Robert Kiyosaki Cites Warren Buffett Cash Strategy While Loading up on Bitcoin Ahead of 'Giant Crash'

Robert Kiyosaki warns a “giant crash” is accelerating as Warren Buffett piles up cash for turmoil, while he urgently shifts millions into bitcoin, gold, silver, and oil in preparation for what he believes could be the biggest market collapse in history.

Robert Kiyosaki Doubles Down on Bitcoin Strategy While Warren Buffett Builds Crash Liquidity

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warned of a potential financial crash on March 15, urging investors to consider how they position their money while stating he continues purchasing oil, precious metals, bitcoin, and ethereum.

Referencing Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett’s large cash position, Kiyosaki wrote: “Cash is not trash in a crash.” He discussed Buffett’s strategy of holding liquidity to deploy during market downturns, asking followers: “Should you follow in Buffett’s footsteps? A: I do not know. What you do with your money is up to you.” Kiyosaki emphasized that he takes a different approach, stating:

“Last week I took millions in cash and purchased more oil wells, more gold, silver, and bitcoin. I doubt Warren Buffett would do what I do.”

A couple of days earlier, Kiyosaki warned on X about stress in parts of the financial system. “Crash accelerates,” he wrote. “Private credit funds are panicked as investors withdraw their money. Major big name banks and brand name financial institutions are in trouble.” The investor also outlined his current positioning, noting:

“I continue more into oil, silver, gold, bitcoin, and ethereum.”

Kiyosaki further emphasized that capital tends to shift locations during financial stress rather than disappear.

Meanwhile, the renowned author stressed the importance of planning during market volatility and pointed to geopolitical factors affecting energy markets. “If you do not have a plan for your cash… during a crash, the smartest thing you may consider doing is… nothing,” he advised.

Kiyosaki has intensified similar warnings in early 2026, arguing that the “giant crash” he predicted in his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy is approaching and saying it could become the largest stock market crash in history. The acclaimed author has pointed to risks in private credit markets, unresolved issues from the 2008 global financial crisis, and heavy exposure of retirement savings to stocks and bonds. Kiyosaki frequently promotes bitcoin alongside gold and silver as a scarce “real asset,” citing its fixed supply of 21 million coins and arguing market downturns create opportunities to accumulate it.

He concluded:

“I am confident after a giant crash the price of gold, silver, and bitcoin will go up.”

While admitting that he could be wrong, Kiyosaki wrote: “I am confident as long as Iran keeps shooting oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of oil from my Texas oil wells keeps going up.”
