After US President Donald Trump\u2019s election victory and a sharp turn toward crypto-friendly regulation, monthly inflows rocketed past $12 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The sector looked unstoppable.

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.<\/p>\n<h2>The Crypto Warehouse Model Loses Its Appeal<\/h2>\n<p>Patrick Ngan, chief investment officer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/market-data\/stocks\/znb\/company-people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Zeta Network Group<\/a>, said the old playbook is no longer enough. Companies that simply buy and hold Bitcoin \u2014 warehousing the asset with no active strategy \u2014 are at risk of being left behind. Those with real operating businesses generating cash flow will have an edge, he said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Cig5sfzs\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1027\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cCorporate Bitcoin treasuries now need to show they can actually use the asset, not just warehouse it,\u201d Ngan said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Each approach turns a static balance sheet into something that generates returns independent of price movement.<\/p>\n<p>A New Blueprint Takes Shape<\/p>\n<p>Cardone\u2019s hybrid model pushes that idea further. By anchoring a fund in physical real estate \u2014 an asset with built-in rental demand \u2014 he sidesteps the problem of relying entirely on Bitcoin appreciation. Tax advantages tied to real estate ownership sweeten the returns further.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real estate mogul Grant Cardone thinks he has an answer to what ails the crypto treasury industry \u2014 pair Bitcoin with rental income.
