Cardone Capital has unveiled a $102.5 million hybrid fund combining traditional property holdings with cryptocurrency, marking the first such vehicle of its kind as Bitcoin reached $100,000.
The fund has acquired 300 residential units valued at $87.5 million and allocated $15 million to Bitcoin purchases, according to founder Grant Cardone.
The investment strategy involves channeling rental income from the properties to purchase an additional $14 million in Bitcoin over 48 months. After this period, the fund plans to leverage the real estate portfolio with long-term debt to return initial capital to investors.
Grant Cardone, who now claims that he just “changed real estate forever,” said in his post on X that the projected cash flow allocation should reach $30 million within 48 months, assuming 10% cash flow.

However, critics warn of significant risks inherent in the strategy. The fund faces a triple exposure to real estate market fluctuations, interest rate risk, and cryptocurrency volatility. The plan to refinance with long-term debt could prove challenging if interest rates remain elevated or property values decline.
There’s also the fund’s ambitious assumptions about rental income stability during a period of economic uncertainty. The strategy relies heavily on consistent cash flows in a market that’s showing signs of stress in several regions.
The fund’s launch coincides with Bitcoin’s breakthrough to $100,000, a milestone that has drawn renewed attention from institutional investors. According to Cardone, the cryptocurrency holdings are expected to reach $105 million in value by the end of the investment period, according to fund projections, though such estimates remain speculative given Bitcoin’s historical volatility.
