Financial educator and Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has named Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as part of his list of the 'safest investments' for 2026. In a series of statements on social media platform X, Kiyosaki outlined his 'investor secret,' which hinges on the ability to foresee a future shaped by persistent inflation and geopolitical strife.
Kiyosaki's rationale centers on two primary drivers: the relentless growth of national debt through government money printing, which he labels 'fake money,' and escalating, never-ending tensions in the Middle East. He argues these factors will continue to devalue fiat currencies like the US dollar and drive up oil prices, further fueling inflation. Consequently, he dismisses traditional investments like US Treasury bonds, stocks, and ETFs as 'trash.'
Instead, Kiyosaki advocates for a portfolio of hard assets and cryptocurrencies. His recommended safe havens for 2026 include 'real gold,' 'real silver,' oil, food, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. He positions BTC and ETH as modern digital hedges against inflation and centralized monetary policy, akin to gold but with the added utility of blockchain technology.
The commentary comes as Bitcoin price action showed modest recovery, gaining roughly 3% to reclaim the $67,760 level after a weekend dip to around $65,790. Kiyosaki's repeated public endorsements contribute to the ongoing narrative of cryptocurrency adoption as a store of value amidst global economic uncertainty.
