Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Bitcoin Price Could Reach Rp4.22 Billion If World War III Breaks Out

Robert Kiyosaki, a renowned financial figure and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has again issued a bold prediction amid rising tensions in the Middle East, specifically the US-Israel vs Iran conflict. Kiyosaki says the escalation is a gateway to World War III that would send Bitcoin prices to US$250,000, equivalent to Rp4.22 billion using an assumed exchange rate of Rp16,905 per US dollar. The statement came as the crypto market surged. On Thursday (5 March 2026), Bitcoin hit a new high of US$72,927. He believes the collapse of the traditional financial system in wartime would be a major catalyst for digital assets, driving up Bitcoin’s price. Kiyosaki argues that in an open war involving major powers, fiat money would lose value due to extreme inflation and currency printing to fund the military. He urged followers to move their assets into hard assets. “Gold and silver are God’s money, but Bitcoin is the people’s money. If World War III truly breaks out, the banking system will collapse. Bitcoin is the only lifeboat that will bring your wealth to US$250,000,” Kiyosaki asserted in his latest post. This price prediction is based on a surge in global demand as banking access in conflict zones such as Iran and parts of the Middle East becomes disrupted by the military operation “Operation Epic Fury”. While Kiyosaki’s forecast has sparked optimism among crypto enthusiasts, some Jakarta-based economists warn of high volatility risk. The rupiah’s depreciation to Rp16,905 per US dollar indicates institutional investors still seek protection in the US dollar (the Greenback) besides Bitcoin. By the sixth day of the US-Israel vs Iran conflict, Bitcoin trading volume on Indonesia’s local exchange reportedly rose 40% versus the previous week. Retail investors appear to be influenced by the safe-haven narrative pushed by figures such as Kiyosaki and Michael Saylor. Kiyosaki concluded with a stern warning: “Don’t be a loser who keeps money in the bank when missiles start flying. Buy Bitcoin, gold, and silver before prices become unaffordable.” (H-3)
