Overview
- Cardone, speaking Wednesday at Consensus Miami, said he paired a $100 million bitcoin buy with a $235 million real estate deal inside a single LLC.
- The allocation lifts Cardone Capital’s bitcoin exposure to about $200 million, building on a 1,000 BTC purchase in 2025.
- He argues traditional REITs, which own income properties and pay most earnings as dividends, cannot hold bitcoin, so his private structure targets that gap.
- He projects returns of roughly 22% to 32% from the blend of property cash flow and potential bitcoin gains.
- About 80% of investors in the fund had never owned bitcoin, giving them crypto exposure through a familiar real estate vehicle.
