‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Author Kiyosaki Warns Bitcoin Bubble Will Burst Soon
Bitcoin’s Next Move: Bubble Burst or Bullish Continuation?
Corporate Bitcoin Demand Remains Strong Despite Market Swings
Key Takeaways:
- Kiyosaki’s warning aligns with whale sell-offs, but institutional demand suggests long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s growth.
- Analysts predict that Bitcoin’s cycle will peak near $200,000, and dips may present strategic buying opportunities.
- Critics note Kiyosaki’s past bearish projections have missed the mark, but his “buy the dip” stance is seen as a cyclical nature, not a projection.
In a post on X, Robert Kiyosaki kicked off the week by warning that “bubbles are about to start bursting” across the U.S. economy and that Bitcoin won’t escape unscathed.
After setting a fresh all-time high above $123,000 last week, BTC has slid back toward $118,000 amid profit-taking by long-term holders.
In typical contrarian fashion, Kiyosaki frames any coming correction in gold, silver, and Bitcoin as a buying opportunity: “If prices… crash, I will be buying.”
Bitcoin’s Next Move: Bubble Burst or Bullish Continuation?
On-chain data confirm an increase in selling pressure.
Glassnode reports that the seven-day average of whale-to-exchange transfers has neared 12,000 BTC, the highest level recorded so far in 2025. This echoes patterns last seen in late 2024, when traders locked in gains.
Bitcoin miners have also boosted their exchange outflows, signaling rising intent to sell.
Order flow data (as shown in chart above) reveals heavy selling when Bitcoin dropped to $116,200 with massive red blocks marking aggressive offers. Yet more buyers stepped in. These bulls came in near $116,250, pushing the price to bounce back to $118,500, proving the resilience of dip demand despite heavy selling from intraday traders.
Institutions are also standing firm. More public companies continue to add Bitcoin to their treasuries, and spot Bitcoin ETFs are drawing steady inflows.
Additionally, critics point out that Kiyosaki’s repeated crash forecasts often fail to materialize.
Market newsletter Brew Markets highlights a pattern of failed bearish calls, while on-chain analytics platform CoinGlass reports that none of its 30 bull-market indicators signal an imminent top.
Coinbase’s strategy team argues that corporate treasury buyers deploy capital directly into Bitcoin’s long‑term store‑of‑value thesis rather than speculative hype.
Bitcoin’s four-year cycle still points toward further upside.
Analysts project a year-end peak between $130,000 and $200,000, and macro signals—from rising Treasury yields to sticky CPI—could drive renewed FOMO into the final quarter.
Against that backdrop, Kiyosaki’s call to “buy the dips” may resonate with investors, who view any pullback as a chance to accumulate before the next leg up.
Corporate Bitcoin Demand Remains Strong Despite Market Swings
In this current cycle, one thing is clear. Spot Bitcoin ETFs are driving unprecedented demand.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) absorbed a $164.6 million inflow in early July, pushing its holdings past 700,300 BTC.
Meanwhile, corporate treasuries amassed over $810 million in fresh Bitcoin purchases between July 14 and July 19.
Twenty-one public companies added BTC to their balance sheets, led by Strategy’s 4,225 BTC acquisition, Metaplanet’s 797 BTC, and Sequans’s 683 BTC.
Four new treasury plans were launched, and seventeen more firms announced plans to acquire a combined 44,200 BTC.
On X, Michael Saylor signaled that Strategy will extend its buying streak.
The company’s recent portfolio tracker shows 601,550 BTC (about $70.9 billion), and its “Stay Humble. Stack Sats.” post typically precedes another corporate purchase.
Saylor’s hint suggests Strategy will further cement Bitcoin’s role as a core corporate reserve asset.
