Robert Kiyosaki Bets on Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin Amid “More Fake Dollars”

Robert Kiyosaki warned followers on X that the US Treasury is printing more fake dollars, pointing to an expanded buyback program for longer-dated Treasury securities.

The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad labeled the move another round of quantitative easing in disguise.

What Officials Say the Buyback Move Actually Is

Quantitative easing refers to a central bank expanding the money supply by purchasing financial assets, typically to lower long-term interest rates. Officials, however, describe this specific measure differently.

The Treasury raised the maximum size of its buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per auction for 10- to 30-year bonds, effective September 9.

The announcement followed a sharp rise in long-term yields, with the 30-year bond briefly reaching levels not seen in nearly two decades. Officials described the larger buybacks as a liquidity measure rather than formal quantitative easing, noting that only the Federal Reserve can expand the monetary base.

Market observers largely characterized the step as a limited, operation-twist-style adjustment aimed at easing pressure on the long end of the curve. Still, the dollar weakened toward three-month lows.

Why Kiyosaki Sees This as More Fake Dollars

Kiyosaki argued that the buyback expansion amounts to creating more fake dollars regardless of the official framing. He claimed the resulting drop in the Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against major currencies, signals rising inflation.

That inflation, he warned, will punish savers holding cash or traditional paper assets. Educated investors, he wrote, grow richer by holding assets that tend to rise during currency debasement: gold, silver, Bitcoin, and select real estate.

Those who remain financially uneducated and cling to fiat currency, he added, steadily lose ground. Gold and Bitcoin attracted fresh buying interest amid broader debasement trade narratives that gained traction following the announcement.

“Facts are educated investors who invest in assets that go up in value, such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, some real estate, get richer….while people who are financially uneducated, and invest in fake assets get poorer,” Kiyosaki said on X.

Gold hitting $4,600, silver near $70, oil over $87, and Bitcoin's earlier spike above $79K show the Fed has lost all credibility on its commitment to returning inflation to 2%. Treasury made it clear the Fed will choose inflation, so investors are choosing their preferred hedge.

Kiyosaki has long championed hard assets over fiat currency, reiterating a favorite theme: the true cost of financial ignorance far exceeds the price of education.

As the US national debt has climbed past $40 trillion and fiscal concerns persist, his message remains consistent, urging investors to shift from dollars into scarce assets that preserve purchasing power.

Whether the buyback expansion proves temporary relief or a deeper signal of fiscal strain remains an open question for markets going forward.
