"I'm Buying Bitcoin Like Crazy" - Grant Cardone

Grant Cardone says he may have found a way to disrupt the $4 trillion real estate industry by combining income-producing real estate with Bitcoin. In this interview recorded live at Consensus 2026, Grant breaks down why the 1965 REIT model is fundamentally broken — companies forced to distribute 90% of their cash with nothing left for capital expenditures — and how his Bitcoin real estate hybrid solves the liquidity problem that's crushing major institutions like Starwood right now. He explains why 80% of his investors have never owned Bitcoin before, how showing them the hybrid model turned them into Bitcoin buyers on their own, and why he believes every major institution will eventually adopt this model. Grant also reveals how he almost lost $12 million in Bitcoin on a plane he sold to Tim Draper, why he thinks Bitcoin should be $150,000 today, and what Michael Saylor said when he saw Grant's first hybrid deal.
