Businessman and investor Robert Kiyosaki, author of the famous book 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', revealed this Monday (13) that he plans to expand his investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, oil, real estate, and even cattle.
The decision comes after a measure by U.S. President Donald Trump, who in August signed an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement accounts to include investments in higher-risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies.
In his profile on X, Kiyosaki commented that banks harm the working class through these 401(k) plans, which are retirement accounts in the United States. In them, workers allocate part of their salaries throughout their professional lives to ensure future resources. Typically, these accounts invest in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, offering few diversification alternatives.
Kiyosaki commented on Trump's decision to allow 401(k) funds to be used for alternative investments, saying that “the good news is that, with this opening, employees, specialists, and individual investors, like me, will have more opportunities to become wealthy and ensure financial security in the future.” For him, allowing these accounts to include a wider range of assets — such as gold, silver, cryptocurrencies, and real estate — should attract a new group of investors and expand the chances for gains and financial stability for a broader audience.
This scenario led Kiyosaki to further expand his investments in these sectors: “This means I am increasing my purchases of gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, oil, cattle, and real estate.”
He advises his followers to carefully study the pros and cons of alternative investments and choose those that align better with their reality. “In this way, you become richer and smarter, rather than simply following the assets that a Wall Street financial planner recommends,” he concluded.
