Robert Kiyosaki, Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has warned that the "biggest stock market crash in history" has arrived. In a recent social media post, Kiyosaki claimed the downturn he predicted in 2013 is now becoming a reality.

However, despite widespread concerns over falling markets among most investors, Kiyosaki remains optimistic for those who are prepared. "The coming crash will make you richer beyond your wildest dreams," he stated, describing it as “sale” on valuable assets.

Kiyosaki said he is preparing for the downturn by holding what he calls “real” assets, including gold, silver, Ethereum and Bitcoin. He added that he remains especially bullish on Bitcoin and is buying more as its price falls.

Explaining his stance, Kiyosaki highlighted Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins, noting that most are already in circulation. He said he plans to purchase more during periods of panic selling.

“There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin and there are nearly 21 million Bitcoin already in circulation, he said.

Kiyosaki said crashes are “priceless assets going on sale,” and urged investors to buy rather than react with fear.

“This coming crash may make you richer beyond your wildest dreams if you realise crashes are the best of times to get richer, Kiyosaki said, adding that “Market crashes are priceless assets going on sale.”

Kiyosaki's warning came at a turbulent phase in the markets, with February 2026 showing an unstable financial environment.

Gold and silver witnessed a sharp decline in recent sessions, with silver dropping up to 4% in a single day, and approaching key support levels.

Bitcoin fell below $70,000 due to slowing momentum, with Ethereum trading in a narrow range as retail interest declined.

Even as experts predict steady gains for the S&P 500, Kiyosaki said a major crash will drive billions out of bonds and equities.
