Real Estate Magnate Elías Sacal: Bitcoin Obsoletes Real Estate as a Store of Value

In this episode of Bitcoin for Corporations, Pierre Rochard is joined by Elías Sacal, CEO of Murano Global Investments (NASDAQ: MRNO), to explore how Bitcoin is disrupting the traditional real estate investment model. They discuss the global shift from debt-based property financing to Bitcoin-backed corporate treasuries, the diminishing store-of-value premium in real estate, and how holding Bitcoin can unlock new capital strategies for developers. Elías also shares how Murano is approaching bitcoin adoption, from both a capital raising and operational standpoint, and what this means for the future of capital allocation in Latin America and beyond. ⭐ This episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show is sponsored by Ledn, a leading provider of Bitcoin-backed loans. 👉 Visit their website at https://www.ledn.io/ to learn more! 🔶 Learn more about Bitcoin for Corporations and join our Network: https://b.tc/corporations 🔶 Connect with Elías Sacal on X: https://x.com/EliasSacalMRNO 🔶 Follow Murano Global Investments on X: https://x.com/MURANOMRNO 🔶 Connect with Pierre Rochard on X: https://x.com/BitcoinPierre Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 01:00 – Weekly Bitcoin treasury news & BFC member updates 02:00 – Introducing Elias Sacal of Grupo Murano06:00 – Elias' real estate background and path to Bitcoin 09:00 – How Bitcoin unlocks financing for real estate 12:00 – Collateral dynamics: depreciation vs. appreciation 15:00 – Bitcoin vs credit cards and FX costs in property 16:30 – Saylor’s approach to perpetual capital and leverage 23:00 – Real estate’s monetization and the pivot to Bitcoin 28:00 – Why Bitcoin investment could lead to lower rents 29:20 – Explaining sale-leaseback in real estate + BTC context 33:00 – Comparing trophy assets and Bitcoin 36:00 – Internal communication and long-term BTC vision 37:30 – Bitcoin adoption across Latin America 39:00 – Bitcoin ATMs, LATAM usage, and final thoughts #BitcoinForCorporations #GrupoMurano #EliasSacal #RealEstateDisruption #MexicoBitcoin #BitcoinTreasury #BitcoinAdoption #StoreOfValue #BitcoinVsRealEstate #EliasSacal #PierreRochard #GrupoMurano #bitcoinmagazine DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin for Corporations, or any affiliated entities.
