Robert Kiyosaki predicts when Bitcoin will surpass gold

Financial author Robert Kiyosaki has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) will likely overtake gold once the cryptocurrency reaches a critical supply milestone.

In an X post on February 21, Kiyosaki said Bitcoin will become superior to gold when the 21 millionth coin is mined. 

He argued that this milestone will cement Bitcoin’s scarcity advantage, as its supply is permanently capped by code, unlike gold, which can still see increases in output through discoveries and mining activity.

Notably, gold continues to dominate global asset rankings with a market capitalization of about $35.7 trillion, far ahead of Bitcoin’s roughly $1.36 trillion valuation.

While Bitcoin trades near $68,200, the cryptocurrency remains well below gold’s scale, highlighting the significant gap between traditional safe-haven assets and digital alternatives.

At the same time, Kiyosaki, best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, disclosed that he bought another whole Bitcoin at $67,000 despite the cryptocurrency’s recent price decline.

His decision was driven by expectations of a major shift in the global financial system and Bitcoin’s approaching supply ceiling.

Increased demand for Bitcoin 

Notably, the financial educator warned that mounting U.S. debt could weaken the dollar and prompt large-scale money printing by the Federal Reserve, a scenario he believes would accelerate demand for hard assets. In that environment, he sees Bitcoin’s fixed supply as a defining edge over traditional safe havens.

Overall, Kiyosaki remains a big advocate for Bitcoin and alternative assets such as gold and silver, noting that they are ideal for protecting wealth. As reported by Finbold, Kiyosaki has predicted what he calls the biggest stock market crash in history.

In this regard, the author has blamed surging U.S. debt, estimated at $38 trillion officially and far higher when including entitlements, along with continued money printing and currency devaluation, arguing that stocks, bonds, and cash will suffer most.

Rather than fear a downturn, Kiyosaki sees it as a buying opportunity. He has urged investors to shift from paper assets to “real” assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum (ETH), citing their long-term advantage.
