Real estate mogul Grant Cardone thinks he has an answer to what ails the 
crypto treasury industry — pair Bitcoin with rental income. Related Reading: 
US Should Act On Bitcoin, Not Just Praise It, Ex-Advisor To Trump Says His 
fund buys multifamily housing, collects rent, and channels the proceeds into 
additional Bitcoin purchases, giving investors exposure to property 
appreciation alongside the asset&#8217;s price swings. It is a model built for a 
market that no longer rewards passive accumulation. Companies Search For Ways 
To Put Bitcoin To Work That shift in thinking comes as the broader crypto 
treasury sector posts its weakest numbers in well over a year. Monthly inflows 
into digital asset treasury companies have fallen to roughly $555 million, 
according to data from DefiLlama — the lowest reading since October 2024. DAT 
inflows in February slowed to $555M, the lowest level since October 2024 
pic.twitter.com/tJJqju0kXd — DefiLlama.com (@DefiLlama) March 2, 2026 At that 
point, just weeks before the US presidential election, inflows had cratered to 
around $32 million as investors waited out the uncertainty. What followed was 
a historic surge. After US President Donald Trump&#8217;s election victory and a 
sharp turn toward crypto-friendly regulation, monthly inflows rocketed past 
$12 billion. The sector looked unstoppable. It wasn&#8217;t. Inflows pulled back 
through most of 2025, stayed well below $10 billion per month, then dropped 
sharply again heading into 2026. A prolonged bear market has erased much of 
those post-election gains. Reports indicate crypto prices have retraced to 
levels last seen before the 2024 election pump, dragging treasury company 
valuations down with them and drying up fresh capital. The Crypto Warehouse 
Model Loses Its Appeal Patrick Ngan, chief investment officer at Zeta Network 
Group, said the old playbook is no longer enough. Companies that simply buy 
and hold Bitcoin — warehousing the asset with no active strategy — are at risk 
of being left behind. Those with real operating businesses generating cash 
flow will have an edge, he said. &#8220;Corporate Bitcoin treasuries now need to 
show they can actually use the asset, not just warehouse it,&#8221; Ngan said. The 
options for doing so are expanding. Treasury companies can stake crypto assets 
to earn rewards on proof-of-stake networks, run mining operations on proof-of- 
work chains, or put capital to work through decentralized lending platforms. 
Each approach turns a static balance sheet into something that generates 
returns independent of price movement. Related Reading: Iran’s Crypto Market 
Shaken As Outflows Skyrocket 700% A New Blueprint Takes Shape Cardone&#8217;s hybrid 
model pushes that idea further. By anchoring a fund in physical real estate — 
an asset with built-in rental demand — he sidesteps the problem of relying 
entirely on Bitcoin appreciation. Tax advantages tied to real estate ownership 
sweeten the returns further. Featured image from Pexels, chart from
