Renowned financial educator and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki has forecasted a dramatic rise in Bitcoin’s value, predicting it could hit $180,000 by the end of the year - and possibly even surpass $200,000.
His bullish outlook comes at a time when Bitcoin is trading at $87,235, still recovering from a drop below $80,000 earlier this year and well off its January peak of $108,786.
Kiyosaki’s renewed confidence in Bitcoin aligns with his long-standing skepticism of traditional financial systems. Warning that the U.S. dollar is being "wiped out," he urges investors to protect their wealth by shifting into hard assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver. He argues that these investments are critical to surviving what he calls a "premeditated disaster" fueled by systemic vulnerabilities in the U.S. economy.
A consistent critic of the Federal Reserve and U.S. monetary policies, Kiyosaki points to the continuing decline of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) as evidence of deepening financial instability. He believes that policymakers’ actions, combined with growing sovereign debt and inflationary pressures, are accelerating the erosion of the dollar’s global standing - a trend he sees as irreversible.
Recently, Kiyosaki also celebrated what he views as the early stages of a market crash he has warned about for years. He attributes recent stock market volatility - triggered in part by tariff disputes and geopolitical tensions - as validation of his predictions of an eventual financial reckoning.
In line with his views, Kiyosaki has announced plans to increase his Bitcoin holdings, particularly in light of the U.S. government’s reported interest in establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He sees this move as a further legitimization of Bitcoin as a critical hedge against monetary instability.
His message to investors is clear: diversify away from traditional fiat currencies and embrace decentralized, finite assets before larger financial disruptions unfold. Kiyosaki’s perspective, while controversial, continues to resonate with a growing number of investors seeking alternatives amid economic uncertainty.
Bitcoin’s trajectory in 2025 remains highly uncertain, as it faces both macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory scrutiny. However, endorsements from influential voices like Kiyosaki are contributing to sustained interest and optimism in the cryptocurrency sector.
