Bitcoin has experienced quite a tumultuous phase recently. Following the election of President Donald Trump, the cryptocurrency soared above $100,000 in December, driven by hopes for pro-crypto policies.
However, when Trump revealed plans to implement substantial tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, Bitcoin’s value fell below $91,000, marking its lowest point in three weeks. Fortunately, this downturn was short-lived as Bitcoin soon made a recovery.
Grant Cardone, a real estate investor and private-equity fund manager, remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. “I foresee Bitcoin reaching $250,000 this year, and I believe it could hit a million dollars by 2030,” he stated to GOBankingRates.

His optimism stems from the current administration’s supportive approach towards cryptocurrency. “Donald Trump is pro-crypto, Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, is also supportive,” Cardone remarked. “Everyone in the administration is asking, why not embrace a new digital currency? It’s been around for 15 years and proven its worth.”
However, Cardone emphasizes that Bitcoin may not be suitable for every investor. He follows three key criteria when making investment choices: safeguarding his capital, creating cash flow, and ensuring long-term value appreciation.

“The top priority for me is not to lose my money,” he explained to GOBankingRates. “Secondly, will I generate cash flow? Ideally, I’d like a scenario where I not only avoid losses and earn cash flow but also see continued growth in value over time.”
Since Bitcoin doesn’t fulfill all these criteria, he doesn’t advise it as a direct investment for most individuals. “I’m not encouraging people to rush out and buy Bitcoin,” Cardone said. “I believe the majority of people should steer clear because it doesn’t yield cash flow and lacks tax benefits.”
Instead, he has launched the 10X Space Coast Bitcoin Fund, an $87.5 million initiative that merges real estate investments with Bitcoin acquisitions. “I devised a method for folks to genuinely own Bitcoin without purchasing it directly,” he clarified. “We’re leveraging real estate cash flow, which is stable and offers excellent tax deductions.”

Next, we’re incorporating Bitcoin, known for its unpredictability and high volatility. It could drastically surge or drop in value. However, if you can hold onto it over the long haul and combine the two, you can transform a real estate project expected to yield 10% into one that may achieve returns of 30%, 40%, or even 50% annually.”
The fund’s strategy emphasizes acquiring multifamily properties that generate steady cash flow while progressively investing in Bitcoin over a four-year span. The goal is to balance the volatility of Bitcoin with the steady nature of real estate.
As of February 11, Bitcoin traded around $94,700.84, reflecting a 98.3% increase over the past year. Some analysts indicated to Forbes last month that they expect Bitcoin could reach $150,000 this year, while others speculate it might climb to $250,000, influenced by institutional adoption and regulatory frameworks.
Interest Rates Are Declining, But These Yields Remain Steady
Falling interest rates might mean some investments won’t yield the same returns as in previous months, but you don’t have to forfeit those gains. Certain private market real estate investments are providing retail investors with the chance to take advantage of these high-yield prospects.
