Robert Kiyosaki reignited debate in crypto markets after revealing he has sold part of his bitcoin and gold holdings while waiting for lower prices to re-enter.
In a post on X dated February 6, Kiyosaki said he stopped buying bitcoin at $6,000, gold at $300 and silver at $60, and confirmed partial sales to avoid capital gains taxes.
“As I posted earlier on X, I stopped buying silver at $60, I stopped buying bitcoin at $6,000, I stopped buying gold at $300, I sold part of my bitcoins and gold,”
Kiyosaki said, adding that:
“He is patiently waiting for new bottoms.”
The comments surprised followers given his earlier claims of continued accumulation during rising prices, prompting community backlash and accusations of inconsistency.
Kiyosaki defended his position by arguing that only entry prices matter, repeating his long-held maxim that “profit comes at purchase… not at sale,” while dismissing criticism of his timing.
Despite trimming some holdings, he maintained a bullish long-term stance on bitcoin, citing US debt, Federal Reserve policy and a weakening dollar as the real threats to wealth.
The episode has split crypto investors between those who view the move as disciplined risk and tax management and those who see it as a contradiction of Kiyosaki’s accumulation philosophy.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $70,487.98.
