Robert Kiyosaki's logic behind reducing Bitcoin holdings: $2.25 million arbitrage follow-up investment

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki recently made a transaction that drew attention. When Bitcoin was around $90,000, he chose to sell a position worth $2.25 million. The background of this transaction is interesting—these Bitcoins were assets he bought several years ago at about $6,000 each, and after this bull market cycle, they have yielded a considerable multiple of gains.

From Long-Term Positioning to Short-Term Adjustments

Kiyosaki’s reduction in holdings does not mean he is completely bearish on Bitcoin. Instead, he used the $2.25 million cash-out to allocate to physical assets—two surgical centers and an advertising billboard business. He expects these investments to generate stable passive income, with an annual tax-free cash flow of about $27,500 per month. This reflects his diversified approach to asset allocation: maintaining confidence in cryptocurrencies while also investing in traditional assets that generate cash flow.

Consistency Amidst Contradictions

Although it appears he sold Bitcoin, Kiyosaki has not changed his view of the asset. He explicitly stated that he plans to use the newly generated passive cash flow to continue buying Bitcoin, implementing a “profit-taking and accumulation” strategy. To some extent, this approach is a form of asset “metabolism”—locking in gains from price increases, shifting toward cash-flow-generating investments, and then using the cash flow to rebuild his crypto holdings.

With Bitcoin currently trading above 95.57K, Kiyosaki’s logic is worth investors’ consideration: when to reduce some positions to lock in profits, and how to use those profits for multi-asset allocation—key factors for long-term wealth growth.
