$5.3B Grant Cardone Buys 1,200 Bitcoin to Fuel Real Estate-BTC Hybrid Model

Cardone Capital has expanded its real estate-Bitcoin strategy with another 1,200 BTC purchase and roughly 2,000 multifamily units. The $5.3 billion private equity firm is using rental cash flow to support regular Bitcoin purchases.

The strategy combines income-producing real estate with direct Bitcoin exposure inside private investment vehicles. Grant Cardone has promoted the model as an alternative to traditional real estate funds and corporate Bitcoin treasury companies.

Cardone Capital had already built a large Bitcoin position before the latest purchase. The firm held about $200 million in Bitcoin as of May after buying 1,000 BTC in 2025.

Cardone Capital Uses Rental Cash Flow to Buy Bitcoin

Cardone Capital directs part of its rental income toward Bitcoin purchases at regular intervals. The approach follows a dollar-cost averaging model, so purchases continue during both rising and falling markets.

Grant Cardone said the firm works to improve property cash flow and then buys more Bitcoin during market weakness.

“We work to improve the cash flow of the real estate and buy more bitcoin as it falls,” he said.

The structure differs from public Bitcoin treasury companies that often issue stock or debt to fund purchases. Cardone Capital instead uses income from apartment buildings and other properties as a recurring source of capital.
