Key takeaways:
– Kiyosaki’s $750,000 Bitcoin target implies Bitcoin would trade at a roughly 95% discount versus gold, lower than the 2024 peak.
– A $750,000 Bitcoin may mean little if everyday costs, housing and energy rise similarly.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” series, posted on social media that a major financial “bubble burst” is imminent and that Bitcoin (BTC) could rally to $750,000 within one year of that crash.
The headline figure is striking, but its significance depends on timing and broader price moves for housing, energy and goods. For a prediction to be meaningful, a timeframe and context—especially changes in the cost of living and asset prices—matter.
Past episodes of rapid global money-supply growth, such as 2020–2021, spurred demand for scarce assets beyond what official inflation figures showed. Between July 2020 and December 2021, the S&P 500 rose about 52%, and average home prices in major U.S. cities jumped roughly 38% over two years—examples of how monetary expansion can lift asset prices.
Kiyosaki also forecasts gold reaching $35,000 per ounce one year after the bubble burst, a roughly 546% increase from its all-time daily close. Bitcoin’s $750,000 target sits about 500% above its record daily close of $124,724. If gold hit $35,000, its market capitalization would be about $243.2 trillion—around 4.4 times the current aggregate market cap of the S&P 500—which would also imply a large increase in gold production or revaluation of existing supply.
Kiyosaki expects the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio to fall to about 21.5, well below the December 2024 high near 40. The current 200-day moving average for that ratio is around 22, which makes his estimate conservative for Bitcoin relative to gold. A massive move in gold would likely reshape store-of-value rankings between the assets.
Kiyosaki has repeatedly predicted large market crashes going back years, often without the timing or severity he anticipated. Examples cited by outlets tracking his record include predictions for a 2016 crash and warnings in 2024 that the “biggest crash in history” had begun. In the months after some warnings, markets instead rallied—after one May 2024 warning the S&P 500 rose about 16% over the next eight months while gold gained about 15% and silver about 11%. His commentary has tended to favor warnings of collapses and recommending gold and silver as havens; Bitcoin has also been mentioned at times.
Even if Bitcoin reached $750,000, that outcome wouldn’t guarantee it becoming a top-five asset by market capitalization, especially if Kiyosaki’s other forecasts—such as silver rising to a multitrillion-dollar market—materialize. The prediction is bold but, relative to his historical calls and the implied shifts in other asset prices, not unambiguously bullish for Bitcoin investors.
