Big prediction from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki: Gold will go to $25,000
THE END is HERE:
WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up?
That is what happened yesterday.
The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up.
So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.
The party is over. Hyperinflation is… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 21, 2025

Bestselling author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki , known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, doubled down on gold in a post on the social media platform X, predicting a dramatic surge in its price amid economic turmoil. He described the recent U.S. bond auction as a failure and called it a harbinger of financial collapse.'Good news. Gold will go to $25,000. Silver to $70. Bitcoin to $500k to $1 million.'Kiyosaki declared, "THE END is HERE", expressing concerns about hyperinflation, a collapsing bond market, and severe consequences for the global economy.'WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up? That is what happened yesterday,' Kiyosaki wrote, referencing the U.S. Treasury's recent 20-year bond auction that drew soft demand from investors.This follows the U.S. Treasury Department's struggle to attract buyers for a $16 billion sale of 20-year bonds, reflecting growing investor anxiety over the ballooning national debt and fiscal uncertainty as Congress debates new spending legislation.Stocks and the dollar sold off following the weak auction results, while U.S. Treasury yields rose, signalling market concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.Kiyosaki elaborated on the issue, stating, 'The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up. So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.'The author interpreted this move as a sign of deeper monetary instability continuing. 'The party is over. Hyperinflation is here. Millions, young and old, to be wiped out financially,' he added.His reaction comes on the heels of Moody's downgrade of the United States' sovereign credit rating, which followed earlier downgrades from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's.In a post made earlier this week, Kiyosaki remarked that the downgrade signifies that 'the US is like a dead-beat dad who is spending borrowed money, without a job, and not taking care of his family.'He warned that such credit downgrades may trigger higher interest rates, pushing the U.S. economy into a recession and potentially leading to unemployment, failing banks, a housing crisis, and even a depression on the scale of 1929.The recent bond auction only intensified those concerns. The auction's poor reception could spur bond market vigilantes, investors demanding greater fiscal discipline, and lead to a harsher investment climate for the U.S. government.Kiyosaki also reiterated his views on personal preparedness and financial independence, urging followers to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset.'I have always recommended people become entrepreneurs, at least a side hustle, and not need job security,' he wrote in a prior post, adding that individuals should invest in income-producing real estate, and accumulate assets like real gold and silver and today Bitcoin.As global uncertainty mounts, markets appear to be reacting accordingly. Gold prices have been on the rise, and Bitcoin recently surged past $111,000, hitting its all-time high, fueled by increased institutional interest and demand for alternatives to fiat currency.Kiyosaki has consistently criticised the U.S. Federal Reserve's policies and the country's departure from the gold standard in 1971, stating that 'each crisis gets bigger because they never solve the problem.' Reaffirming his stance, he concluded his recent post with a stark warning:'THE END I have been warning the world about is HERE. May God have mercy on our souls,' he stated.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own. These do not represent the views of The Economic Times)

Crypto's new trend: Publicly traded companies buying bunches of bitcoin
It's one of crypto's hottest trends: publicly traded companies buying bitcoin and then buying even more. President Donald Trump's media company just announced a plan to raise USD 2.5 billion to buy bitcoin, joining a growing number of so-called bitcoin treasury companies as the world's most popular crypto-currency hits all-time highs. The companies buy bitcoin for different reasons: Some hold it as a hedge against inflation or to signal support for the crypto-currency industry, while some firms have made using debt and stock sales to buy bitcoin their primary business strategy. The world at large has no idea what's happening and they're in for a big shock, Dylan LeClair, an executive at the Japan-based Metaplanet, which recently went from being a budget hotel firm to a bitcoin treasury company, said at a recent crypto conference. This is a one-way train, nothing is going to stop this. The massive increases in some firms' stock price may seem to validate LeClair's bravado, but there are plenty of warnings that a downturn in bitcoin's prices could lead to large selloffs. Here's a look at bitcoin treasury companies by the numbers: 582,000 That's how many bitcoins owned by MicroStrategy the undisputed goliath of bitcoin treasury companies. With nearly 3 per cent of the total bitcoin supply, MicroStrategy owns more bitcoins than every other bitcoin treasury company combined. It also owns more bitcoin than every nation state combined, according to the tracking site Now called Strategy, the software company first started buying bitcoin in 2020 with reserve cash. Now, its software business is a small part of a perpetual bitcoin-buying machine that uses a variety of strategies like selling shares or issuing debt to keep growing its bitcoin holdings. More than 3000 per cent That's how much MicroStrategy's stock price has increased in the last five years, compared to around 1,000 per cent gain in bitcoin and the 1,500 per cent jump for chipmaker and stock market darling Nvidia during that same period. The company's success has boosted the profile of MicroStrategy's founder and chairman, Michael Saylor, who has visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the White House while becoming bitcoin's enigmatic high priest. Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy, Saylor said in a social media post. Saylor's success has also spawned many imitators. It's kind of shocking that it took someone four years after Michael Saylor started doing it to finally do it and pull the trigger and now it feels like everyone's pulling the trigger, said Eric Semler, the chairman of Semler Scientific, a healthcare company that started acquiring bitcoin last year. USD 90,000 That's the average purchase price of bitcoin for half of the 61 publicly traded bitcoin strategy companies, excluding bitcoin mining companies and bitcoin exchange-traded funds, according to a recent analysis by Standard Chartered. Geoff Kendrick, the bank's head of digital assets research, said in the report that restrictions on investors buying bitcoin directly help explain the popularity of bitcoin treasury companies, as their stocks can serve as bitcoin proxies. But as crypto becomes more mainstream, the case for investing in bitcoin treasury companies becomes weaker, Kendrick said. He added that bitcoin's volatility could force some newer bitcoin treasury companies to sell their holdings to satisfy their debts if it falls under the purchase price. The question then becomes, how much pain can companies withstand before being forced to sell their BTC? Kendrick said, referring to the symbol for bitcoin. Triple digits That's how much of a one-day percentage increase in stock prices firms have seen after recently announcing plans to hold other types of cryptocurrencies as corporate treasuries, highlighting how the appetite for such companies extends beyond bitcoin. SharpLink Gaming, a gambling marketing firm, saw its share price increase by more than 400 per cent after it announced plans to buy up to USD 425 million in Ethereum, the second most popular form of cryptocurrency. And crypto firm Upexi saw its stock price soar more than 300 per cent after it announced plans to buy USD 100 million of Solana, a cryptocurrency popular in the meme coin ecosystem.
