Robert Kiyosaki says the biggest stock market crash in history is imminent and outlines his strategy

On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," reiterated his long-standing forecast that the largest stock market crash in history is now "imminent." Referring back to his 2013 book "Rich Dad's Prophecy," he said he expects the next major downturn to be the worst ever and disclosed he holds gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH) and plans to buy more during a collapse. While his warnings align with the market turbulence of early 2026, observers have questioned the consistency of his statements about his own investments, even as his preferred assets have performed strongly in recent years.
