Author Robert Kiyosaki once again called for buying Bitcoin on August 22, accusing the latest US Treasury policy of being a “new QE” and printing fake dollars. In the actual market, Bitcoin shrugged off this misinterpretation, settling around the $76,000 price range on August 23, declining slowly after briefly touching a local high of $79,500 two days prior.
Bitcoin’s price rally, which surged over 20% within a week, was powered by four key drivers: the official Treasury announcement, declining long-term bond yields, a weakening US dollar, and a wave of forced short liquidations. Institutional capital also reacted to this sequence of macro data, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbing $1.92 billion in net inflows over just five consecutive trading sessions.
Not Central Bank Monetary Policy
Kiyosaki misread the government policy. On August 19, the US Treasury announced an increase in the buyback limit for government bonds with maturities of 10-20 years and 20-30 years. The purchase figure was raised from $2 billion to a minimum of $4 billion for each operation, set to officially begin on September 9. This new limit will remain in effect until November 4, the deadline for the Treasury to provide further operational updates.
In fact, the bond buyback move is purely part of national debt management operations by the Treasury, rather than quantitative easing as assumed by the public. Quantitative easing programs fall under central bank monetary policy, which is fully run by the Federal Reserve. These two government entities execute separate mandates through unrelated operational mechanisms, meaning they cannot be equated with money printing.
Off-Target Price Track Record
Kiyosaki’s views on the direction of crypto price movements often diverge from actual conditions. He once believed Bitcoin’s price would surpass $350,000 by August 25, 2024 - a prediction that failed to materialize. On several different occasions, he also set price targets at the $500,000 to $1 million level per coin without a detailed timeline.
Although he regularly positions Bitcoin, gold, silver, and select real estate as primary inflation hedges, he still treats crypto as a liquid asset to execute real business opportunities. In November 2025, Kiyosaki liquidated part of his portfolio, selling $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin at around $90,000 to fund a surgical center investment and a billboard business.
For market participants, financial doom narratives may be effective at grabbing attention on social media, but institutional funds flow in based on real government yield data rather than the panic of a public figure.
