Summary
⚈ He’s bullish on Bitcoin, gold, and silver as protection against a looming economic crash.
⚈ Silver has strong upside, driven by rising industrial demand across key sectors.
Best-selling finance author Robert Kiyosaki has suggested that Bitcoin’s (BTC) fixed supply gives it an edge over gold among his favorite alternative assets.
According to the ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author, Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins makes it a more reliable store of value than traditional assets like gold and silver, he said in an X post on May 7.
To support his view, Kiyosaki drew from his experience as an investor in gold, silver, and oil. He argued that Bitcoin’s hard supply limit, coded into its protocol, creates predictable scarcity, whereas traditional commodities can see supply increase in response to higher prices.
Kiyosaki explained that rising commodity prices typically drive more production, which can dilute their long-term value. In contrast, Bitcoin’s supply cannot be increased, regardless of price.
“One reason why I trust Bitcoin is there are only to ever be 21 million. I own gold and silver mines and oil wells. If the price of gold, silver, or oil goes up, I will simply mine or drill for more, expanding supply,” he said.
Bitcoin’s freedom from manipulation
Previously, he has supported the status of Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, which makes it resistant to government or central bank interference.
Still, while Kiyosaki favors Bitcoin in this regard, he remains bullish on all three assets, asserting they have strong potential to protect wealth during an economic crash, something he has long, controversially warned is imminent.
While the financial educator sees Bitcoin eventually reaching as high as $1 million, he has recently turned increasingly bullish on silver.
He believes the white metal could double in value by 2026, noting that investors will likely flock to it once the stock market collapses.
Investors’ optimism about silver is also tied to its growing industrial demand, particularly in sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles (EV), electronics, arms manufacturing, medical equipment, and water purification.
Among his preferred alternative assets, gold has shown the strongest momentum in 2025, as investors seek safe-haven options amid escalating trade tensions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has largely consolidated, trading below the $100,000 mark.
