Despite Bitcoin’s recent price pullback, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has revealed that he purchased another full Bitcoin at $67,000. The outspoken financial educator cited fears of a potential US dollar collapse and Bitcoin’s approaching supply milestone as the two key reasons behind his latest accumulation.
Robert Kiyosaki Buys BTC Amid Dollar Crash Fears
Bitcoin enthusiast Robert Kiyosaki announced in a recent X post that he had made a fresh purchase of 1 BTC despite struggling market conditions. Kiyosaki highlighted a potential US dollar crash as the primary reason behind his actions. Interestingly, the author has long warned about rising US debt levels and what he describes as excessive US Fed money printing, consistently cautioning that such policies could weaken the dollar over time.
In his latest remarks, Kiyosaki suggested that a debt-driven crisis could pressure the dollar, forcing monetary authorities to inject trillions into the financial system. According to him, such a scenario would significantly weaken fiat purchasing power, making scarce assets like Bitcoin more attractive.
While economists remain divided on the immediacy of such risks, the narrative of currency debasement continues to resonate strongly within segments of the crypto community.
21 Million Bitcoin Narrative Resurfaces
Beyond macroeconomic concerns, Kiyosaki also emphasized that the 21 millionth Bitcoin is nearing issuance. Interestingly, Bitcoin has a fixed, capped supply of 21 million coins, a feature embedded in its code to ensure long-term scarcity. The network operates on a proof-of-work model, where miners validate transactions and secure the blockchain while receiving newly minted BTC as rewards.
This issuance schedule gradually reduces over time through halving events, reinforcing the asset’s deflationary design. Kiyosaki argued that once the final Bitcoin is mined, the cryptocurrency’s transparent and immutable supply could strengthen its position as a superior store of value compared to gold. Notably, the last BTC will be mined by 2140, over 100 years from now.
Bitcoin vs Gold Debate Intensifies
Bitcoin has a reputation as “digital gold” due to its perceived hedge against inflation and its long-term store-of-value narrative. Supporters argue that its capped supply, decentralized structure, and independence from government control make it an attractive alternative to traditional safe-haven assets.
However, a recent report by Grayscale Investments suggests that instead of behaving purely as a store of value or haven, Bitcoin is currently trading more like an emerging technological asset. According to the report, Bitcoin’s price movements have recently aligned more closely with growth-oriented risk assets than with traditional hedges.
Meanwhile, Wall Street giant JPMorgan believes that Bitcoin’s lower volatility relative to gold over time could also make it increasingly attractive to investors in the long term, particularly as institutional participation deepens. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is currently eyeing the $68,000 mark. Gold, on the other hand, has surged by 2.23% to trade around $5,109, reflecting renewed interest in traditional safe-haven assets.
