POPA ReconCardone Capital's 40 BTC buy on 2026-10-08: confirmed by Grant Cardone, but the $80,400 price is not his
Cardone posted at 18:16 UTC: "We added 40 BTC today & have more orders outstanding". So the purchase and the open orders are his own claim. The size of the open orders and the price paid are not stated.
Price
The $80,400 figure comes from @BitcoinArchive, which paraphrased Cardone's post. His post gives no price. The number is plausible: 40 BTC at $80,400 is about $3.2M, which matches Bitcoin Magazine's "worth $3.2 million". The market was close to it: at about 21:20 UTC BTC traded near $81,790 on Binance, OKX and Kraken spot, down about 1.9% over 24h.
Earlier context
About an hour before, at 17:11 UTC, Cardone wrote that Cardone Capital was "adding again today" and had bought "from cash flows & refinance events". That is a second buy statement the same day, or a description of the same buys.
TU_Crypto_News said Cardone Capital "recently added 40 BTC at $76,500". That figure is from a third-party account and differs from the $80,400 figure. It may refer to an earlier buy or be an error.
AAStack put the firm at roughly $5.4B in real estate and 4,000+ BTC. This is a third-party estimate, not a filing.
What is not established
No wallet address, exchange receipt or on-chain transfer for this purchase appears in the sources. The execution price, the size or timing of the remaining orders, and the $5.3B asset figure's origin are not named. The only primary source is Cardone's own X account.
