Robert Kiyosaki has again warned that a major market crash could arrive in 2026 or 2027, and he says prepared investors should think less about panic and more about buying strong assets at lower prices.
Good to Know
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, says the next downturn could be severe enough to resemble a depression. In an April post on X, he told followers that he expects to use a possible 2026 to 2027 crash to buy assets at lower prices rather than pull back.
He wrote: “In coming giant crash of 2026-27… I plan on growing richer not poorer. I wish the same for you.”
Kiyosaki tied that view to past market breaks, saying he became richer during crashes in 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019 and 2022. His point was not that crashes feel easy. It was that falling prices can give investors with cash a chance to buy assets they already wanted at lower levels.
He also wrote: “In a crash, recession, and depression, great assets go on sale. Get richer by purchasing assets on sale.”
For people new to Bitcoin, that idea needs a bit of care. A falling market can create cheaper entry points, but it can also keep falling for longer than expected. We should not treat any prediction as a guarantee, even when it comes from a well-known finance author.
Kiyosaki has built much of his recent commentary around what he calls an “Everything Bubble.” He argues that excessive debt, loose monetary policy and weaker trust in fiat currencies have left stocks, real estate, pensions and government-backed systems exposed. Just six months ago, he warned that this “Everything Bubble” could pop soon.
That explains why he often points to Bitcoin, gold and silver. Bitcoin is different from company shares or property because it has a fixed supply schedule and does not rely on a central bank to issue more units. For Kiyosaki, that makes it part of a long-term hedge against currency weakness and debt-heavy financial systems.
Still, Bitcoin can be volatile. A crash can drag Bitcoin down along with other risk assets, especially when investors need cash. So, a practical approach beats a dramatic one. Investors who already believe in Bitcoin often use smaller, regular buys, keep cash available, and avoid borrowing money to chase price drops.
Kiyosaki may be right that lower prices can reward prepared buyers. But the safer takeaway is simple: plan before markets get rough, know why you own an asset, and never build a Bitcoin strategy around fear alone.
