Investor and author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, issued a warning on March 26, 2026, about a potential financial crash in 2026, citing predictions from 16th-century astrologer Nostradamus and 20th-century psychic Edgar Cayce, while reinforcing his long-standing strategy of holding assets he believes cannot be created by governments or banks.
Kiyosaki stated that his portfolio is built around oil, real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, assets he considers “real” wealth, and emphasized that he avoids financial products that “the Fed, the US Government, and the banks can print.” He framed a potential crash not as a loss but as a wealth-building opportunity for those who prepare in advance.
In a follow-up post, Kiyosaki apologized for any misinterpretation of his earlier remarks but did not walk back his view, instead using the moment to reinforce his investment philosophy.
Kiyosaki wrote: “I continue to invest in assets the Fed and government and Wall Street cannot print. Me personally. If a bank or Wall Street can print it… i don’t want. But that is just me. I love oil… real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and food production.” He stressed that his journey did not begin with large capital but with small purchases made consistently over time, recalling buying his first six Bitcoin with all the money he had at that point.
Kiyosaki invoked Warren Buffett, noting that the legendary investor has reportedly built up large cash reserves while waiting for better buying opportunities after a potential market selloff. “I do not know if their 2026 crash comes true…. Yet if it does come true, I am confident You and I will grow richer…. While millions grow poorer,” he wrote. He advised investors to rethink their approach to risk and opportunity, suggesting that market crashes can reshape wealth depending on how one responds.
In a separate post earlier in the week, Kiyosaki outlined aggressive price forecasts in the event of a global financial crisis:
Gold: $35,000 per ounce (one year after the crash)
Silver: $200 per ounce
Bitcoin: $750,000 per coin
Ethereum: $95,000 per coin
He asked investors what they expect prices to be after the next crisis, framing the projections as part of his long-standing advocacy for hard assets and decentralized currencies as protection against inflation, currency devaluation, and systemic risks.
Kiyosaki’s warnings come as global markets face multiple pressures, including geopolitical tensions, inflation risks, and shifting monetary policies. He has repeatedly cautioned against what he views as excessive money printing and debt-driven growth, arguing that assets not easily created or inflated away may be in a stronger position if a crash arrives.
Kiyosaki recommends oil, real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and food production. He avoids assets he believes can be “printed” by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. government, or Wall Street.
In the event of a global financial crisis, Kiyosaki predicted gold could reach $35,000 per ounce, silver $200 per ounce, Bitcoin $750,000 per coin, and Ethereum $95,000 per coin within one year after the crash.
Kiyosaki referenced predictions by Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce about a 2026 crash but emphasized that he does not know if it will come true. His primary message is that investors who prepare in advance and hold assets that cannot be easily created may be in a stronger position if a crash occurs.
