Key Takeaways
Is Kiyosaki Abandoning Bitcoin Completely?
No. He still believes in Bitcoin in the long term and plans to buy more later using the cash flow from his new investments.
How much return will the new investments yield?
He expects to be tax-free for about $27,500 a month starting in February, putting his total monthly income in the hundreds of thousands.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of one of the best-selling books ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, has cashed out some of his Bitcoin holdings and sold approximately $2.25 million.
What makes this move notable is not only the profit, since he originally bought the coins for $6,000 each, but also the timing of the sale.
The sale comes as Bitcoin trades around $84,567.86, down 1.12% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
Why did he sell Bitcoin?
Instead of staying in crypto, Kiyosaki revealed he redirects the proceeds into real assets, including two surgery centers and a billboard company.
He said,
“I estimate that my $2.25 million Bitcoin investment in the operations centers and Bill Board operations will approximately generate positive cash flow.”
Kiyosaki’s decision to hand over some of his Bitcoin [BTC] holdings has a clear rationale: turning digital profits into cash flow-positive long-term assets.
According to his statement, the liquidation will allow him to generate $27,500 per month by February, even if it is tax-free, adding to already substantial revenue from decades of real estate-backed businesses.
What will he do with the investment?
With this new investment, he claims his monthly cash flow will increase into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, reinforcing his core wealth philosophy of prioritizing real assets and stable returns.
Despite the sale, Kiyosaki clarified that he remains bullish on Bitcoin and plans to accumulate more using future cash flow rather than existing holdings.
He described the move as part of the same wealth-building strategy he has followed since childhood, emphasizing that while crypto has a role, it is only one part of a broader financial plan anchored in income-producing real estate.
He also noted that his approach may not suit everyone, even as he acknowledged that investors like Warren Buffett and Donald Trump are following very different playbooks.
However, the sale comes at a time when Bitcoin’s broader market structure appears shaky.
Bitcoin dominance and the fear and greed index
The dominance of the asset is slipped to 58.99%, meaning Bitcoin now holds a smaller share of the value of the overall crypto market as capital increasingly rotates into alternatives like Ethereum [ETH]Solana [SOL]and XRP.
This shift signals declining relative strength for Bitcoin and growing interest in altcoins, although it remains uncertain whether this signals an emerging rotation or general market weakness.
Market sentiment further reflects this vulnerability.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sit at 10, indicating extreme fear as traders retreat from risk and uncertainty increases.
Such levels are often accompanied by panic selling, a lack of confidence and increased volatility.
Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin Predictions All Year Round?
Kiyosaki’s latest move fits into a long-term pattern of strategic positioning rather than abandoning Bitcoin altogether.
Earlier this year, he predicted that Bitcoin could rise from $175,000 to $350,000 by 2025, a prediction that influenced its continued accumulation before this recent sell-off.
YIn July, he also warned of an impending collapse, calling it “good news” for long-term believers who could buy at lower prices.
These conflicting views underscore his cyclical approach: embracing Bitcoin as a high-growth asset while simultaneously turning profits into real, cash-flow-positive investments.
With the market in extreme fear, declining dominance and heavy selling pressure, his actions underscore a broader message: lasting wealth, he believes, comes not just from holding volatile assets, but from turning them into consistent income that can weather market cycles.
