Kiyosaki Says History’s Biggest Crash Has Begun as He Doubles Down on Bitcoin

Since September 15, Robert Kiyosaki claims that “the biggest crash in history” has already started. According to him, the movement started from Europe and Japan before gradually spreading to other markets. In this scenario, bitcoin would be among the assets able to withstand the storm. Some bond indicators give weight to his concern, but the data does not yet show widespread panic.

Japan gives credit to part of his scenario

In July, Robert Kiyosaki was already naming four assets likely, according to him, to withstand the next crash. On September 15, he went further by asserting that the crash announced for years had finally started.

He cites several factors: the “AI frenzy,” the war in Iran, global debt, and the retirement of baby boomers.

On the bond market, some figures are hard to ignore. The Japanese 10-year bond yield reached 3% on September 1, its highest level since 1996. Reuters explains this rise by concerns related to inflation, public finances, and Japanese monetary policy.

Bitcoin.com News reported the same week borrowing costs at decade-highs in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.

The tech sector is also under pressure. Five ECB economists recently considered that a correction of tech valuations was possible. However, this is not enough to talk about a crash.

Bitcoin does not yet confirm panic

If a historic crash were really underway, markets should normally show more signs. Yet, bitcoin currently trades around 80,300 dollars. After hitting a low point on September 16, it has since regained some lost ground.

This development contrasts with the scenario of a widespread collapse. Investors are certainly more cautious due to rising bond yields, but Reuters reported on September 15 that there were no signs of panic on U.S. stocks at that time.

Kiyosaki continues to favor gold, silver, and bitcoin. He also claims to buy bitcoins during corrections. However, a few days of rebound obviously do not invalidate his scenario: they simply show that the announced crash has not yet produced the described effects.

Global debt remains under watch

One of Kiyosaki’s arguments is based on debt. On this point, IMF figures clearly show a tense situation. The April 2026 Fiscal Monitor estimates that global public debt was nearly 94% of GDP in 2025 and could reach 100% by 2029.

But the IMF does not foresee a sudden market collapse. Its analysis rather highlights growing budgetary pressures, high interest charges, and increased vulnerability of bond markets.

The problem thus remains less about the existence of risks than their translation into a true crash. For now, Kiyosaki’s warning is based on real tensions, but his most extreme scenario remains to be demonstrated.
