Robert Kiyosaki has moved a chunk of his Bitcoin into businesses that pay him now. Reports have disclosed he sold roughly $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin, cashing out after years of saying he was bullish on the cryptocurrency.
He did not say he was exiting crypto; instead, he described the shift as turning paper gains into steady income.
Taking Profits For Cash Flow
According to his post on X, Kiyosaki said he first bought the coins when Bitcoin traded around $6,000. He sold the recent batch at about $90,000 per coin. He recently predicted that Bitcoin will hit a $250k price tag.
He told followers the proceeds will be used to buy two surgery centers and a billboard advertising business.
The ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author says he expects those businesses to produce about $27,500/month in tax-free income by early next year. That income, he said, will be used to buy more crypto over time.
Market Context And Timing
Bitcoin’s price has been volatile. The coin briefly fell into the low $80,000 range during the same period Kiyosaki made the sale public.
Traders have been watching big names for clues about sentiment. Kiyosaki’s move came as some investors were taking profits and others were buying dips.
His message was simple: turn gains into income now, then use that income to accumulate later.
Reports have disclosed Kiyosaki still expects higher prices over the long run. He has made bullish targets in the past, and he has said he still believes in crypto’s upside.
Yet selling part of a holding while keeping the rest sends two signals at once: confidence in future gains and a preference for predictable cash flow today.
For some investors, that dual message will seem cautious. For others, it looks like smart money management.
Business Details And Tax Notes
Kiyosaki described the new purchases as income vehicles. The claim that the monthly return will be tax-free depends on how those businesses are structured and where they are held.
Tax rules vary by country and by the legal form of the business. That means the “tax-free” outcome he mentioned may not be the same for every buyer or investor.
A Measured Reaction
Some market watchers saw the move as a routine rebalancing. Others took it as a headline that could influence sentiment in the short run.
Whether a sale of this size by a public figure will change the price permanently is unclear. Prices are driven by many factors: macro data, regulatory signals, whale moves, and investor mood.
Kiyosaki did not abandon his bullish stance. He turned a part of his crypto gains into assets that, he says, will pay him regularly and help him buy more crypto later.
