Cardone announced the move on X, writing: “CardoneCapital adds another 130 BTC on pullback.”
Building a Bitcoin and Real Estate Hybrid
The latest buy builds on a larger strategy Cardone outlined at the 2026 Consensus conference in Miami earlier this month.
At the event, he revealed that the firm had added $100 million worth of Bitcoin to a deal that also included $235 million in real estate. Both assets were placed inside the same LLC structure.
Cardone described the model as fusing digital assets with cash-flow-generating properties. He said the combination could produce returns of between 22% and 32%.
He also pointed out that traditional real estate investment trusts cannot hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. That gives his structure a legal and structural advantage, he argued.
Who Is Investing in This Fund
Cardone said around 80% of people who invested in the fund before this move had no direct Bitcoin exposure at all.
That means the strategy is introducing Bitcoin to a group of investors who would not otherwise hold it.
Cardone Capital is a private real estate equity firm with around $5.3 billion in assets. It is not a crypto-native company, which makes its repeated Bitcoin purchases stand out.
Previous Bitcoin Buys
This is not the first time Cardone Capital has added Bitcoin. In 2025, the firm purchased 1,000 BTC at a cost of over $100 million at the time.
The 130 BTC bought this week continues a pattern of buying during price pullbacks rather than chasing rallies.
Cardone has said publicly that he sees Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.
He also recently attended a Mar-a-Lago event hosted for Trump Coin holders, and posted on X that Trump would push to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.
Cardone has also previously said he plans to tokenize portions of the real estate Cardone Capital owns. The goal is to improve liquidity in secondary markets and make collateral easier to access.
However, at Consensus he clarified he is “not putting real estate on the blockchain,” drawing a line between tokenization plans and the current Bitcoin strategy.
The firm’s most recent purchase of 130 BTC brings its total holdings to a level that reflects a sustained, long-term accumulation strategy rather than a one-time bet.
