Grant Cardone Says Commercial Real Estate Faces Historic Crash - Sees Bitcoin As A 'Complementary Asset

Real estate investor Grant Cardone said 5-year borrowing costs are 6.4%, pressuring property values as $1 trillion in commercial loans mature in six months.

• Grant Cardone warned that commercial real estate faces repricing as higher borrowing costs bite.
• Cardone Capital holds 3,000 BTC and targets 25,000 coins alongside 25,000 apartments.
• Cardone said that Bitcoin complements property holdings by adding liquidity and avoiding operational burdens.

Veteran real estate investor Grant Cardone said commercial real estate was heading into "almost Armageddon conditions," and that his answer was to put Bitcoin (BTC) on the balance sheet of every building he buys, what he called a "complementary asset."

"Complete reset across the board of commercial real estate," the Cardone Capital founder said in an interview on Friday. He said his firm owned 16,000 apartments and half a million square feet of office space, and was working through a $600 million transaction that had to be repriced.

Cardone said five-year all-in borrowing costs now sit around 6.4%, capping what any buyer can pay and forcing existing owners to sell below replacement cost. He said a trillion dollars of commercial loans matured within six months, and the institutions holding them would have to unwind much of their property.
