Robert Kiyosaki Predicts 2026 Economic Collapse, Recommends Bitcoin as a Hedge
In 1974, the United States established the “petrodollar” system for oil trading in U.S. dollars and enacted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, to strengthen corporate pension plans. Kiyosaki believes both structures are now under pressure from dollar depreciation, energy conflicts and the retirement of baby boomers, potentially amplifying global inflation and pension risks.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” recently renewed his warning that structural problems dating to 1974 will come to a head in 2026 and could even trigger a global economic collapse. He recommends holding gold, silver and Bitcoin as hedges but offered no investment amount, asset-allocation ratio or Bitcoin price target. His remarks remain a personal market forecast.

The history behind this eventKiyosaki Slams US Debt Buybacks, Urges Bitcoin and Gold Hedges
US Treasury debt buybacks involve repurchasing outstanding government securities to support market liquidity and manage federal financing. The transactions are distinct from Federal Reserve quantitative easing and do not automatically increase the money supply. Still, mounting US debt and interest costs have intensified debate over fiscal discipline, inflation and the dollar’s long-term purchasing power, prompting some investors to seek scarce assets as protection against currency debasement.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” criticized the Treasury’s expansion of longer-dated debt buybacks as effectively printing “fake money” to support the bond market. He said the policy could further erode the dollar’s value and urged investors to hold Bitcoin, gold and silver as hedges against inflation and a broader debt crisis. The cited report did not specify the amount of the expanded purchases or an implementation date.
