Kiyosaki Bets on Bitcoin While Whales Flee: Is He Nuts or a Genius?

Well, butter my biscuit and call me confused! Robert Kiyosaki, the fella who penned Rich Dad Poor Dad, has gone and thrown his hat into the Bitcoin ring again. In a tweet that’ll make you scratch your head like a chicken on a junebug, Kiyosaki announced he bought a whole Bitcoin at a cool $67,000. And this, mind you, while the crypto market’s acting about as stable as a three-legged stool on a rocky boat.

As of this scribbling, Bitcoin’s prancing around $67,827, with a market cap that’s fatter than a Mississippi catfish at $1.36 trillion. Lordy, lordy!

Why in Tarnation Did Kiyosaki Buy Bitcoin?

Now, Kiyosaki ain’t no fool-he’s as careful with his money as a squirrel with its last acorn. He’s given us two reasons for this latest shenanigan, and they’re about as serious as a preacher on Sunday.

First off, he’s got the heebie-jeebies about the U.S. government’s debt, which is piling up faster than Aunt Sally’s pie crusts. He reckons the Federal Reserve’s gonna print more money than a counterfeit operation in a back alley, and that’ll turn the dollar into confetti.

Secondly, he’s all starry-eyed over Bitcoin’s “magical” 21 million cap. Says he, “When the 21st millionth Bitcoin is mined…. Bitcoin becomes better than gold.” Well, shucks, if that don’t beat all!

“When the 21st millionth Bitcoin is mined…. Bitcoin becomes better than gold.”

Kiyosaki’s been hollering at folks to hoard hard assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Guess he’s putting his money where his mouth is-or is he just spitting in the wind?

Whales Are Jumping Ship, But Retail’s Holding On

Meanwhile, the big fish-or “whales,” as they call ’em-are dumping Bitcoin like it’s yesterday’s news. Santiment’s data shows these bigwigs have shed about 0.8% of their holdings since Bitcoin’s October 2025 peak, when it hit a whopping $126K. Them wallets holding 10 to 10,000 Bitcoin are lighter than a scarecrow in a breeze.

But don’t you fret-the little guys, the retail traders, are stepping up. Wallets with less than 0.1 Bitcoin have grown by 2.5% since October. Them small fry are as stubborn as a mule in a mud puddle.

Experts say for a real bull run, the whales gotta stop acting like scaredy-cats and start buying like the good ol’ days.

Institutions Are Playing It Cool with Bitcoin ETFs

And it ain’t just the whales that are skittish. Institutional investors are tiptoeing around Bitcoin ETFs like they’re walking on eggshells. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen more outflows than a sieve in a rainstorm, with BlackRock’s ETF losing $608.4 million in six days flat.

But hold onto your hats-there’s a glimmer of hope. Bitcoin ETFs just saw $88.1 million in inflows, and BlackRock’s fund got $64.5 million back after days of bleeding. Could this be the start of a comeback, or just a blip in the chaos?

So, there you have it, folks. Kiyosaki’s betting on Bitcoin while the whales are jumping ship. Is he a visionary or just a fella with more money than sense? Only time will tell. Until then, keep your powder dry and your wallet closer.
