The Rich Dad Poor Dad author recently declared the “largest financial bubble in history” sits on the edge of collapse. “I do not know what pin, what event will pop the biggest bubbles in history. Whatever the event, the pin is near. It’s not IF. It’s WHEN,” according to reports from Phemex and other crypto outlets.
His post-crash predictions read like a crypto maximalist’s fever dream:
- Bitcoin hitting $750,000
- Ethereum reaching $95,000
- Gold soaring to $35,000 per ounce
- Silver climbing to $200 per ounce
All within one year after the crash.
BlackRock as the New Lehman Brothers
Kiyosaki specifically targets BlackRock’s private credit division as a potential crash catalyst, comparing it to Lehman Brothers before the 2008 meltdown. This connection carries weight given his track record—he famously predicted Lehman’s collapse on CNN before it happened.
His crash thesis centers on unresolved issues from 2008: mounting debt levels, continued quantitative easing, and fragile financial systems. The 2026 timeline echoes warnings he’s issued since 2013, suggesting systemic problems have only worsened.
Cash Strategy for the Coming Storm
Contrary to his usual “cash is trash” philosophy, Kiyosaki advocates holding cash during the immediate crash period. The strategy involves using that cash to scoop up discounted Bitcoin, gold, and silver once prices crater.
He recently bought Bitcoin around $67,000 while eyeing more aggressive purchases during potential deeper drops. This approach mirrors classic value investing principles—accumulate dry powder before the storm, then deploy when blood runs in the streets.
Bold Numbers, Shaky Foundation
The $750,000 Bitcoin target lacks analytical grounding, resembling attention-grabbing headlines rather than financial analysis. Critics note Kiyosaki’s predictions often feature round, dramatic numbers without supporting calculations or market fundamentals.
His past statements have drawn backlash, particularly claims about specific price-level strategies. Yet his 2008 Lehman Brothers call demonstrates he occasionally nails major predictions when conventional wisdom suggests otherwise.
Whether Kiyosaki’s latest warning represents prescient analysis or promotional theater, his massive following ensures these predictions influence retail investor sentiment in an already volatile crypto landscape.
