‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Predicts Bitcoin to Hit $250,000 This Year, Here’s Twist

Robert Kiyosaki, renowned financial guru and Bitcoin supporter, widely known for authoring a classic book on finance management “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, has made yet another bullish Bitcoin price prediction.

However, this time it is slightly lower than his earlier expectations about BTC for this year.

I “predict $250,000 this year”: Kiyosaki

Kiyosaki published his tweet earlier today as the world’s bellwether cryptocurrency surged to hit the $100,500 zone. Kiyosaki then tweeted: “Bitcoin over $100,000,” adding that he now predicts digital gold to hit $250,000 this year and that he is “buying more” of it.

Many commentators agreed with Kiyosaki’s prediction, suggesting that should the new US president indeed begins to build the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as promised before the election, BTC could soar as high as $350,000 and could even go much higher.

In the late fall of 2024, Kiyosaki once tweeted that he liked the Bitcoin tactics that Michael Saylor has been using for MicroStrategy – accumulating and holding Bitcoin tight – and tried to follow it but on a much smaller scale. He also agreed with Saylor that it ten years Bitcoin would be worth $12 million per coin since by then it would take away part of gold’s market share.

Here’s twist in Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin strategy

Curiously, in November-October, when predicting a Bitcoin surge, Kiyosaki stated that he would stop accumulating BTC once the price surpassed $100,000 since it was not time “to get greedy.” However, now he says he is buying more Bitcoin and intends to continue doing this.

In December 2024, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” several times predicted that in 2025 Bitcoin would skyrocket to $350,000 per coin. However, one of those predictions stated that BTC would reach a minimum of $175,000 this year with high chances of soaring to $350,000 by the end of 2025.

In December, Kiyosaki also slammed the BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink over massive spot Bitcoin ETF outflows the company faced then. Two largest outflows since the ETF inception took place in December. Kiyosaki then stated that BlackRock intentionally sold Bitcoin to keep its price below $100,000 so as to allow whales to buy more BTC.

Kiyosaki is known for his long-term accumulation of Bitcoin, gold, and silver and his belief in those as safe haven assets.
