The author of the popular personal finance book Rich Dad, Poor Dad and longtime Bitcoin advocate, Robert Kiyosaki, announced a surprising decision to sell his entire BTC holdings valued at around $2.25 million. The digital assets were sold while Bitcoin was trading around the $90,000 mark, despite his continued vocal optimism regarding the cryptocurrency’s long-term outlook.
In his statement, Kiyosaki stated that the proceeds from the Bitcoin sale were not reallocated to other financial investment instruments, but rather used to strengthen his existing portfolio of real-world businesses. He reinvested the funds into two surgical centers and a billboard advertising venture, which he estimates could generate around $27,500 per month in tax-free passive income starting February 2026.
Kiyosaki revealed that the Bitcoin he sold had been purchased several years ago when the price was still around $6,000. Despite locking in substantial profits, he emphasized that the decision does not signal a change in his stance on Bitcoin. He remains confident that the cryptocurrency has a bright future and plans to accumulate BTC again using cash flow generated from his businesses.
Earlier in November, Kiyosaki projected that Bitcoin’s price could surpass $250,000 by 2026, alongside a forecast of gold surging to $27,000 per ounce. However, the sale announcement comes amid notable market pressure, during which Bitcoin briefly slid below $85,000 and touched an intraday low of around $80,537 before rebounding to the $84,000 region.
Market sentiment is also currently in a pessimistic phase. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to level 11, indicating “extreme fear” and reflecting heightened investor caution. Bitcoin has pulled back more than 33% from its all-time high above $126,000 set last October, preceding one of the largest liquidation waves in crypto market history.
Nevertheless, several analysts continue to view the pullback as a temporary consolidation phase. Veteran trader Peter Brandt estimates that Bitcoin could potentially reach $200,000 by the third quarter of 2029, arguing that the market “flush” actually strengthens its long-term structure. A similar perspective was shared by Bitfinex analysts, who noted that current market pressure does not yet signal a decline in institutional interest or a deterioration in Bitcoin’s fundamentals.
Kiyosaki’s decision highlights an investment strategy centered on optimizing productive cash flow, while continuing to maintain conviction in Bitcoin’s role as a strategic asset for the future.
