Robert Kiyosaki has surprised markets with a rare disclosure: he sold $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin, purchased years ago at roughly $6,000 per coin, to acquire two surgery centers and a billboard business. The bestselling Rich Dad Poor Dad author framed the move not as an exit from crypto, but as a textbook execution of the wealth strategy he’s preached for decades.
Turning Bitcoin Gains Into Cash-Flow Assets
Kiyosaki says the proceeds from his BTC sale will generate approximately $27,500 in monthly tax-free cash flowstarting next February. He called this an extension of the long-running playbook he learned from his “Rich Dad”: convert windfall gains into real operating businesses and income-producing assets.

The new purchases will join his larger portfolio of real-estate and private-business holdings, which he says already produces hundreds of thousands per month in passive income.
Still Bullish on Bitcoin
Despite the liquidation, Kiyosaki emphasized he remains “very bullish and optimistic on Bitcoin” and plans to accumulate more BTC using the fresh cash flow from his new businesses. He framed Bitcoin as a long-term hedge and a store of value, while his cash-flow assets provide stability regardless of market cycles.
“I Practice What I Teach”
Kiyosaki wrote that he was advised against publicly sharing his Bitcoin sale due to privacy and safety concerns, but chose transparency to counter what he calls a world filled with “fake teachers” and “fake money.”
He ended with a challenge to followers: “What is your get-rich plan?”
Amid a volatile global economy, Kiyosaki argues the key to survival is not timing markets, but building systems of assets that generate durable income, Bitcoin included.
