Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the well-known financial book Rich Dad Poor Dad, posted on social media platform X today, February 17, 2026, and warned users about an impending stock market crash. According to the post, the author thinks that this crash would be the biggest that the world has ever seen.
I Am Warning You: In Rich Dad’s Prophecy published 2013 I warned of the biggest stock market crash in history still coming.
That giant crash is now imminent.
The good news is those of you who followed my rich dad’s warning and prepared….the coming crash will make you richer…

In the tweet, the author referred to his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy, and he predicted this event. “That giant crash is now imminent,” he declared and with this post, he is urging his followers to brace themselves.
Kiyosaki even implied with his post that when this market crash happens, it will make some people very rich and leave others extremely hurt.
He believes that people who are prepared and own “real” assets will benefit. But people who are not prepared for this crash, there is a high possibility that they might end up losing a huge amount of money.
He later mentioned about being bullish about Bitcoin, even though the market is bit shaky as of now. He further added that he holds physical gold, silver, Ethereum and BTC. He avoids what he calls “fake assets” ) like paper money or assets he thinks can be printed endlessly.
Moreover, according to the author, when Bitcoin’s price falls and people panic sell, he sees it as a discount sale, like buying something valuable at a cheaper price.
Why Bitcoin? Kiyosaki’s Bull Case?
At the centre of his strategy is BTC’s scarcity. Since there are only 21 million coins and 19.8 million have been mined as of February 2026, the supply is tightening. The fourth halving in 2024 slashes new issuance to 3.125 BTC per block, amplifying this dynamic.
Kiyosaki sees current volatility, BTC hovering around $68,000 after a 1.47% weekly drop, as a discount on a high-quality asset.
At press time, the price of the token stands at $68,173.91 with a dip of 0.31% in the last 24-hours as per CoinMarketCap.
This statement is something that is aligned with this long-standing crypto advocacy. Since 2020, Kiyosaki has championed BTC as “people’s money” amid fiat inflation. He has repeatedly tied it to his crash predictions, including 2022’s bear market and 2023’s banking scares.
Robert Kiyosaki’s Track Record
Robert Kiyosaki has been right and wrong at times. His book Rich Dad Poor Dad made him famous for teaching people about money, real estate, and investing. He has predicted several market crashes (2008 financial crash, 2020-2021 Bitcoin bullish calls), some happened later than what he expected and some did not happen at all (2016 massive market crash, repeated hyperinflation warnings).
Still, he believes that crashes are nothing but opportunities where you can buy assets cheaply. With today’s inflation, high US debt, and market uncertainty, he says tough times can make smart investors richer. Others like Michael Saylor agree with the same.
