(CoinDesk)SummaryShow- Grant Cardone is leveraging the recent decline in bitcoin prices to advocate for Cardone Capital's hybrid investment model, which utilizes rental property cash flows to consistently buy bitcoin.
- He differentiates this method from corporate bitcoin treasury strategies that depend on stock or debt issuance, asserting that his real estate approach mitigates capital market pressures and institutional interference.
- As of May, Cardone Capital held approximately $200 million in bitcoin and manages thousands of residential and Class A office properties, projecting returns between 22% and 32%.
Grant Cardone, who leads Cardone Capital, reiterated his bitcoin-and-real-estate investment strategy in light of recent cryptocurrency price drops, emphasizing that the structure allows for continued purchases as prices decline.
"We focus on enhancing the cash flow from our real estate and acquiring more bitcoin as its price decreases," Cardone stated in a post on X.
With around $5.3 billion in assets under management, Cardone Capital employs income from its real estate holdings to purchase bitcoin BTC$60,156.76 regularly, irrespective of market price, a strategy known as dollar-cost averaging. The leading cryptocurrency has experienced a 4.7% decline this week.
Cardone described the model as "inspired by treasury companies but based on tangible assets and real cash flow," positioning his firm as the largest real estate-bitcoin hybrid globally, free from institutional investor influence on its strategy.
I’ve consistently advocated for integrating BTC with real assets and leveraging cash flow from those assets to dollar-cost average into BTC amid its volatility. We aim to enhance the cash flow of the real estate and buy more BTC as it falls.

Cardone Capital BTC hybrid was inspired by…
His remarks contrast with the corporate bitcoin treasury model popularized by Strategy (MSTR), where companies fund bitcoin purchases through stock or debt issuance.
This strategy has faced challenges recently, as Strategy's stock trades below the value of its bitcoin holdings, with analysts from CryptoQuant suggesting the firm has overextended itself.
Cardone argues that relying on rental income rather than capital markets for purchasing bitcoin removes the necessity of selling equity or incurring debt.
The timing of his assertions is significant, given that bitcoin recently fell below $60,000 amid a sell-off in tech stocks and withdrawals from U.S. bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
As of May, Cardone Capital held around $200 million in bitcoin, stemming from a 1,000-coin acquisition in 2025 and subsequent purchases, alongside a portfolio of residential and Class A office properties.
Cardone anticipates returns from the hybrid structure to be between 22% and 32%, a projection that remains speculative rather than a confirmed performance record.
