Robert Kiyosaki revealed the amount of bitcoin he holds and plans to buy more BTC in the coming year, along with investments in gold, silver, and real estate — assets he considers 'real money' for creating long-term wealth.
Robert Kiyosaki reveals Bitcoin Holdings, sharing his approach to gold, silver, and BTC.
Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, shared his views on building wealth through assets such as bitcoin, gold, and silver on the social media platform X Friday. Rich Dad Poor Dad, a 1997 book co-authored by Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter, has received global acclaim, spending over six years on the New York Times Best Sellers list, with over 32 million copies sold in 51 languages across more than 109 countries.
Kiyosaki notes that people often use excuses to avoid investing, which he classifies as a 'poor person's' mindset. For example, he mentioned that when bitcoin was $76,000, people often said: 'Too expensive. I will wait for the price to drop.' He explained that similar excuses arise when gold is priced at $2,684 an ounce or silver at $32 an ounce.
Emphasizing the importance of owning assets rather than waiting for prices to drop, Kiyosaki commented:
Prices will go down… But prices do not make you rich. Ultimately, what makes a wealthy person wealthy is the number of coins or ounces they can control.
His approach shows that waiting for the ideal price can hinder wealth building. Instead, he advocates for accumulating stable assets like bitcoin, gold, and silver, regardless of how the market changes.
'I started buying silver at $1 an ounce. Now I have thousands of ounces. I continued buying at $32 an ounce. Similarly for gold and bitcoin. I bought my first bitcoin at $6,000 and I continued buying at $76,000,' the famous author shared.
To reinforce his message, he added: 'Remember, while the price of each coin is important… ultimately, the quantity of coins, gold, silver, or bitcoin you have… that matters more than the price of each coin.' Advising investors to convert fiat currency, which he calls 'fake money', into 'real money' assets like gold, silver, and bitcoin, he urged: 'Keep trading fake money… for real money and you will be richer. Good luck.' He stated: 'I wish I had bought bitcoin at $10 a coin… but I didn't. I started buying at $6,000 and I'm glad I did.'
The author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad further shares:
Today I own 73 bitcoins. A year from now I plan to own 100 bitcoins… regardless of the price.
In addition to cryptocurrency, Kiyosaki revealed: 'I own a lot of income-generating real estate, I own gold mining operations, and I save my profits in bitcoin, gold, and silver… Real money.' He concluded: 'I also hope bitcoin goes back to $10 a coin… but 'dreams' have never made the poor richer.'
