Bitcoin steadies as Kiyosaki flags crash, buys the dip

Kiyosaki is buying more Bitcoin during the price decline, here’s why

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, remains bullish on Bitcoin  BTC +0.00% and says he is buying more as prices fall, according to Coinpedia. He frames market downturns as opportunities to accumulate scarce assets at discounted levels.

He has linked his current stance to long-standing crash warnings and references to his 2013 work, Rich Dad’s Prophecy, as reported by Financial Express. The messaging is consistent: prepare for turbulence and treat volatility as a strategic entry point rather than a deterrent.

Why it matters: crash warning, dip-buying, and investor impact

Kiyosaki’s crash narrative, coupled with dip-buying rhetoric, can influence retail sentiment during periods of drawdown. The approach emphasizes accumulation through volatility instead of attempting to time exact bottoms, which may not suit all risk profiles.

Providing context before his own words, NDTV Profit reported that he reiterated plans to buy amid weakness while warning about the broader market outlook. “the crash he had warned about is now ‘imminent’.”

Institutional context: Standard Chartered and MicroStrategy

Standard Chartered’s cautious stance and ETF flow signals

MarketWatch reported that Standard Chartered’s digital-assets team trimmed near‑term Bitcoin expectations, citing weaker momentum and softer net ETF inflows. The bank nevertheless maintained a constructive longer‑term view that leans on institutional adoption over time. Together, these signals suggest ETF flows remain a key barometer of demand during stress.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin exposure, strategy, and downside risks

According to Yahoo Scout, MicroStrategy continues to leverage its Bitcoin exposure and has used measures such as converting debt to equity amid volatility. The high sensitivity of its corporate profile to Bitcoin prices increases the risk of financial strain if the asset declines further.

At the time of this writing, MSTR closed at 133.88 (+8.85%) on February 13 before trading at 129.50 (−3.27%) pre‑market; its 52‑week range spans 104.17 to 457.22. The figures indicate elevated volatility that can amplify balance‑sheet swings when Bitcoin weakens.
