Cardone Capital added roughly 1,200 BTC and about 2,000 multifamily units to its real estate-Bitcoin strategy, funding the purchases with rental income. The $5.3 billion firm now targets 10,000 BTC across ten funds and projects annualized returns of 22% to 32%.
Cardone Capital has added roughly 1,200 BTC and about 2,000 multifamily units to its real estate-Bitcoin strategy. The $5.3 billion private equity firm uses rental cash flow to support regular Bitcoin purchases.
Grant Cardone has promoted the model as an alternative to traditional real estate funds and corporate Bitcoin treasury companies. The firm had already built a large position before this purchase, holding about $200 million in Bitcoin as of May after buying 1,000 BTC in 2025.
Rental Income Funds Bitcoin Purchases
Cardone Capital directs part of its rental income toward Bitcoin purchases at regular intervals, following a dollar-cost averaging model that continues in both rising and falling markets. According to Cardone: "We work to improve the cash flow of the real estate and buy more bitcoin" as it falls.
This differs from public Bitcoin treasury companies that often issue stock or debt to fund purchases. Cardone Capital instead relies on income from apartment buildings and other properties, using private fund structures rather than standard REIT rules for added flexibility.
Hybrid Portfolio Targets 10,000 BTC
The latest purchase increases both sides of the firm's real estate and Bitcoin portfolio. Cardone Capital aims to build a system where property income continuously increases Bitcoin exposure over time, and has discussed holding between 15% and 50% of some funds in digital assets.
Grant Cardone has set a broader target of accumulating 10,000 BTC across 10 specialized funds. Investors gain Bitcoin exposure through the fund structure without managing wallets or private keys, as third-party institutional custodians handle storage and execution.
Projected Returns Carry Real Estate and Bitcoin Risks
Cardone has projected annualized returns between 22% and 32% for the hybrid strategy, though these figures remain management projections rather than established performance records. Traditional real estate returns come mainly from rental income, refinancing, and property appreciation, while Bitcoin adds another potential source of asset growth.
A deep Bitcoin decline could reduce fund asset values, and some Cardone Capital vehicles use extended lockups that may limit access to capital before properties are sold or refinanced. The strategy targets accredited investors who meet income or net-worth requirements, making it less liquid than public Bitcoin ETFs or listed REITs.
