Real Estate + Bitcoin Strategy FAQ
Find quick answers to our most common questions.
Grant is buying best‑in‑class real estate below replacement cost and pairing it with Bitcoin to increase potential returns for investors. He targets trophy‑level, institutional‑quality properties and uses positive cash flow from the real estate to purchase Bitcoin on a disciplined, dollar‑cost‑averaging basis. The real estate is the hedge — a hard asset that produces income and can appreciate over time. The Bitcoin is the moonshot — a scarce, volatile digital asset with explosive long‑term upside potential. By combining both, Grant believes investors get the best of both worlds: real assets that generate income and digital assets with massive growth potential.
Bitcoin is purchased at the time of acquisition and continually thereafter using positive cash flow from the real estate through a disciplined, dollar‑cost‑averaging approach. The guiding principle: keep the fund’s overall investment at or below the replacement cost of the property, maintain realistic long‑term value assumptions, and remain cash‑flow positive from operations. Depending on the real estate and market conditions, the Bitcoin allocation within the fund may range between 15% and 50% of the overall investment mix. Over time, this ratio can adjust to support potential liquidity needs for capital improvements, address debt maturities during less favorable market conditions, and, most importantly, seek to enhance overall return potential by leveraging both the stability of the real estate and the growth opportunity of the Bitcoin position.
Bitcoin has had big pullbacks in the past — sometimes over 70% — but over the last 15 years of its existence, there has not been a single period where a long‑term holder who kept their Bitcoin for the full period ended up with a loss. History shows that those who held through downturns eventually came out ahead — though past performance does not guarantee future results. Grant’s strategy is built for the long game. The real estate keeps producing income, covering operations, and serving as a rock‑solid hedge. We will not sell either the real estate or the Bitcoin during a downturn in value. The plan is to hold both assets until market conditions are favorable, with the goal of maximizing potential returns. And here’s the kicker — if, over time, the real estate value merely returns to replacement cost or reaches a reasonable future value, and we decide to sell, the proceeds could fully cover the original investment of the entire fund. In that scenario, the Bitcoin holdings would have been acquired without additional net cost, meaning the short‑term price of Bitcoin would matter far less when your effective cost basis is at or below zero.
Grant will always act in the best interest of investors. Cardone Capital doesn’t participate in upside until investors receive at least an 8% annual return. Now — let’s say we woke up tomorrow and Bitcoin went up 10X. In that kind of scenario, Grant may choose to sell off a portion of the Bitcoin holdings to return investor capital, or potentially borrow against the Bitcoin to return capital while keeping the position intact. In the borrowing scenario, there would generally be no immediate taxable gain because no sale occurred. The decision on when to sell or leverage either Bitcoin or real estate is Grant’s call — and he’ll make it based on what he believes delivers the greatest long‑term benefit for investors.
You could — but you wouldn’t have the real estate: the income, the tax advantages, the long‑term appreciation, or the hedge against Bitcoin’s ups and downs. In this strategy, the real estate is literally paying for the Bitcoin. Why settle for one when you can own both — income‑producing property and an asset with massive upside potential?
You are getting cash flow — but in this fund, that cash flow is redirected into buying Bitcoin instead of being distributed. Grant believes holding cash today is a losing game because the U.S. dollar is being steadily devalued by government overspending and the constant printing of money to cover obligations. Rather than sending cash to investors so it can sit and lose purchasing power, Grant prefers to put that money to work — using the fund’s positive cash flow to accumulate Bitcoin, which he believes has the potential to outperform cash over the long term. This approach follows the same philosophy Grant has used personally — using free cash flow from income‑producing assets to build positions in what he believes can be high‑growth opportunities over time.
Grant’s plan for this property includes the potential to convert units to condominiums and sell them individually when the market is right. That could mean strong profits for investors — while still keeping the Bitcoin holdings in place.
The first goal is to make this fund a home‑run success for investors, residents, and Cardone Capital. The bigger vision: combine all Real Estate + Bitcoin assets and take them public — creating another opportunity for investors to potentially multiply their returns.
Grant Cardone is never satisfied with past success — he’s always looking for ways to make it bigger and better. He’s adding Bitcoin to his real estate strategy after years of research, personal investing, and testing inside his own portfolio. He’s been quietly studying this opportunity, waiting for the right moment to bring it to his investors. Grant believes that time is now — driven by massive government debt, nonstop money printing, a weakening U.S. dollar, growing political support for Bitcoin, and Wall Street and major banks now treating Bitcoin as a legitimate and valuable asset class. In his view, this is the moment to merge the power of institutional‑grade real estate with the long‑term upside of Bitcoin — and position investors to benefit from both.
