The price of bitcoin has followed a similar pattern as the stock markets so far this year, hitting a 2025 low in early April and then rising to a new high a month-and-a-half later.

As with stocks, bitcoin has been heavily influenced by President Donald Trump’s tariff plans and their potential impact on the global economy — so much so that some experts have questioned whether bitcoin is a winning bet during periods of uncertainty.
But financial author Robert Kiyosaki isn’t among those experts. In fact, in an X post earlier this year, Kiyosaki referred to bitcoin as “the biggest opportunity in history,” adding that the cryptocurrency has made it “easy for everyone to become rich.”
Can Bitcoin Reach $250,000?
“Most of us have heard of FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out,” Kiyosaki wrote in the March 23 post. “Yet the main reason poor people remain poor is due to FOMM: Fear of Making Mistakes … If history is any indicator the FOMM crowd will wait till Bitcoin passed $200k this year and say ‘Bitcoin is too expensive.'”

That hasn’t happened yet, though Kiyosaki previously predicted that bitcoin could reach nearly $250,000 by the end of 2025. For now, its price has settled at around $108,000, good enough for a 15.5% increase year-to-date.
That gain is better than the S&P 500 (up 5.9%), Dow (up 4.4%) and Nasdaq (up 5.7%). Bitcoin investors have also seen much bigger returns over the long term, with the crypto’s price rising more than 1,000% over the past five years.
‘Priceless’ In Two Years
Bitcoin’s robust returns partly explain why Kiyosaki has such a bullish outlook on the asset. In a separate X post, dated May 25, he praised bitcoin for making getting rich “so easy.”
“Why everyone is not buying and holding Bitcoin is beyond me,” Kiyosaki wrote. “Even .01 of a Bitcoin is going to be priceless in two years … and maybe make you very rich.”
