Cardone Capital to Acquire 3,000 BTC, Leading Bitcoin-Backed Real Estate Push
Firm merges real estate and crypto with ambitious $400M Bitcoin treasury plan
Cardone Capital Integrates Bitcoin into Real Estate Strategy
Cardone Capital has made headlines as the first real estate investment firm to adopt a full-scale Bitcoin treasury strategy, acquiring 1,000 BTC as part of its broader portfolio diversification efforts.
- The purchase, valued at approximately $101 million based on current market prices, positions the firm ahead of notable crypto mining companies like Core Scientific and Cipher Mining in BTC holdings.
- CEO Grant Cardone described the move as combining “the two best-in-class assets”, leveraging Bitcoin and real estate in a single investment framework.
Plans for 3,000 BTC Acquisition by 2025
Cardone Capital isn’t stopping at 1,000 Bitcoin:
- The firm has announced intentions to acquire up to 3,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
- At current price levels, this would equate to over $400 million in Bitcoin holdings, propelling Cardone Capital into the ranks of the top institutional BTC holders globally.
The firm currently manages over $5 billion in assets, including more than 14,200 rental units and 500,000 square feet of office space, providing a solid foundation for its Bitcoin-backed strategy.
Bitcoin-Backed Real Estate Already Underway
Momentum for Cardone Capital’s Bitcoin strategy stems from earlier ventures:
- In May 2025, the firm launched the 10X Miami River Bitcoin Fund, integrating a 346-unit apartment complex on the Miami River with $15 million in Bitcoin holdings.
- A portion of rental income from the property is converted into Bitcoin, creating a sustainable, built-in digital asset accumulation mechanism.
Grant Cardone’s interest in blockchain is longstanding:
- In early 2024, Cardone listed his $42 million Golden Beach property on Propy, a blockchain-powered real estate platform.
- The platform uses decentralized title registry and escrow protocols, enabling seamless, secure transactions in both Bitcoin and USD.
- Cardone emphasized that blockchain is revolutionizing real estate, providing transparent, immutable transactions for buyers and sellers.
Broader Institutional Bitcoin Adoption Accelerates
Cardone Capital’s Bitcoin push comes amid a wider trend of institutional BTC adoption:
- Japan’s Metaplanet recently added 1,111 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 11,111 BTC.
- Parataxis Holdings, a New York investment firm, announced plans to acquire South Korea’s Bridge Biotherapeutics for approximately $18 million, converting the biotech firm into Parataxis Korea, a publicly traded Bitcoin-native treasury firm.
- Canadian digital asset firm Universal Digital also confirmed plans to swap its altcoin holdings for Bitcoin, citing confidence in BTC’s long-term potential.
As real estate and digital assets increasingly intersect, Cardone Capital’s Bitcoin strategy may set a precedent for how institutional investors approach wealth preservation and growth in the evolving financial landscape.
