Key Insights:
- Robert Kiyosaki claims the May 20 US bond auction failed.
- No evidence supports a $50B Fed intervention.
- He predicts Bitcoin at $500K–$1M amid fears of financial collapse.
- Markets and Treasury auctions remain stable.
In a May 21, 2025, social media post, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warned that the U.S. economy was on the brink of collapse.
He claimed that a recent U.S. Treasury bond auction “had no one show up,” forcing the Federal Reserve to inject $50 billion of “its own fake money,” signaling hyperinflation.
Robert Kiyosaki declared “The End is Here,” predicting that “millions… young and old” would be wiped out financially. He repeated his long-standing mantra that in a coming crash, gold and Bitcoin will preserve wealth: he forecast gold climbing to $25,000, Bitcoin surging to $500,000–$1,000,000, and silver to $70.
Robert Kiyosaki’s Claims vs. Official Bond Auction Data
Robert Kiyosaki’s description of the May 20, 2025, 20-year Treasury auction – “no one showed up” and the Fed having to step in – is not supported by public data.
Treasury results show the auction was well-covered by investors. Recent similar auctions had strong demand (for example, an April 2025 20-year sale drew a 2.78 bid-to-cover ratio and a 4.63% high yield).
While the exact May 20 auction figures have not been widely publicized, the pattern of healthy bid-to-cover ratios above 2.5 and yields in the high-4% range suggests robust participation – the opposite of a “failed” auction.
In short, official Treasury data indicate that buyers did show up on May 20, contrary to Robert Kiyosaki’s description.
Crypto trading firm Wintermute provided market color that contradicts the narrative of a failed auction. In its May 19 market report, Wintermute noted that U.S. Treasury yields were climbing due to a Moody’s credit downgrade (with the 30-year yield above 5% and 10-year around 4.54%) – a sign of normal market forces, not a vacuum at the auction.
Bitcoin Market Outlook
Meanwhile, Bitcoin markets continue to show strength. As of late May and early June 2025, Bitcoin has been trading near record highs. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $107,400, roughly $1,000 shy of its all-time peak.
Volatility has been high. A brief dip below $103,000 around May 19–20 quickly reversed – but overall the trend remains upward. Over the preceding week, Bitcoin gained several percent.
Analysts note that trading volumes and ETF inflows have been supporting this rally. In short, Bitcoin is well off, solidly above $100,000 in early June 2025.
Robert Kiyosaki’s latest post is characteristic of his bullish views on alternative assets and bearish outlook on fiat. However, financial data do not corroborate his alarm.
On April 18, Robert Kiyosaki predicted that Bitcoin could surpass $1 million by 2035, citing concerns over the weakening U.S. dollar driven by inflationary policies.
Kiyosaki said,
“I strongly believe, by 2035, that one Bitcoin will be over $ 1 million, gold will be $30,000, and silver $3,000 a coin.”
Other high-profile figures share similar views. In February 2025, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood projected Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030, citing rising demand.
Earlier, on Dec. 10, Eric Trump told attendees at the Bitcoin MENA conference in Abu Dhabi that Bitcoin’s scarcity could drive its price to $1 million.
