Here’s a plot twist for the real estate world, Opendoor, the $6.22 billion real estate behemoth, just announced they’re ready to let you buy a home with bitcoin.
The future of house-hunting might involve trading satoshis instead of sweaty cash.
Crypto payments for housing
Opendoor’s CEO Kaz Nejatian dropped this bombshell during a chat on X, basically saying, yep, bitcoin and maybe other cryptos are coming soon as payment options for your next crib.
We will. Just need to prioritize it.

The market didn’t take it lightly, Opendoor’s shares jumped from $8.11 to $9.29 faster than you can say blockchain.
Headquartered in San Francisco but playing nationwide in 44 U.S. markets, Opendoor is no slouch.
They pulled in $1.57 billion revenue in Q2 2025 and employ around 1,470 people hustling through their slick mobile app.
Financing’s baked right into their system, and their current setup looks perfectly primed to handle crypto payments without breaking a sweat.

Global trend
And the funny fact is that his move isn’t an isolated stunt. Real estate players worldwide are dancing with crypto assets.
It’s almost like a global trend. Take RAK Properties in the UAE, for example.
Last September, they teamed up with fintech wizard Hubpay to accept bitcoin, ether, and USDT for buying property, instantly swapping those cryptos into dirhams through fully regulated means.
It’s part of Ras Al Khaimah’s grand plan to lure younger, tech-savvy investors as they chase their Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and fattened foreign investment.
Real estate’s fast lane
For the moment, Opendoor hasn’t handed out a launch date or confirmed a stablecoin cameo alongside bitcoin.
But the message is clear, digital currency is staking its claim in real estate’s fast lane.
So, if you were wondering when your crypto stash might finally snag you that dream home, the answer just got a lot closer.
Opendoor’s step could be the spark that turns “Paying in Bitcoin?” from a rare question into your next buying option.
