Kiyosaki Warns of Inflation Crisis, Lists 6 Safest Investments for 2026

Author and investor Robert Kiyosaki has outlined what he believes are the safest assets for 2026, citing rising debt and geopolitical tensions. His latest comments focus on long-term macro risks rather than short-term market movements. The list includes both traditional commodities and cryptocurrencies.

Kiyosaki points to inflation and debt as key drivers

Kiyosaki argues that government debt and money printing will continue to push inflation higher, eroding the value of fiat savings. He warned that traditional financial advice centered around saving cash and investing in diversified portfolios may no longer be effective in the current environment.

As he explained in an X post on March 30:

“The National Debt will only go up because governments will only keep printing fake money. That means inflation will keep going up which means savers of dollars keep losing.”

He also pointed to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, as a structural factor likely to keep energy prices elevated. According to Kiyosaki, higher oil prices could further reinforce inflationary pressures globally.

“The war in Iran is a HOLY WAR, Christians and Jews against Muslims. That wall will never end, which means the price of oil will only go up, causing more inflation.”

In that context, the ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author dismissed U.S. bonds as safe assets, calling that belief “the biggest lie” in today’s financial system.

Bitcoin and hard assets top his 2026 list

Against that backdrop, Kiyosaki named six assets he considers the safest for the year ahead: gold, silver, oil, food, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH).

“For most of my life, I knew if something could be printed, it was fake. BEST Safe INVESTMENTS: That means real gold, real silver, oil, food, Bitcoin, and Ethereum are for me, the safest investments for 2026.”

His thesis centers on scarcity and real-world utility. Physical commodities like gold and silver have historically served as inflation hedges, while oil and food are tied directly to global supply chains and demand.

On the digital side, Kiyosaki continues to support cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum, as alternatives to fiat-based systems. He has repeatedly argued that assets with limited supply or decentralized structures are better positioned in an environment of monetary expansion.

Earlier in March, he shared a prediction that Bitcoin could reach $750,000 in the aftermath of a potential major market crash that he believes is approaching, in addition to outlining aggressive price targets for gold, silver, and Ethereum as well.

More broadly, Kiyosaki emphasized financial self-reliance, arguing that education and individual decision-making matter more than institutional guidance.

“Please do not believe me. What is real to you.”

Though his views remain controversial, they reflect a growing narrative among investors who are increasingly questioning traditional portfolio strategies in a high-debt, inflation-sensitive global economy.
