Grant Cardone, the real estate investor and founder of Cardone Capital, has added another $100 million in Bitcoin to a $235 million property deal. He made the announcement at Consensus Miami 2026.

The move builds on a 2025 purchase where Cardone Capital bought 1,000 Bitcoin, valued at just over $100 million at the time. The firm’s total Bitcoin exposure now stands at around $200 million.

Cardone structured the investment by placing both a real estate asset and Bitcoin inside a single LLC. He described it as fusing two asset classes into one investment vehicle.

Why Cardone Says REITs Can’t Compete

He argues this gives his LLC-based model a clear advantage. By pairing stable rental income with Bitcoin’s price potential, he says the combined structure outperforms conventional real estate vehicles.

Bringing New Investors Into Bitcoin

Cardone said most investors in the fund are new to crypto. He noted that 80% of people who invested had never owned Bitcoin before.

He sees this as a way to bring retail investors into the asset class through a familiar vehicle — real estate. The structure uses real estate income as a stable base while offering Bitcoin upside.

In February 2026, Cardone posted on X that Cardone Capital had plans to tokenize its holdings. He said the goal was to give investors collateral and liquidity in secondary markets.

At the time, he also said the firm aimed to become a market leader in asset tokenization at scale.

At Consensus, Cardone did not walk back those plans, but focused his remarks on the hybrid LLC model and its competitive edge over existing real estate structures.

Cardone Capital’s current Bitcoin holdings of roughly $200 million represent one of the larger crypto treasury positions held by a private real estate firm.
