Robert Kiyosaki Aggressively Buys Bitcoin, Gold, and Oil, Warns of Financial Crisis Approaching in 2026

Gate News: On March 16, Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” issued a new warning, stating that the 2026 financial crisis is intensifying. He revealed that he has heavily bought Bitcoin, gold, silver, and oil to hedge against risks. Kiyosaki pointed out that the private credit market is under great pressure, with many well-known banks and financial institutions facing difficulties. He also quoted economist Jim Rickards, who said the U.S. is already in a “new Great Depression.”

Kiyosaki posted on X that last week he invested millions of dollars in oil wells, gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while continuing to increase his Ethereum holdings. He emphasized that, rather than simply holding cash, he prefers to allocate funds into hard assets to protect against financial turmoil. He referenced Warren Buffett’s strategy of accumulating cash reserves to buy assets at low prices and agreed with its logic but stressed that his approach is different—actively investing in physical assets.

Geopolitical factors are also considered. Kiyosaki noted that frequent attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have driven up oil prices, which benefits his oil well investments in Texas. He has long viewed Bitcoin alongside gold and silver as scarce physical assets, believing market downturns are good opportunities to buy Bitcoin. He predicts these assets will rise after a crash.

Although his comments on Bitcoin have previously caused controversy due to contradictions, Kiyosaki remains a strong supporter of Bitcoin and Ethereum, including them as part of his investment portfolio. His strategy reflects a focus on risk mitigation and potential gains through hard asset allocation and digital asset investments amid increasing financial uncertainty. Since publishing “Rich Dad’s Prophecy” in 2013, he has repeatedly predicted large-scale economic collapses. As 2026 approaches, these warnings are once again drawing market attention.
