Grant Cardone Says He’ll Keep Buying Bitcoin With Real Estate Cash Flows
While most crypto investors are watching the charts nervously, Grant Cardone is treating the dip like an invitation. The Cardone Capital CEO took to X this week to reaffirm that his firm will keep buying Bitcoin with real estate cash flow, regardless of where the price lands.
“We work to improve the cash flow of the real estate and buy more bitcoin as it falls,” Cardone wrote, framing the week’s 4.7% Bitcoin pullback not as a warning sign, but as a buying opportunity. Bitcoin has been trading around $59,390 after dipping below the $60,000 mark, rattled by a broader tech-stock selloff and steady outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
What makes Cardone’s approach different is the funding source. Instead of issuing stock or piling on debt, the playbook made famous by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Cardone insists his model runs purely on rental income from real, cash-flowing property. He calls it a hybrid structure “inspired by treasury companies but with real assets and real cash flow,” and claims Cardone Capital is now the largest real estate-Bitcoin hybrid in the world, free from institutional investor pressure.
The timing of his comments isn’t accidental. Strategy’s stock has been trading below the actual value of its Bitcoin holdings this week, with analysts at CryptoQuant warning the company may have overextended itself and should pause further purchases. Cardone is using that moment to push his alternative pitch: buying Bitcoin with real estate cash flow sidesteps the capital-markets squeeze that’s currently rattling stock-funded crypto treasuries.
Cardone Capital, which manages roughly $5.3 billion in assets including thousands of residential units and Class A office buildings, reportedly held around $200 million in Bitcoin as of May. That stash traces back to an initial 1,000-coin purchase in 2025, built up steadily through dollar-cost averaging, buying at fixed intervals no matter what the price is doing. Cardone has projected returns of between 22% and 32% for the strategy, though it’s worth noting that figure remains his own forecast rather than a proven track record.
Whether this real estate-funded approach holds up better than stock-backed treasury models during a prolonged downturn is still an open question. But for now, Cardone is leaning hard into the narrative that rental checks, not Wall Street financing, are the steadier way to keep stacking Bitcoin through volatility.
