Grant Cardone Says Crypto Is A 'Magnet For Degenerate Investing,' Predicts Bitcoin Highs In 2026

Grant Cardone told Consensus attendees he pairs distressed real estate with Bitcoin to create a “real estate–Bitcoin hybrid” that delivers cash flow and crypto upside. He argued real estate cushions Bitcoin volatility and assigned a year-end Bitcoin target of $189,425, calling crypto a “magnet for degenerate investing” but still forecasting significant upside. Cardone cited his investors’ resilience during Bitcoin’s drop from roughly $126,000 to $74,000 and framed the current commercial real estate downturn as a buying opportunity. The remarks could bolster bullish sentiment for BTC while highlighting demand for asset-allocation strategies that blend income-producing real estate with crypto exposure.
