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.
