Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says he is looking forward to what he describes as a “giant crash” in financial markets, viewing it as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Known for his bullish stance on alternative assets, Kiyosaki indicated that he plans to increase his holdings of Bitcoin if prices fall sharply.
In a recent statement, he said he intends to buy more Bitcoin as investors panic and sell during the downturn.
The statement comes at a time when Bitcoin has seen a massive tumble, falling from its October 2025 highs of $126,000 to $68,428.04.
Kiyosaki says market crashes are prime buying opportunities
Kiyosaki has long said that when the market crashes, people with money and faith can buy things at a discount.
His comments support the larger plan of buying hard assets when people are scared, betting on a long-term recovery and value increase once the market settles down.
He further adds that falling prices don’t scare him but they excite him. The long time Bitcoin supporter believes downturns are when real money is made. As Bitcoin drops, he says he’s buying more, not less.
His reasoning is simple: Bitcoin’s supply is permanently capped at 21 million coins, and most of them are already in circulation. To him, that scarcity makes every dip a potential bargain.
Kiyosaki argues that market crashes are like big sales events, where valuable assets temporarily trade at discounted prices.
While others panic and rush to sell, he prefers to step in and accumulate. In his view, those who stay calm and think long term during crashes could come out significantly wealthier once markets recover.
Kiyosaki’s comments come as Bitcoin sees bloodbath
Bitcoin nearly slipped below the $60,000 mark last week, leading a broader sell-off that has weighed on the crypto sector for months.
The world’s largest digital asset has now erased almost half its value since reaching a record high in October, battered by a series of macro and industry-specific pressures.
Much of the recent weakness has been tied to uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy, particularly as investors assess what direction policy might take under Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to chair the Federal Reserve.
In addition, the OG-crypto remained more or less stable on Tuesday, with the crypto markets experiencing little action due to holidays in several major economies.
During early trading, Bitcoin dipped slightly by 0.5 percent to $68,056, reflecting the overall wait-and-see attitude in the financial markets.
With fewer participants in the market, there were limited cues to drive prices in either direction. Investors also appeared cautious ahead of important U.S. economic data releases and anticipated talks between the U.S. and Iran.
