The $6.22 billion real estate giant has announced the future integration of bitcoin as a payment method.
On October 6, Kaz Nejatian, CEO of Opendoor Technologies, announced the company’s intention to integrate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a payment method for home purchases. The announcement came during an exchange on X, when Nejatian responded to a user suggesting the introduction of digital asset payments by stating:
Following the news, Opendoor’s stock rose to $9.29, up from the previous close of $8.11. The San Francisco–based company operates in 44 U.S. markets and boasts a market capitalization of $6.22 billion, having generated $1.57 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2025.
The company employs approximately 1,470 people and offers real estate buying and selling services through its mobile app, financing options, and an infrastructure that could be easily adapted to support cryptocurrency payments.
Opendoor’s move is part of a broader trend in which real estate operators worldwide are integrating bitcoin and other digital assets as payment options in their business operations.
Last September, RAK Properties, one of the leading real estate developers in the United Arab Emirates, partnered with fintech company Hubpay to accept bitcoin, ether, and USDT for property purchases, with all transactions converted into dirhams through regulated channels. The Emirati initiative aims to attract younger, digitally native investors, aligning with Ras Al Khaimah’s Vision 2030 strategy for economic diversification and increased foreign investment.
As of now, Opendoor has not disclosed a specific timeline for implementing digital asset payment capabilities, nor has it specified which cryptocurrencies, aside from bitcoin, the platform will accept.
