TechFlow News, May 7: According to a CoinDesk report, real estate investor Grant Cardone announced at the Consensus Miami 2026 conference that he has added $100 million worth of bitcoin to a $235 million real estate transaction, raising Cardone Capital’s total bitcoin holdings to approximately $200 million.
Cardone defines this strategy as a “real estate + bitcoin” hybrid investment structure, combining income-generating real estate assets and bitcoin under a single LLC. The expected blended return is projected to be between 22% and 32%, and Cardone believes this model can compete directly with traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs). He noted that traditional REITs are structurally unable to include bitcoin on their balance sheets, and 80% of his fund’s investors had previously held no bitcoin—making this strategy one pathway to onboard new cryptocurrency users into the market.
