Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Potential Bitcoin ‘Bubble’ Burst Despite Bullish Market Sentiment
Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a cautionary warning about Bitcoin and other assets, suggesting that the current market boom could soon give way to a sharp correction.
In a post on Monday, Kiyosaki said that asset “bubbles are about to start busting”, adding that when that happens, “odds are gold, silver, and Bitcoin will bust too.” He indicated that a significant price drop would be his signal to accumulate more of these assets.
A Contradictory Message from a Prominent Voice
Kiyosaki’s remarks appear to contradict some of his earlier comments. Just last week, he celebrated Bitcoin’s new all-time high above $120,000, calling it “bad news” for those who never entered the market. “They own nothing,” he said, referring to those who missed out on Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation.
At the time, he also warned against excessive greed in investing, stating:
“Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. I am buying one more [Bitcoin]… and get fatter.”
YAY:
Bitcoin over $120k.
Great news for those who already have some Bitcoin.
Bad news for who….for what ever reason….never “pulled the trigger.”
They own nothing.As warned in previous X…”Pigs get fat…. Hogs get slaughtered.”
I am buying one more coin…. and get…

Later, he clarified that he would pause any further purchases until he had more clarity on the macroeconomic outlook.
Interestingly, Kiyosaki also criticized doom-laden Bitcoin crash narratives in early July, calling those promoting such views “clickbait losers” who aim to scare away speculators.
Critics Question His Track Record
Kiyosaki’s shifting tone has drawn criticism from some within the crypto and financial communities. Market newsletter Brew Markets noted that Kiyosaki has a long history of predicting financial crashes — particularly in stocks and crypto — that have not come to pass.
Despite his dire forecast, many in the industry remain optimistic. Some market observers have suggested that even if Bitcoin is exhibiting speculative characteristics, it doesn’t fit the traditional definition of a bubble.
Bitcoin Treasuries Defend Their Strategy
Concerns over corporate Bitcoin treasuries becoming overexposed to a potential price drop have surfaced. Critics argue that a sharp market correction could trigger a “death spiral” for companies heavily invested in BTC.
However, Joe Burnett, director of Bitcoin Strategy, dismissed the bubble narrative. He emphasized that Bitcoin treasury firms are not speculating on untested ideas:
“They’re deploying capital directly into Bitcoin, not into an idea — into money itself.”
Burnett added that true speculative bubbles usually involve assets that are not well understood, whereas Bitcoin’s fundamentals are increasingly recognized.
Experts Urge Independent Research
In response to Kiyosaki’s latest remarks, Henrik Andersson, chief investment officer at Apollo Capital, urged investors to rely less on influencer commentary and more on independent research.
Similarly, NFT collector and Furyou founder Cape reminded followers on X that Bitcoin has been declared a “bubble” nearly every year since its inception, yet continues to reach new highs.
Market Cycles Still in Play
Bitcoin’s market behavior continues to align with its historic four-year cycle, with 2025 expected to be a peak bull market year if past patterns hold. Several analysts project that Bitcoin could top $130,000 to $200,000 before the end of the year.
According to the CoinGlass bull market signal dashboard, none of the 30 tracked indicators currently suggest that the market is near a top, indicating room for continued growth.
