Were Robert Kiyosaki's Claims of Buying Gold Silver and Bitcoin False?
Were Robert Kiyosaki's Claims of Buying Gold Silver and Bitcoin False?
One recent remark by Robert Kiyosaki has reignited a trust debate surrounding the investment narrative of gold, silver, and bitcoin.
According to cryptocurrency-focused outlet Finbold on February 6 (local time), Robert Kiyosaki, best known as the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” stated in a post on X on February 5 that he has not added to his holdings of gold or bitcoin (BTC) for years, and that silver is the only asset he has purchased recently. This runs directly counter to his long-standing message that he continues buying regardless of price.
In the post, Kiyosaki explained that he last bought bitcoin about five years ago when it was around $6,000, and that he stopped adding gold after buying near $300 per ounce prior to the Great Depression. By contrast, he said he recently purchased silver in December 2025 at around $60 per ounce.
The reason the statement became controversial is clear. As recently as January 22, 2026, when bitcoin was trading around $90,000, silver at $96, and gold near $4,900, Kiyosaki had publicly claimed that he was “still buying.” That post quickly received a community note, raising questions about the consistency of his remarks.
In particular, he repeatedly emphasized “continued buying” throughout the rallies of 2025 and early 2026, and made similar remarks in July 2025 when bitcoin approached $120,000. As a result, the market is divided over whether his recent admission simply reflects a long-term holding strategy or reveals exaggerated messaging.
Some observers say the latest comments have once again brought Kiyosaki face to face with long-standing criticism of excessive self-promotion. However, his intentions are difficult to pin down. In fact, amid a recent market correction, bitcoin fell to $64,756, giving up gains accumulated since 2024, while Ethereum (ETH) declined to around $1,870. Gold and silver also saw short-term pullbacks to roughly $4,860 and $74, respectively.
This controversy is serving as a reminder beyond Kiyosaki himself of how influential statements by well-known personalities can shape investment decisions.
