Robert Kiyosaki Chooses Bitcoin Over Gold as Bernstein Projects $150,000 by 2026

Highlights:

• Kiyosaki says Bitcoin is better than gold for long-term portfolio diversification.
• He highlights Bitcoin’s fixed supply versus gold’s ability to increase production easily.
• Amid extreme crypto fear and volatility, Bernstein analysts reaffirm Bitcoin’s $150,000 price target by the end of 2026.

Financial commentator Robert Kiyosaki has reignited debate over alternative assets by declaring Bitcoin superior to gold for long-term diversification. His remarks came during a period of heightened volatility across global markets, where investors continue to weigh risks tied to both digital currencies and traditional commodities.

Kiyosaki Chooses Bitcoin Over Gold for Long-Term Value

In a recent post on X, Kiyosaki acknowledged that both gold and Bitcoin serve important roles in portfolio diversification. Yet when asked to choose, he made clear his preference for Bitcoin. He explained that the decision rests not on short-term price swings but on structural supply differences.

I am often asked:

Which is a better investment?

Gold or Bitcoin.

Obviously I would say both for diversification of assets and add silver.

Yet if I had to choose only one asset I would choose Butcoin.

Why?

Because gold is in theory infinite. When the price of gold rises…

Kiyosaki emphasized that gold production can expand when prices rise, as higher valuations encourage more mining activity. He noted his own involvement in gold mining, underscoring his familiarity with the sector. By contrast, Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million coins, a limit that cannot be altered. According to him, this scarcity sets Bitcoin apart from traditional commodities and supports its long-term value.

He explained that since the supply of Bitcoin is fixed, the price pressure should remain positive. Kiyosaki revealed that he bought Bitcoin at an early price of $6,000 and that he is still satisfied with the investment. He also pointed out that he bought silver at $60 and gold at $300.

His comments came as crypto markets showed extreme fear. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to 5. This level shows extreme fear. Last week, Bitcoin fell sharply. It briefly went above $60,000 and lost nearly $10,000 in hours. Later, it rose above $70,000. At publication, Bitcoin was $69,084, over 45% below its October peak of $126,080. Gold stayed more stable. It traded at $5,029 per ounce, up 1.28% that day. Earlier this year, gold reached a record $5,602 on January 29, 2026. It stayed near historic highs despite market turbulence.

Previously, Kiyosaki said he is pausing new purchases of Bitcoin, gold, and silver. He explained this is due to concerns about U.S. government finances, not doubts about the assets themselves. He noted the national debt is $38 trillion and total obligations, including Social Security and Medicare, near $250 trillion.

Bernstein Confident Bitcoin Can Reach $150,000 in 2026

Analysts at Bernstein echoed optimism about Bitcoin’s resilience. Gautam Chhugani and his team told clients that the current downturn is the “mildest bear case” in the asset’s history. They reiterated a $150,000 price target by the end of 2026, and argue that recent declines reflect waning confidence rather than structural weakness.

They emphasized that no major failures, hidden leverage, or systemic breakdowns have occurred during this pullback. “What we are experiencing is the weakest bitcoin bear case in its history,” the analysts wrote, adding that the sell-off stems from sentiment rather than fundamental problems.
