Around 80% of investors in one of Cardone Capital’s funds had no Bitcoin exposure before the company began shifting its strategy — a detail founder and CEO Grant Cardone himself revealed at the 2026 Consensus conference in Miami earlier this month.
A Hybrid Model With Big Return ClaimsThe $5.3 billion real estate firm has been quietly reshaping how it invests, folding Bitcoin into property deals under a single LLC structure.

A Strategy Built Over TimeThe purchase is part of a pattern. At the Consensus conference, Cardone disclosed that the company had already put $100 million into Bitcoin as part of a larger transaction that also included $235 million in property.
According to Cardone, the two asset types were brought together in one investment vehicle, with real estate providing cash flow alongside the Bitcoin position.

130 coins added to Cardone Capital holdings.
Smart money accumulates when there’s blood in the streets.
Reports indicate this follows a 2025 acquisition of 1,000 BTC, which was valued at over $100 million at the time. Each subsequent purchase has added to that base while the firm continues expanding its property holdings in parallel.
Beyond the fund strategy, Cardone has been vocal about what he wants to see from Washington. He posted on X that US President Donald Trump should push to make the US the global capital of crypto and suggested using revalued gold reserves to fund Bitcoin purchases at the federal level.
Cardone also recently attended a Trump Coin event at Mar-a-Lago. Whether any of those political positions translate into policy remains to be seen, but his company’s buying activity shows no signs of slowing.
