Triumphant Year for Robert Kiyosaki: A Resounding Success in 2026
As of January 28, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned investor and author of the acclaimed personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, has experienced an exceptional year. His preferred investments have seen significant upward trends, marking a period of triumph for Kiyosaki.
Reflecting on Investment Mistakes
Despite his recent successes, Kiyosaki has taken to social media platform X to candidly address some notable investment missteps. Among these, he considers the sale of some of his Bitcoin (BTC) and gold as substantial errors.

The X post emerged following rumors about Kiyosaki selling his silver holdings, which he firmly denied. Instead, he expressed relief for retaining his silver investments, acknowledging the wisdom of holding onto the precious metal.
“I wish I had not sold some gold and some Bitcoin. Selling them was a big mistake. Thank God I did not sell my silver,” Kiyosaki stated.
Why Silver is a Strategic Hold for Investors
In the same social media update, Kiyosaki highlighted the strategic advantage of retaining silver. He posed a rhetorical question, suggesting that investors like himself have no reason to sell silver. Instead, they can leverage their silver holdings to borrow funds and invest further in assets like gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum (ETH).
Kiyosaki encouraged his followers to divest from what he terms ‘fake dollars’ and instead purchase the commodities and cryptocurrencies he endorses.
Performance of Kiyosaki’s Preferred Assets Against ‘Fake Dollars’
Since the beginning of 2026, gold and silver have surged in value, reaching unprecedented heights of $5,305 and $114, respectively. This trend underscores their growing appeal as stable investment options.
On the cryptocurrency front, although Bitcoin has experienced a 12.17% decline over the past year and Ethereum a 2.65% drop in the same period, both maintain robust long-term valuations. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at $88,983, reflecting a significant recovery from its 2021 peak of approximately $67,000, albeit below its late 2025 value of around $125,000. Ethereum is trading at $2,994, remaining below its previous highs from 2025, 2024, and 2021.
The Decline of the U.S. Dollar Index
Concurrently, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the so-called ‘fake dollars’, has been on a downward trajectory. Since the start of 2026, it has continued its 2025 decline, registering an additional 2.21% drop.
This movement in the DXY further emphasizes the shifting dynamics in the financial landscape, highlighting the growing preference for alternative assets such as gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies over traditional fiat currencies.
