Robert Kiyosaki Sells Bitcoin Stake, Redirects $2.25M Into Business Ventures

Highlights:

• Kiyosaki sells Bitcoin to invest in his businesses for a steady income as BTC continues downward.
• He plans to invest the profits into two surgery centers and a billboard business.
• This shift comes as Bitcoin’s sharp drop fuels market uncertainty and investor concern.

Investor and famous financial educator Robert Kiyosaki revealed on Friday that he exited his $2.25 million Bitcoin position during one of the heaviest downturns of the current cycle. The author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” explained that funds from the sale will shift into ventures he already owns. He shared that the plan focuses on growing steady earnings rather than holding the digital asset during the steep decline.

Kiyosaki Turns Bitcoin Sell Gains Into Business Ventures

Robert Kiyosaki said he first bought Bitcoin years earlier when the token traded near $6,000. He confirmed that the recent sale took place for close to $90,000. He disclosed that the generated gains will be channelled toward two surgery centers and a billboard venture. According to his figures, these investments may bring in around $27,500 in tax-free monthly income by February 2026.

PRACTICING WHAT I TEACH:

I sold $2.25 million in Bitcoin for approximately $90,000.

I purchased the Bitcoin for $6,000
a coin years ago.

With the cash from Bitcoin I am purchasing two surgery centers and investing in a Bill Board business.

I estimate my $2.25 million…

His announcement appeared while BTC briefly slipped under $85,000 on Friday. Data showed the token even reached $80,537 before recovering near $84,000 around the time of writing. The ongoing decline created a harsh atmosphere among traders, especially after the sharp collapse recorded on October 10, which marked one of the most severe liquidation events in crypto history.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which monitors sentiment, dropped to 11 on Friday. The level represents one of the lowest readings in several years and signals intense fear among participants. Pressure intensified as the coin has now fallen more than 34% from its October peak above $126,100. 

Kiyosaki still maintained a positive view on BTC’s long-term strength. He said, “I am still very bullish and optimistic on Bitcoin and will begin acquiring more with my positive cash flow.” His previous forecast from November 9 placed the token at $250,000 by 2026. He also expected gold to reach $27,000 per ounce within that same period.

Analysts Said the Market Shows Continued Pressure

Several analysts watched the downturn closely. Veteran trader Peter Brandt said on Thursday that Bitcoin could still reach $200,000 in Q3 2029. He explained that the recent drop doesn’t change his long-term view. However, he also noted that the price might fall toward $58,000 before any big recovery starts. Brandt’s outlook matched broader comments trying to explain the current market pressure. His focus stayed on long-term trends instead of short-term fear.

Full disclosure folks
Of my maximum ever Bitcoin position I still own 40%, at a price 1/20th of Saylor's avg buy.
I am a long-term bull on Bitcoin. This dumping is the best thing that could happen to Bitcoin. The next bull market in Bitcoin should take us to $200,000 or so. That…

In another sign of ongoing strain, BlackRock continued to move large amounts of BTC and Ethereum to Coinbase. The firm reportedly made several transfers again on Thursday. These repeated actions added a new layer of concern, as some observers linked the transfers with broader market weakness.

Meanwhile, former BitMEX chief Arthur Hayes shared a different angle on the latest slide. He said the broader market might be close to reaching a bottom. Hayes suggested that investors should wait until U.S. equities pull back before deploying heavy capital into crypto positions. His view presented a more cautious approach to near-term decision-making.

$BTC undershooting decline in $ liq. Bottom is near, but be patient before blowing your load. Wait for US stonks to puke as well. We are playing for more money printing, and for that we need AI tech stocks to crater. pic.twitter.com/ANMQcK1Uto
