“Real Money Wins”: Kiyosaki Bets Big on Hard Assets Ahead of 2026

Best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki is once again sounding alarms over what he calls an inevitable financial collapse - but rather than retreating from risk, he’s doubling down on assets he believes can survive it.

The Rich Dad Poor Dad writer said he’s expanding his positions in gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, describing them as “real money” in a system he claims is built on “fake dollars.”

In a recent X post, Kiyosaki argued that while markets brace for turbulence, hard assets remain the safest bet. He forecast gold climbing to $27,000, silver to $100, and Bitcoin soaring to $250,000 by 2026, citing economist Jim Rickards for his gold outlook and reiterating his belief that Bitcoin is the antidote to excessive money printing by the Federal Reserve.

Interestingly, Kiyosaki has also turned bullish on Ethereum, echoing Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who views the network as the backbone for stablecoin transactions and a cornerstone of future digital finance. Drawing on Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s Laws, Kiyosaki argues that money with real scarcity and strong network effects will ultimately dominate.

He’s been a fierce critic of U.S. fiscal policy, accusing the Treasury and the Fed of turning America into “the biggest debtor nation in history.” Still, on-chain indicators suggest he may be onto something: analytics platform Crypto Crib reports Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio has returned to 1.8 – a zone that historically precedes strong recoveries.

Adding to that optimism, Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO, recently predicted that growing U.S. debt will force the Fed into a “stealth” version of quantitative easing, quietly flooding markets with liquidity – a move he believes will ultimately lift crypto prices across the board.
