## Resource

Real estate mogul Grant Cardone made his Consensus mainstage debut to explain the unconventional investment strategy he's been building for the past 17 months: fusing Bitcoin directly into large-scale real estate deals to outcompete traditional REITs. Cardone, who first received Bitcoin as payment for a speaking gig and still holds those 115 coins today, argues the hybrid model can deliver 22–32% returns by combining the stability of cash-flowing properties with the upside of Bitcoin. He also shared why he believes this structure could disrupt the entire $4 trillion REIT industry. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Grant Cardone at Consensus Miami 2026 00:40 - How Grant First Discovered Bitcoin 02:02 - Real Estate Bitcoin Hybrid Strategy 05:45 - Why Real Estate Beats Other Asset Classes 08:03 - Disrupting The REIT Industry 14:22 - Going Public And Bypassing The Banks 16:57 - Final Advice: Get Fiat, Build Wealth
