Cardone Capital Expands Bitcoin Investment with Acquisition of 130 BTC – Aiming for 4,000 Coins by Year-End

Cardone Capital has increased its Bitcoin holdings by an additional 130 coins, furthering its approach of linking digital assets directly to real estate investments.

This action was part of a refinancing effort for the firm’s Miami River property, where the company chose to raise equity to reduce debt rather than acquiring interest rate caps. Cardone Capital reported that the Fannie Mae debt for the project was secured at a rate of 4.89%.

This acquisition represents the fourth instance in which the real estate private equity firm has incorporated Bitcoin into its investment strategy. Chief Executive Grant Cardone confirmed that eight additional deals with a similar framework are currently in progress, suggesting a wider initiative to incorporate cryptocurrency into conventional real estate financing.

This recent transaction follows Cardone Capital’s notable announcement in June, when it disclosed the acquisition of 1,000 Bitcoin valued at just over $101 million at market rates.

At that time, Cardone proclaimed the firm as the “first ever real estate/Bitcoin company integrated with a full BTC strategy,” framing the initiative as a means to merge two long-term assets: multifamily housing and Bitcoin.

The company also expressed its goal to grow its Bitcoin treasury to 4,000 BTC this year, a target that would position it among the largest non-mining corporate holders of the asset.

Established in 2017, Cardone Capital oversees more than 14,000 multifamily units throughout the United States, with an estimated $5.1 billion in assets under management. The firm aggregates capital from both accredited and non-accredited investors to acquire large-scale residential properties.

The company’s shift towards Bitcoin has been accompanied by the introduction of the 10X Miami River Bitcoin Fund in May, a dual-asset vehicle supported by a 346-unit property on the Miami River and $15 million in Bitcoin.

Cardone has positioned this initiative as a safeguard against inflation and an alternative to conventional treasury management, asserting that Bitcoin provides a distinctive store of value when combined with income-generating real estate.

This strategy has garnered attention from various sectors within the crypto and business communities. MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, whose firm holds over 226,000 BTC, publicly commended Cardone earlier this year for integrating the digital asset into the real estate sector.

With eight additional Bitcoin-linked real estate transactions in progress, Cardone Capital is establishing itself as a leader in merging digital assets with tangible assets.

Global Bitcoin Treasuries Increase to 3.68M BTC Across 294 Entities

The competition for corporate Bitcoin treasuries is intensifying, with Japan’s Metaplanet adding 775 BTC to its reserves, raising its total holdings to 18,888 BTC, valued at approximately $2.18 billion.

A filing on Monday confirmed the acquisition, which was valued at 114.3 billion yen ($775 million), solidifying Metaplanet’s status as Japan’s foremost corporate Bitcoin holder.

The company acquired the coins at an average price of roughly $120,000 each, although Bitcoin was trading closer to $115,600 at the time of the announcement.

Metaplanet began its proactive accumulation last year, taking inspiration from U.S. software firm MicroStrategy, which was a pioneer in utilizing Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. This strategy has quickly propelled the Tokyo-listed company into the upper echelon of corporate holders.

Other Japanese companies are now following suit. Lib Work, a 3D housing manufacturer listed on the TSE Growth exchange, announced intentions to purchase ¥500 million ($3.3 million) worth of Bitcoin between September and December 2025 as both a hedge against inflation and a means for international expansion.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy has further extended its lead. The Virginia-based company revealed a recent acquisition of 430 BTC for $51.4 million between August 11 and 17, at an average price of $119,666. This brings its total holdings to 629,376 BTC, valued at nearly $72 billion, with management noting a 25% year-to-date yield from its Bitcoin assets.

Governments are also becoming involved. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Washington would establish a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” from confiscated assets rather than through direct purchases, estimating current holdings at $15–20 billion.

His comments softened previous denials and reinforced President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “Bitcoin superpower of the world.”

Bitcoin itself has retreated from its record highs, dropping below $116,000 after last week’s peak of $124,500. On-chain data indicates that short-term holders have been selling coins at a loss, reflecting past correction patterns that may either precede deeper declines or pave the way for renewed rallies.

According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, 294 entities currently hold a total of 3.68 million BTC, representing about 18% of the circulating supply.

Public companies and ETFs are predominant, but governments and custodians are emerging as significant players, highlighting Bitcoin’s increasing role as a strategic reserve asset globally.
