In a March 26 X post, Robert Kiyosaki—the famous author of the best-selling personal finance book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”—used a common rhetorical device when forecasting when the next financial crisis will arrive.

Specifically, this investor and influencer quoted the wisdom of earlier figures, noting that the renowned French astrologer Nostradamus and the American prophet Edgar Cayce both foresaw that 2026 would be the year of crisis.

Therefore, Kiyosaki reiterated his earlier prediction that a financial meltdown is coming, but also explained that he plans to use this downturn to make himself even richer. In the same X post, he also issued a kind of call to action, asking his fans a question: “Will you become richer, or poorer?”

Kiyosaki reveals his wealth-building strategy

Although Robert Kiyosaki’s strategy is relatively well known among the people who follow his work, he posted another follow-up X message a few hours later.

In fact, the investor clarified that his strategy has always been to buy assets that the government or banks cannot “print”—he actually wrote that his focus is on these assets, but the rest of the tweet and his earlier comments suggest this may be a typo—so he is not interested in cash, stocks, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Instead, Kiyosaki further emphasized that his strategy is to buy and hold several key assets: two major commodities—gold and silver; two major cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin and Ethereum; cash-flow businesses generated by rent from livestock; and real estate.

Kiyosaki says he saved meals to buy $600 worth of Bitcoin

In another follow-up X post, Kiyosaki’s remarks made the situation even more unclear. For example, he revealed that his strategy, at its core, is to buy assets and hold them permanently. As an example, he mentioned that when he first got into digital assets, he bought 6 Bitcoins for $600.

Notably, Kiyosaki claimed that he skipped several meals in order to buy Bitcoin.

Considering Kiyosaki’s professional background and the fact that it would have been impossible for him to buy any cryptocurrency before the late 2000s, this claim that “spending $600 means saving meals” either reveals his previously undisclosed financial tightness, or it is misleading.

Why Kiyosaki thinks the crisis could happen in 2026

Meanwhile, although Kiyosaki said he is actually not sure whether 2026 will be the year of crisis, he mentioned that he doubts the prediction by Nostradamus and Cayce that “2926” would bring a major disaster, suggesting the author made at least some errors when listing years.

No matter what the real situation is behind the predictions of ancient seers and Robert Kiyosaki’s claims, the fact is that the author of “Rich Dad” stated that Warren Buffett has been right to amass large amounts of cash over the years, allegedly because there is a lack of compelling investment opportunities.

In addition, although the tone of the second X post is less certain about the impending crisis question, it is clear from Kiyosaki’s early work that he firmly believes the United States Treasury bonds, the Federal Reserve’s ability to inject more funds into the economy through “printing money,” and BlackRock’s decision to freeze some withdrawals are all major risk factors.
