Key points

• Kiyosaki's Sept. 26 post asked whether bad weather battering America was a coincidence or a warning from a "higher-power" about the country's finances.
• On Sept. 15 he claimed a historic stock and bond market crash had begun in Europe and Japan, citing debt, AI speculation, war in Iran and baby boomer retirements.
• He has predicted panic, bank runs and renewed money printing, and in April described a possible 2026-27 crash that could become a depression.
• In March he projected bitcoin at $750,000 and ethereum at $95,000 one year after a global crash, with gold at $35,000 an ounce and silver at $200.
• The IMF's April Fiscal Monitor put global public debt just under 94% of GDP in 2025, rising to 100% by 2029, while Treasury projected $739 billion of net borrowing for July-September.

Robert Kiyosaki has again raised questions about America's financial future, this time in a Sept. 26 post about bad weather, according to Bitcoin.com News. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author asked followers whether the severe weather hitting parts of the United States was a coincidence or a warning from a "higher-power" about the country's finances. The outlet notes he framed the idea as a question rather than as evidence of an economic event or a fresh forecast.

The remark has brought his wider predictions back into focus. On Sept. 15, Kiyosaki claimed a historic stock and bond market crash had begun, starting in Europe and Japan. He attributed the pressure to debt, speculation around artificial intelligence, war in Iran and the retirement of the baby boom generation. Bitcoin.com News describes those claims as his assessment of market conditions rather than a confirmed global collapse.

His scenario goes beyond falling prices. In April he described a possible 2026-27 crash that could turn into a depression. In the Sept. 15 warning he also predicted that fear could escalate into panic and bank runs, followed by renewed money printing. The outlet stresses that these are proposed stages of a financial breakdown, and that the weather post establishes none of them.

Weather post revives outlook

Government borrowing sits at the centre of his outlook, though rising debt alone does not establish that a banking crisis will follow. The International Monetary Fund said in its April Fiscal Monitor that global public debt reached just under 94% of gross domestic product in 2025, and projected a rise to 100% by 2029, citing growing interest costs and spending pressures. The US Treasury's Aug. 3 estimate projected $739 billion in privately held net marketable borrowing for the July-September quarter.

Kiyosaki expects any policy response to weaken the purchasing power of cash, which underpins his preference for bitcoin, gold and silver. In March he predicted bitcoin could reach $750,000 and ethereum $95,000 one year after a global financial crash, with gold at $35,000 an ounce and silver at $200. The timing is conditional, measured from a hypothetical crash rather than from the date of the predictions.

Those targets show why he can foresee both severe near-term losses and large later gains in the assets he favours. He expects a crisis to damage conventional markets first, then prompt a response that increases demand for alternatives to cash. Bitcoin.com News notes his forecasts do not mean bitcoin, ethereum, gold and silver would rise during every stage of a downturn.

Debt and money printing

Kiyosaki has made earlier crash calls that did not occur on his stated schedule, including predictions for 2016 and February 2025. The outlet says the test of his detailed predictions remains the sequence he has described: a deepening market crisis, pressure on banks, a monetary response, and the asset prices he expects afterwards.
