Cardone Capital Buys 888 Bitcoins Worth $84 Million

From Real Estate to Bitcoin

Cardone Capital, the real estate investment empire led by entrepreneur and investor Grant Cardone, has made a decisive move into the digital asset space by purchasing 888 Bitcoins, worth about $84 million.

The acquisition marks one of the largest direct Bitcoin purchases by a U.S. private investment firm in 2025 and underscores the growing trend of non-crypto institutions adding BTC to their balance sheets as a reserve, hedging, and liquidity asset.

Strategic Motivations Behind the Acquisition

Cardone Capital, long known for its multi-billion dollar real estate portfolio across the United States, is widely recognized for its aggressive capital deployment strategies. The Bitcoin purchase signals a diversification move as the firm prepares for a new macroeconomic environment characterized by:

• The US fiscal deficit has remained persistently high,

• Long-term Treasury yields weakened,

• The growing acceptance of Bitcoin by institutions as a “hard digital currency”, and

• Cryptocurrency initiatives impact the future real estate liquidity cycle.

Grant Cardone has been hinting for years that Bitcoin has the potential for asymmetric returns compared to traditional assets. This latest acquisition moves it from rhetoric to reality.

“ Cash is trash, assets are king. Bitcoin is the ultimate digital asset ,”

Cardone has repeatedly stated that on his channels — and this acquisition confirms he's acting on that thesis.

The momentum of organizations continues to increase

The Cardone acquisition adds to the growing list of US institutions holding Bitcoin directly or through ETF instruments.

This trend is driven by:

• Regulatory clarity after ETF approval.

• Improved custody standards.

• Bitcoin's growing role as a non-sovereign digital reserve asset,

• Geopolitical risk hedging activity is on the rise among US organizations.

Analysts estimate that if 5% of US corporate treasury bonds adopt Bitcoin by 2030, capital inflows could exceed $1.2 trillion, pushing Bitcoin to a long-term valuation of $250,000 to $400,000.
