Christie’s International Real Estate has established a specialized team dedicated to facilitating luxury real estate transactions using Bitcoin.
This initiative specifically targets high-profile buyers seeking enhanced privacy and anonymity often associated with cryptocurrency payments.
The firm currently manages a portfolio of crypto-ready property listings valued at over $1 billion. Notable properties include a Joshua Tree residence actively marketed for nearly $18 million, explicitly welcoming crypto offers.
Beyond direct purchases, Christie’s is actively engaging financial institutions to explore the development of crypto-based mortgage financing solutions. The company anticipates significant growth potential within this lending space over the next five years.
Christie’s background in the digital asset space includes hosting prominent NFT auctions and launching its own Ethereum-based auction platform, experience it leverages to position itself competitively in the evolving digital economy of property transactions.
