Renowned investor Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, predicts Bitcoin could drop to $90,000 in August 2025, citing the “Bitcoin August Curse”—a historical trend of price declines. Far from alarmed, Kiyosaki sees this as a golden opportunity to double his Bitcoin holdings, reinforcing his long-term bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency. As of August 10, 2025, Bitcoin trades at $114,519, down from its July peak of $123,000, per CoinMarketCap data.
Kiyosaki’s strategy hinges on his belief that Bitcoin, alongside gold and silver, serves as a hedge against U.S. economic woes, including a $37 trillion national debt and Federal Reserve mismanagement. “The problem isn’t Bitcoin; it’s the multi-trillion-dollar debt and incompetent PhDs running the Fed,” he tweeted on August 4, 2025. He views the potential dip as a chance to “stack sats” for long-term gains, projecting Bitcoin could hit $1 million by 2030.
Historical data supports the “August Curse,” with Bitcoin posting losses in eight of the past 12 Augusts, averaging an 11.4% drop. Recent market volatility, including a $1 billion liquidation after a weak U.S. jobs report, fuels speculation of further declines. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes also predicts a dip to $100,000, citing macroeconomic pressures.
Despite short-term bearish sentiment, Kiyosaki’s confidence aligns with growing institutional adoption, like Bitcoin’s integration into 401(k) plans. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has rebounded to “Greed,” signaling optimism. Kiyosaki’s bold move underscores Bitcoin’s enduring appeal as a store of value amid economic uncertainty.
