Summary ⚈ Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin, gold, and silver picks showed mixed results amid Trump’s 2025 trade war. ⚈ Gold surged 18%, Bitcoin dipped 9.7% but stayed resilient, and silver rose 4.5%. ⚈ Kiyosaki urges investors to buy, claiming the market crash has already begun. Since the onset of the trade war initiated by President Donald Trump on February 1, 2025, Robert Kiyosaki’s recommended investment portfolio, centered on Bitcoin ( BTC ), gold , and silver , has shown mixed results. Notably, the trade war began when President Trump signed executive orders imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports. These measures have rattled both the equities and cryptocurrency markets , influencing the performance of Kiyosaki’s favored assets. It’s worth noting that Kiyosaki, a long-time advocate for alternative assets, has promoted Bitcoin, gold, and silver as hedges against inflation and currency devaluation. Below is how the assets have performed since the trade war began. Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin kicked off February 1, 2025, priced at $104,402. As of press time, the leading digital currency had dropped roughly 9.7% to $94,300. Much of the decline can be traced back to market turbulence sparked by the uncertainty around tariffs.

Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a short-term rebound after signs emerged that U.S.-China trade tensions may be easing. Looking ahead, analysts remain optimistic, projecting that Bitcoin could climb as high as $140,000 to $200,000 before the end of the year. On the same note, Kiyosaki predicts that Bitcoin will likely trade at $1 million by 2035. Gold Gold, meanwhile, has outperformed expectations, surging amid growing market anxiety. After starting at $2,814 on February 3, the precious metal jumped nearly 18% to $3,319 by press time. Gold YTD price chart.

Silver Finally, silver’s rally has been far less dramatic. The metal increased from $31.58 on February 3 to $33, marking a 4.5% gain. Silver YTD price chart.

Kiyosaki’s promotion of silver emphasizes its affordability compared to gold and its potential to benefit from economic uncertainty and industrial demand. Indeed, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author has maintained that the highlighted assets have the potential to protect wealth in the event of a market crisis. To this end, the investor has maintained that his long-predicted market crash has already arrived, calling on investors to take advantage of the opportunity and buy during the dip.
