The Bitcoin + Real Estate Hybrid That's Destroying REITs | Grant Cardone

5/27/20261 hr 13 min

In this episode, I sit down for the third time with the legendary Grant Cardone — real estate mogul, founder of Cardone Capital, and creator of the 10X movement — and this one is the most raw and strategic conversation we've ever had. Grant breaks down his brand-new Real Estate + Bitcoin hybrid fund model, explaining exactly why he's fusing institutional-quality multifamily properties with Bitcoin on the same balance sheet, and why REITs — despite managing hundreds of billions — simply cannot replicate what he's doing. We also get into the origin story of the 10X Growth Conference, why he's shutting it down and pivoting to a wealth management model to compete with Charles Schwab and Merrill Lynch, how his Cardone Foundation is giving inner-city kids access to entrepreneurial education, and why he believes most people should never flip homes. Grant also opens up about the personal and legal challenges that come with scaling at his level, how partnerships protect you, and what the coming "tidal wave" of distressed real estate will mean for investors who are positioned and patient.
