Is U.S. debt approaching a critical point? Robert Kiyosaki pauses buying Bitcoin, gold, and silver

February 6 News, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki stated that he has temporarily stopped buying Bitcoin, gold, and silver. This decision is not due to short-term price fluctuations but stems from concerns about the stability of the U.S. fiscal system. He pointed out that the real risk is not in the market itself but in the ever-expanding national debt structure.

Kiyosaki recently posted on X that the U.S. national debt has risen to approximately $38 trillion. When long-term obligations such as Social Security and Medicare are included, total liabilities could approach $250 trillion. In his view, this scale of hidden liabilities is eroding public trust in the financial system and exposing deep systemic issues. He also criticized the Federal Reserve and policymakers, believing that long-term mismanagement and monetary expansion have worsened structural imbalances.

Although he has long supported Bitcoin and precious metals as hedging tools, he is currently choosing to stay on the sidelines. Kiyosaki said he is waiting for a more ideal price range to re-enter and has set clear targets for different assets. He emphasized that his core logic has always been “to maximize safety margins during the buying phase,” rather than chasing short-term rebounds.

Recent market volatility has also provided context for his cautious stance. Bitcoin experienced a significant correction in a short period, with prices fluctuating violently around $60,000; gold and silver also showed repeated movements. In response, Kiyosaki recalled that he initially accumulated positions at prices far below current levels and now prefers to remain patient, waiting for the next more attractive opportunity.

In an environment of increasing global macro uncertainty, Kiyosaki’s wait-and-see strategy has once again sparked widespread discussion among investors about the outlook for U.S. debt, inflation risks, and the long-term value of digital assets.
