Kiyosaki: Bitcoin Beats Gold Due to Finite Supply Design

In his latest public commentary, Robert Kiyosaki distilled his investment thesis into a clear comparison. While he advocates for a diversified portfolio including gold, silver, and Bitcoin, his forced choice falls decisively on the digital asset. The core of his reasoning, as reported by CryptoPotato, is supply dynamics. Gold, while physically scarce, is theoretically infinite; as its price rises, mining becomes more economically viable, incentivizing increased production and potentially adding more bullion to circulation.

Bitcoin, in stark contrast, is governed by an unchangeable protocol. Its total supply is algorithmically capped at 21 million coins. With a current circulating supply of approximately 19.98 million, the network is less than 2 million Bitcoin away from its absolute limit. This engineered scarcity, which Kiyosaki called a ‘brilliant strategy,’ is designed to create a deflationary pressure that, in theory, should propel value upward over the long term as new coin issuance ceases. ‘Glad I bought my Bitcoin early,’ Kiyosaki stated, even as he noted continued activity in traditional resources: ‘I am still actively mining for gold and drilling for oil.’

Kiyosaki’s consistent public advocacy for Bitcoin, however, is undercut by a series of inconsistent statements regarding his personal transactions. As detailed in the source report, these contradictions create a credibility gap for followers. Last week, he faced backlash for making conflicting claims about buying Bitcoin. He has posted numerous times about purchasing BTC, even suggesting activity as the asset’s value surged above $105,000 in mid-2025.

Yet, just a few weeks prior, he revealed he had stopped buying Bitcoin at the $6,000 price point—a level last seen in mid-2020 following the COVID-19 market crash. This timeline discrepancy raises immediate questions. Furthermore, on November 15, 2025, he publicly declared he would not sell his Bitcoin, even during market downturns, and would continue buying. The narrative shifted dramatically a week later when he disclosed selling the stash he acquired at $6,000 for a total of $2.25 million.

The serial entrepreneur explained the sale was strategic, allocating the proceeds to acquire two surgery centers and invest in a billboard business to increase his cash flow. This pragmatic move highlights a divergence between his long-term bullish rhetoric and short-term, liquidity-driven actions. His latest tweet expressing gladness for buying Bitcoin ‘early’ further muddies the waters, leaving it unclear which purchase—or sale—he is referencing.

For investors, the Kiyosaki case presents a classic dilemma: separating compelling macroeconomic theory from the messenger’s personal track record. His core argument about Bitcoin’s finite supply versus gold’s elastic supply is a legitimate and widely debated point within financial and cryptocurrency circles. The digital asset’s fixed cap is a foundational feature that attracts many proponents seeking a hedge against inflationary monetary policies.

However, Kiyosaki’s own investment pattern, as documented, suggests his relationship with Bitcoin is more tactical than the ‘hold forever’ narrative he often promotes. The sale of a significant portion of his holdings for traditional business investments indicates a view of cryptocurrency as one asset among many in a wealth-building strategy, not necessarily the singular, paramount holding his public statements sometimes imply. This duality serves as a critical reminder for any investor: public commentary from financial personalities should be scrutinized alongside their disclosed actions, as the two may not always align. The ultimate lesson may be less about choosing between Bitcoin and gold, and more about understanding that even the most vocal advocates navigate complex, personal financial landscapes.
