Kiyosaki Cashes Out Bitcoin for $2.25M, Shifts into Cash-Flow Businesses

Robert Kiyosaki, the well-known author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and a frequent voice in the financial education space, has revealed that he recently sold his long-held Bitcoin holdings for a total of $2.25 million. According to his latest social media update, Kiyosaki originally purchased the coins years ago for about $6,000 per BTC, making his sale at roughly $90,000 per coin a highly profitable move. His decision comes as Bitcoin trades near $84,475, following intense volatility that briefly pushed the price below $81,000 earlier in the day on Bitstamp.

Despite previously forecasting that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $250,000, Kiyosaki said the sale was strategic, not a retreat from crypto. The outspoken investor, who once filed for bankruptcy in 2012, emphasized that the purpose of cashing out was to acquire assets that would generate steady cash flow. With the proceeds from his Bitcoin liquidation, he purchased two surgery centers and invested in a billboard business, ventures he believes will produce approximately $27,500 per month in tax-free income by February. He describes this income as positive cash flow that exceeds operating costs, reflecting a major principle he often teaches about building long-term wealth.

Kiyosaki also made it clear that he remains bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Earlier this month, he claimed he continued buying Bitcoin and Ethereum during the market correction, expressing confidence in what he called “massive riches” ahead. Although he has temporarily divested, he intends to buy more BTC in the future using the returns from his new businesses.

His latest move highlights a shift from speculative gains to income-producing assets, a strategy consistent with his long-standing financial philosophy. Even with a short-term exit, Kiyosaki maintains that Bitcoin remains one of the most valuable opportunities for investors looking beyond market turbulence.
