Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has weighed in on a major shift in U.S. retirement investing. His book has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into multiple languages, establishing him as a prominent figure in personal finance.

Kiyosaki cited an executive order titled “Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors,” signed by President Donald Trump in August, directing the Department of Labor and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expand 401(k) access to assets like private equity, real estate, and digital assets. The order aims to offer broader investment options to workers and reduce legal risks for plan fiduciaries.

The famous author praised the decision and tied it directly to his own investment philosophy. On social media platform X this week, he reiterated his long-held disdain for conventional investment products: “As some of you know, I do not invest in mutual funds or ETFs. To me, mutual funds and ETFs are for ‘losers.’” Instead, he celebrated the move as a win for those willing to look beyond Wall Street’s traditional offerings, stating:

Trump’s new XO opens the door for ‘smarter,’ more ‘sophisticated investors’ to add alternative investments such as real estate, private equity and debt, crypto, and precious metals, under a 401k tax umbrella.

He also warned that success requires discipline: “If you are not willing to ‘study’ and do your ‘homework,’ it is best mom and pop investors stick with ‘vanilla’ mutual funds and ETFs.” Kiyosaki concluded by stressing bitcoin’s growing importance in this new environment:

I am happy because Trump’s new XO treats investors like ‘adults’ and makes my gold, silver, and bitcoin more valuable.

The acclaimed author has long argued that BTC is a hedge against inflation and a safeguard against what he believes is the inevitable collapse of fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar. With this executive order, he sees bitcoin moving one step closer to mainstream acceptance as a critical component of retirement portfolios and a powerful tool for protecting wealth in uncertain economic times.
