Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has shared another striking forecast regarding bitcoin’s future. His book, written with Sharon Lechter in 1997, has achieved remarkable success, with over 32 million copies sold in 51 languages across 109 nations. The publication also maintained a spot on the New York Times Best Seller list for more than six years.
Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X this week:
Q: what is price of bitcoin in 2025? A: $500,000 according to AI.
Bitcoin’s recent rise, nearing $100,000, has reignited speculation about its potential. Alongside Kiyosaki, others like venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz have also suggested that BTC might reach $500,000 in 2025. They cited factors such as growing demand and possible shifts in monetary policy. Nonetheless, such projections hinge on variables such as regulatory changes, economic trends, and the pace of institutional involvement.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a prominent tool in forecasting crypto price trajectories, delivering detailed insights into the crypto’s future. Earlier this month, several AI systems projected BTC’s year-end value to range from $95,000 to $120,000, following its jump to $90,000 after Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 election. Models like Openai’s Chatgpt-4, Google’s Gemini, and Mistral AI’s Le Chat rely on data trends, regulatory progress, and institutional participation to generate their predictions.
Kiyosaki has been a vocal supporter of bitcoin, often promoting it as a safeguard against inflation and the volatility of fiat currencies. Viewing it in the same light as gold and silver, he describes BTC as a “real money” alternative to traditional currencies. His endorsement is rooted in skepticism toward central banks and the broader financial system, framing cryptocurrencies as essential for wealth preservation in uncertain economic climates. He frequently emphasizes the risks of a looming financial collapse, advocating for bitcoin as a vital asset in any investment strategy.
This isn’t Kiyosaki’s first ambitious statement on bitcoin’s growth. Previously, the author predicted BTC would hit $1 million by 2030. In June, he warned of an impending economic crash that could trigger a bull market, potentially pushing bitcoin to $10 million per coin. Last week, he endorsed Michael Saylor’s BTC strategy and $13 million forecast, urging investors to act. Saylor estimates bitcoin could range from $3 million in a bear case to $49 million in a bull case by 2045. Other notable predictions include Ark Invest’s $1 million target by 2030, with an interim projection of $200,000 by 2025. Research firm Bernstein also anticipates a rise to $200,000, while onchain analyst Willy Woo expects bitcoin to reach $1 million within the next decade.
