Real estate tycoon GrantCardone adds $100 million in Bitcoin investment to promote Bitcoin + real estate hybrid strategy

According to CoinDesk, billionaire real estate investor GrantCardone said at the Consensus Miami 2026 event that it has added $100 million in Bitcoin as part of its hybrid strategy of combining Bitcoin with income-based real estate.<br /> Cardone revealed that it had previously purchased 1000 BTC for Cardone Capital in 2025, and its current total Bitcoin exposure is approximately US$200 million. He believes that this model of combining Bitcoin with real estate can challenge traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs). The strategy is not to put real estate assets on the chain, but to incorporate Bitcoin into the real estate investment structure.
