Robert Kiyosaki’s Surprising Investment Revelation: A New Perspective on Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin
Examining the Controversy Behind Robert Kiyosaki’s Latest Investment Disclosure
In a surprising twist, Robert Kiyosaki, the esteemed author of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ has ignited debate with a recent post on X dated February 5. This revelation appears to contradict years of his public endorsements of acquiring Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin (BTC), raising eyebrows within the financial community.
Kiyosaki’s Investment Stance: A Shift in Strategy?

Kiyosaki’s recent statement suggests he has not acquired Bitcoin or Gold in several years, opting only for Silver in recent transactions. This shift in narrative is intriguing, considering his long-standing advice to “buy no matter what.” His revelation indicates that his last Bitcoin purchase occurred when the cryptocurrency traded at approximately $6,000, which dates back nearly five years.
The financial guru further revealed that his gold acquisitions ceased when the precious metal was valued at around $300, which predates the Great Recession, over two decades ago. In contrast, Silver, the outlier in this scenario, was reportedly purchased at $60 in his most recent transaction, aligning with its trading price in December 2025.
Kiyosaki’s February 6 X Post: A Strategic Pause
In a subsequent post on February 6, Kiyosaki reiterated his position, stating, “I stopped buying silver at $60. I stopped buying Bitcoin at $6000. I stopped buying gold at $300. I have sold some Bitcoin and some gold. I hate selling because I hate paying capital gain taxes. Today, I wait patiently for new bottoms for gold.”
The Controversy Surrounding Kiyosaki’s Claims
Under typical circumstances, Kiyosaki’s admission might merely highlight a strategic investor who entered the market early and recognized the value of long-term holding. However, for Kiyosaki, this admission has sparked controversy due to his previous assertions that he never stopped buying.
A noteworthy example is a community note added to his recent post, referencing his January 22, 2026, claim that he was actively purchasing Bitcoin, Silver, and Gold, even when these assets were priced significantly higher.
Exploring the Criticism: Is Kiyosaki Misleading His Audience?
The February 5 disclosure has reignited criticism that Kiyosaki has faced over the years, with accusations of potentially misleading his followers. Although the motive behind the post remains speculative, it bears an uncomfortable resemblance to scenarios where influential figures are accused of manipulating asset prices for personal gain.
This theory gains traction considering the recent downturn in the ‘Kiyosaki portfolio.’ Bitcoin has experienced a decline, trading at $64,756, effectively erasing gains since 2024 and falling below its 2021 peaks. Ethereum (ETH), another asset held by Kiyosaki, has also seen a drop to $1,870.
Performance of Gold and Silver
Gold and Silver have not fared much better in the short term. Despite rapid gains in 2026, both commodities have dropped to $4,860 and $74 respectively as of the most recent data, although they are still above their January 1 prices.
In conclusion, Robert Kiyosaki’s unexpected admission has stirred a blend of curiosity and skepticism within the investment community. As discussions continue, investors are keenly analyzing his next moves and the potential implications for the markets he has long championed.
