Murano Global Investments (Nasdaq: MRNO), a London-based real estate and hospitality company, has announced a strategic expansion into Bitcoin, launching a corporate treasury initiative aimed at accumulating the cryptocurrency alongside its core operations. The firm has already acquired 21 Bitcoin and joined the “Bitcoin for Corporations” alliance led by Michael Saylor as a Chairman’s Circle member.

The move marks a significant diversification for Murano, traditionally focused on Mexican real estate development and hospitality ventures. CEO Elias Sacal described Bitcoin as a “transformative asset” that complements the company’s long-term vision.

“We’re incredibly excited about enhancing our core strategy with this complementary Bitcoin Treasury initiative,” said Sacal. “We see Bitcoin as a transformative asset that not only offers long-term growth potential but also strengthens our balance sheet against inflation and systemic risk.”

Bitcoin as a Treasury Anchor

Murano’s pivot toward digital assets is part of a broader strategy to unlock capital trapped in real estate projects and increase shareholder returns through greater liquidity and yield. The initiative seeks to turn operational cash flow, real estate assets, and public-market access into a sustainable method of Bitcoin accumulation.

The company outlined four key pillars of its Bitcoin-integrated model:

  1. Hospitality integration – Exploring Bitcoin payments and rewards programs across hotel and hospitality ventures.
  2. Asset liquidity – Conducting sale-leaseback transactions to unlock capital from real estate holdings.
  3. Capital access – Leveraging its $500 million Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with Yorkville to fund Bitcoin purchases.
  4. Treasury growth – Expanding its existing 21 BTC holdings to become one of the leading corporate Bitcoin holders.

A Hybrid Investment Approach

Murano’s dual-focus strategy aims to appeal to a wide range of investors by combining traditional assets with digital currency exposure. By retaining its real estate and hospitality foundation while investing in Bitcoin, the company positions itself as a hybrid model—much like early adopters such as Strategy and Tesla.

The announcement adds Murano to the growing list of publicly traded companies that see Bitcoin not just as a speculative asset but as a core treasury component capable of delivering long-term resilience.

As the market responds to this evolving corporate trend, Murano's hybrid treasury model could signal a new phase in institutional crypto adoption—one that blends the stability of real-world assets with the disruptive potential of decentralized finance.
