Cardone Capital said it purchased another 130 BTC, which the source says was worth about $9.5 million at current prices, adding to a broader strategy that combines Bitcoin and real estate in one LLC structure. At the 2026 Consensus conference in Miami, founder and CEO Grant Cardone said around 80% of investors in one of the firm’s funds had no Bitcoin exposure before the strategy shift. He also said the company had already allocated $100 million to Bitcoin as part of a larger transaction that included $235 million in property, with real estate providing cash flow alongside the BTC position. The report says this followed a 2025 acquisition of 1,000 BTC valued at more than $100 million at the time. Cardone said the model could generate returns of 22% to 32% and argued traditional REITs cannot replicate it because they cannot hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. The source also notes a discrepancy between Cardone’s statement that he is not putting real estate on a blockchain and an earlier February announcement that portions of Cardone Capital’s real estate would be tokenized.
