Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling Rich Dad Poor Dad, has revealed that he recently sold a portion of his Bitcoin holdings valued at $2.25 million. According to his recent post on X, Kiyosaki disclosed that he originally purchased the coins years ago at about $6,000 each, giving him a substantial gain despite the current market downturn.
In his post, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author stated that he sold the Bitcoin for roughly $90,000 per coin and is now channeling the proceeds into two surgery centers and a billboard business. He estimates that these new investments will collectively generate approximately $27,500 in monthly, tax-free cash flow by February, further strengthening what he describes as a “fluffier” financial cushion that already runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per month from his existing real estate ventures.

“I sold $2.25 million in Bitcoin for approximately $90,000. I purchased the Bitcoin for $6,000 a coin years ago. With the cash from Bitcoin, I am purchasing two surgery centers and investing in a billboard business. I estimate my $2.25 million Bitcoin investment into the surgery centers and Billboard business will be positive cash flowing, approximately $27,500 a month income by next February tax tax-free. Adding $27,500 a month income to my years of previous Cashflow positive real estate-based business makes my cash flow cushion a bit fluffier, into $100’s of thousands per month.”
Despite liquidating a multimillion-dollar portion of his crypto holdings, Kiyosaki emphasized that he remains bullish on Bitcoin and plans to resume accumulation using cash flow from his businesses. He framed the move as part of a long-term wealth-building strategy rooted in the principles he learned from his “Rich Dad,” comparing it to the strategy taught in his Cashflow board game, turning speculative gains into income-producing assets with tax and debt advantages.
Kiyosaki acknowledged that he was advised not to publicly disclose the sale due to safety concerns, referencing what he called “too many sickos out there.” Still, he chose to share the update as part of his ongoing focus on transparency and financial education. His decision comes as a surprise to many, given his earlier predictions that Bitcoin could climb as high as $250,000. Only weeks earlier, he stated he was buying more Bitcoin and Ethereum during the market correction, forecasting “massive riches” ahead.
Kiyosaki’s selloff coincides with another notable move in the crypto space, where a Bitcoin whale who first accumulated BTC in 2011 is reported to have liquidated his entire holdings. These significant exits appear as Bitcoin faces mounting selling pressure, triggering renewed concerns that the market may be transitioning into a bear phase.
The price of Bitcoin continued to plunge, falling to around $80,628 on Friday, its lowest level in six months. The crypto asset closed below its 50-week moving average, a key level closely monitored by analysts. Crypto strategist Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin’s failure to reclaim this threshold has “invalidated bullish market structures,” pointing to a shift in the macro trend. BTC has also dropped below the 100-week moving average, reinforcing the downward momentum.
Additional bearish confirmation came from Bitcoin’s SuperTrend indicator, which flashed a sell signal a pattern that has historically marked the beginning of extended bear markets. Meanwhile, realized losses across the Bitcoin network have soared above $800 million, levels not seen since the collapse of FTX in 2022. On-chain data from Glassnode shows both short-term and long-term holders capitulating, with short-term investors increasingly selling at losses and amplifying downward pressure.
Analysts suggest that the Bitcoin market is currently undergoing a full momentum reset, a cooling phase that typically emerges between major market cycles. With directional strength fading and sentiment weakening, the cryptocurrency finds itself in a period of uncertainty as investors reassess its next trajectory.
