Kiyosaki Warns 2026-27 Market Crash Could Become Depression

Robert Kiyosaki posted on X on April 27 warning that a market crash in 2026-27 could spiral into a depression and advising investors to prepare cash and buy discounted assets such as bitcoin, gold and silver.

The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad referenced past downturns he says he used to build wealth, listing the market crashes of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019 and 2022. He wrote, “In coming giant crash of 2026-27… I plan on growing richer not poorer. I wish the same for you.” He framed sharp declines as buying opportunities rather than reasons to panic.

Kiyosaki described the backdrop for his warning as an “Everything Bubble,” pointing to high global debt levels, years of loose monetary policy and declining confidence in fiat currencies. He warned pressure is appearing across equities, real estate, pensions and government-backed systems in the United States, Europe and Asia, and said tighter liquidity could deepen any sell-off.

His recommended approach is to hold scarce assets and keep buying power ready so investors can acquire holdings at lower prices during market weakness. He wrote, “In a crash, recession, and depression, great assets go on sale. Get richer by purchasing assets on sale.”

Kiyosaki identified bitcoin, gold and silver as preferred stores of value, citing bitcoin’s fixed supply. He disclosed a recent purchase of bitcoin near $67,000 and acknowledged he had sold some bitcoin and gold earlier than he would have liked.

Kiyosaki has a history of publishing commentary on debt, monetary policy and asset allocation on social media. His recent post urged investors to position capital before volatility increases and to view sharp price declines as potential buying opportunities.
