A Robert Kiyosaki-inspired investment portfolio, built on allocations to gold, silver, and Bitcoin, has surged close to 40% in 2025, reflecting the strength of hard assets in a year marked by global economic uncertainty.

According to market data, gold and silver were the standout performers, each delivering gains above 40% year-to-date, supported by safe-haven demand, central bank buying, and persistent inflationary concerns. Meanwhile, Bitcoin advanced 21%, cementing its role as a digital hedge within the portfolio.

The performance validates the long-term thesis of Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, who has consistently advocated for investing in hard assets over fiat currencies, warning of erosion in the value of paper money.

With traditional equity markets facing volatility and interest rate uncertainties, the portfolio’s outperformance highlights a shift in investor preference towards assets perceived as stores of value. Analysts note that such a strategy, while high in volatility, has proved resilient against macroeconomic headwinds in 2025.
