2025 Key Milestone: Hybrid Model Takes Shape

Cardone Capital announced at the end of June this year that it is transforming into a real estate company that incorporates Bitcoin into its balance sheet, aiming to hold 4,000 BTC and 5,000 residential units by the end of the year. (According to his response during the interview, the company already has 3,000 Bitcoins)

Compared to the “concentrated buying” approach adopted by Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor, Cardone is pursuing a “hybrid approach.” He claims to continuously invest cash flows from managing properties, such as rental income and depreciation expenses, into purchasing BTC, hoping to capture Bitcoin’s high growth while maintaining real estate stability.

Cardone has publicly stated:

“If real estate helps me buy Bitcoin, and I can package this whole thing for an IPO, how amazing would that be?”

With the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly regulations starting in 2025, Cardone’s business model is already operational. Although the claim of being the “largest in the world” by 2026 remains unverified, he is building a cash moat for Bitcoin using real estate rental income, providing a new script for corporate asset allocation.
