Bitcoin could be headed for a blast off as safe-haven demand surges across markets, according to Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, who pointed to gold’s huge spike as a signal for bitcoin and silver.
Robert Kiyosaki Signals Bitcoin ‘Blast off’ After Gold’s Sudden $128 Spike Sparks Safe-Haven Rush
Rich Dad Poor Dad author and investor Robert Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X on March 2 that gold surged sharply in a single day while signaling potential major moves ahead for silver and bitcoin as investors reacted to rising geopolitical tensions and volatility across global financial markets.
He said: “ Gold booms $128 in one day.” The bestselling financial author followed with a prediction for alternative assets, writing: “Better news is silver and bitcoin to blast off. Hang on.”
The comments surfaced as gold rallied amid escalating tensions in the Middle East after reports of military strikes and the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz on March 1. The flight to safe-haven assets lifted gold roughly $128 in a single session, briefly pushing prices near $5,414 on March 2. The metal soon experienced a sharp correction as the U.S. dollar strengthened, with markets seeing large intraday swings, including a fall from highs near $5,400 to lows around $5,023 on March 3.
Market reactions across other assets reflected uneven investor behavior during the geopolitical shock. Bitcoin initially declined to roughly $63,000 as traders reduced exposure to risk-sensitive positions. Prices later rebounded toward about $73,000 by March 4 as market sentiment stabilized and liquidity returned to digital asset markets. Silver has also seen sharp volatility, with spot prices testing the $83 to $100 range after briefly surpassing $100 per ounce in January during a speculative rally. Strong industrial demand tied to green energy and AI infrastructure continues to support long-term supply pressures.
Kiyosaki has repeatedly characterized gold and silver as “God’s money” and bitcoin as “the people’s money,” emphasizing the role of scarce assets during periods of currency debasement and expanding government debt. He expects BTC to reach $250,000 during 2026 and recently revealed he another full bitcoin near $67K on Feb. 20, framing the pullback as a fire sale opportunity. His outlook centers on two core arguments: the fixed 21 million bitcoin supply and concerns that rising U.S. national debt could pressure policymakers toward further monetary expansion. While some institutional forecasts also project substantial upside for bitcoin through 2026, many analysts caution that both cryptocurrencies and commodities remain highly volatile assets capable of significant drawdowns during periods of global economic stress.
