Grupo Murano, a leading Mexico-based real estate firm, announced on July 22 plans to integrate Bitcoin into its operations, aiming to transition its traditional asset model to a Bitcoin-centric one.
By shifting $1 billion of assets into Bitcoin, Grupo Murano seeks to optimize its financial infrastructure, emulating a model followed by major corporations like MicroStrategy. Elías Sacal, the CEO, emphasizes this move as a strategy to enhance financial independence while maintaining operational control.
Grupo Murano aims to transform its real estate financial structure by refinancing and selling assets to invest in Bitcoin. Elías Sacal drives this strategy, aiming to convert up to 80% of its asset base into digital currency.
This shift to Bitcoin is significant, potentially streamlining capital structure and reducing reliance on traditional debt. The company’s target is to establish a robust cryptocurrency treasury supporting its operations.
