Robert Kiyosaki Reveals Why He Sold His Bitcoin
In a Friday post on the X (formerly Twitter) social media platform, Kiyosaki said he sold $2.25 million in BTC and funneled the proceeds into two “surgery centers” and a billboard business to generate additional cash flow. According to his estimates, the investment in these businesses should yield roughly $27,500 in tax-free monthly income by February of next year.
The renowned real estate mogul stated that he purchased Bitcoin “years ago” when it was valued at just $6,000 and sold it at roughly $90,000 per coin.
Despite the sale, Kiyosaki emphasized that he remains very bullish on Bitcoin and plans to acquire more of the cryptocurrency with the new sources of income.
“I am still very bullish and optimistic on Bitcoin and will begin acquiring more with my positive cash flow. This has been my “get rich plan” since I began playing Monopoly with my Rich Dad for over 65 years,” he postulated.
 
His latest remarks come after his claim on Nov. 15 that a global cash shortage was driving the market-wide crash, and that he was holding onto his BTC. At the time, he indicated plans to scoop up more Bitcoin once the downturn ended.
Earlier this month, Kiyosaki projected that Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by 2026, while warning of an inevitable collapse in U.S. monetary stability. This came alongside a call for gold to reach $27,000 per ounce.
Continuing in the grip of panicky selling, Bitcoin fell to sub-$82,000 earlier on Friday before bouncing back slightly to $84,490 as of press time, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. BTC is now down over 30% from its record level of $126,080 set on Oct.6.
Meanwhile, legendary chart analyst Peter Brandt recently suggested that Bitcoin will tap $200,000 in Q3 2029, adding that the latest market pullback was a healthy reset for BTC, which he remains long-term bullish on.
