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.
