Grant Cardone's Cardone Capital fund surpasses 2,700 BTC and targets 3,000 BTC

Real estate investor Grant Cardone announced via X that Cardone Capital is buying Bitcoin at an initial price of $59,000, and the total amount of Bitcoin the company now holds is believed to have exceeded 2,700 BTC.

Accumulating Bitcoin through cash flow as a differentiating factor.

Cardone has consistently made a clear distinction between his hybrid model and the corporate Bitcoin management approach popularized by Strategy, where companies raise capital by issuing stock or debt to purchase Bitcoin. "We strive to improve the cash flow of real estate and buy more BTC when prices fall," Cardone stated in a recent post coinciding with this week's sharp cryptocurrency market crash, viewing the purchase of Bitcoin using rental income as a structural advantage, helping to avoid pressure from capital markets and the increasingly common reliance on diluted financing with leveraged corporate Bitcoin management vehicles.

This difference becomes even more significant as Strategy faces scrutiny from analysts. CryptoQuant analysts argued that the company had over-expanded amid a stock price trading below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, a move that prompted Strategy to formalize its Bitcoin Earnings Program and rebuild its cash reserves to serve its preferred dividend obligations. Cardone's proposal places rental income, rather than equity dilution or debt repayment, as the funding mechanism, eliminating any structural need to sell shares, issue new securities, or liquidate Bitcoin holdings to maintain operations—a stark contrast that comes at a time when competing treasury management models are facing the most intense structural capital challenges of this cycle.

Targets of 3,000 and 10,000 BTC

Cardone has publicly committed to achieving specific accumulation milestones, placing the announcement of its current 2,700 BTC within the context of a longer-term roadmap. The company aims to reach 3,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and eventually aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC through various investment channels in the long term. In March 2026, Cardone stated that he had accumulated 2,000 BTC in just eleven months and believed he would reach his 10,000 BTC goal by the end of that year, with each new fund contributing between 500 and 1,000 coins.

Aiming for over 2,700 BTC by the end of June shows the company is on a reliable growth trajectory toward its 3,000 BTC target by the end of the year, with the $59,000 buy point representing opportunistic accumulation during a price dip, which Cardone says will determine whether the company achieves its target sooner or later depending on market conditions throughout the remainder of 2026.

The combination of Real Estate and Bitcoin through LLC

Cardone's core strategy is to combine income-generating real estate and Bitcoin within a unified limited liability company (LLC) structure, rather than maintaining separate investment vehicles. "I have two properties that we've just combined into one LLC," Cardone explains, describing a method where rental income is periodically converted into Bitcoin regardless of current market conditions, supported by tax-advantaged depreciation, allowing for consistent capital allocation without having to sell assets to finance purchases.

Cardone emphasized that this structure offers a legal advantage that traditional real estate investment funds lack, which are subject to statutory requirements to distribute more than 90% of taxable income as dividends and are prohibited from holding cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets. "These companies are never, absolutely never allowed to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets," Cardone stated, positioning its LLC-based private fund structure as structurally superior to rival REITs like Blackstone, Starwood Property Trust, and Avalon for investors seeking a combination of real estate and Bitcoin in a single vehicle.

It's important to note that Cardone has repeatedly stated that this strategy does not involve tokenizing physical real estate or directly putting assets onto a blockchain platform. He stated, "I'm not putting real estate on the blockchain. All I'm doing is buying a large amount of bitcoin and filling the discount gap" created when properties are purchased below replacement or market price, with the resulting cost discount funding the bitcoin allocation without degrading the underlying economic value of the real estate.

Assessment and Conclusion

Cardone Capital's continued asset accumulation amid a weakening market, coupled with its clear stance against capital market-dependent financial management strategies, has established a meaningful alternative model within the broader realm of Bitcoin-based corporate and institutional financial management. This model is financed through operating cash flow from an income-generating asset class that is uncorrelated with the market, rather than through dilutive stock issuance or debt repayment requiring continuous access to capital markets.

For investors assessing exposure to Bitcoin through different structural approaches, the contrast between Cardone's rental income-funded model and Strategy's capital market-dependent approach provides a useful framework for evaluating structural resilience during periods of Bitcoin price weakness, although Cardone's model is still constrained by the scale of its underlying real estate cash flow compared to Strategy's much larger Bitcoin holdings of 847,363 BTC. This means the two strategies operate at fundamentally different scales despite sharing the same directional belief in Bitcoin's long-term value.
