the previous year and MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment being up 964% since August 2020.
The market sentiment at that time was partially driven by political developments and promises to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve for the United States, creating what analysts called a perfect storm for Bitcoin’s continued appreciation.
These earlier predictions laid the groundwork for Kiyosaki’s current, more immediate forecast of Bitcoin reaching $250,000 in 2025, showing his consistent bullish stance on the cryptocurrency’s potential.
