Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again highlighted Bitcoin as a preferred investment over gold. In a recent tweet, he explained that while owning gold, Bitcoin, and silver can help diversify a portfolio, if he had to choose only one asset, he would pick Bitcoin. His reasoning comes down to the fundamental differences between the two assets.
Kiyosaki pointed out that gold is theoretically unlimited. As its price rises, miners are encouraged to extract more, which increases the total supply over time. Bitcoin, in contrast, is deliberately limited to a maximum of 21 million coins. Currently, about 19.98 million Bitcoin have been mined, leaving fewer than two million coins yet to be released. Once the limit is reached, no additional coins can be created. Kiyosaki praised this scarcity as a clever mechanism that could drive the long-term value of Bitcoin.
He also shared that he is glad he bought his Bitcoin early, while continuing to mine gold and drill for oil. This shows that while he sees Bitcoin as extremely valuable due to its finite supply, he still values traditional assets as part of a diversified strategy.
However, Kiyosaki has made some contradictory statements regarding his own Bitcoin holdings. He previously said he bought Bitcoin as its price rose above $105,000 in mid-2025 but also admitted that he stopped buying at $6,000, a price last seen in mid-2020 after the COVID-19 market crash.
He has also shared conflicting views about selling. In November 2025, he tweeted that he would not sell Bitcoin and would continue buying, yet a week later he revealed he sold the coins he bought at $6,000 for $2.25 million to invest in surgery centers and a billboard business for cash flow.
These contradictions raise questions about which Bitcoin holdings he refers to in his latest tweet. Nevertheless, Kiyosaki continues to emphasize that Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it a stronger long-term store of value and, in his view, a better investment than gold.
