Opendoor, an American home buying company often described as an iBuyer, has signaled that it may accept Bitcoin for real estate purchases, according to public comments from its new CEO.
According to the report, the statement sparked headlines describing the move as a major step toward cryptocurrency payments for real estate, but a company announcement with more details is not yet available.
Executive Signals on Social Media
According to X’s post, Kaz Nejatian, who recently took over as CEO, responded to a user asking whether Opendoor would accept Bitcoin.
“We will do it, we just have to prioritize,” Nejatian wrote. This short answer was adopted by several cryptocurrency retailers, and the report made headlines about a $6 billion real estate company preparing to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method.
According to the report, some stories interpret Nejatian’s response as a solid plan, while others treat it as a sign of exploration rather than a completed program.
We will do that. You have to prioritize.

Board movements and company size
Opendoor is a large consumer real estate platform for buying, renovating, and reselling homes. Recent leadership changes include the appointment of Nejatian as CEO and the return of co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu to the board, according to the report.
The company’s profile and size, often reported in press releases as being valued at around $6 billion, helps explain why this hint quickly attracted attention from investors and cryptocurrency watchers.

Legal and financial context
Opendoor still faces outstanding legal and investor issues, including a $39 million settlement related to previous claims over its pricing practices, according to recent reports.
This issue remains separate from cryptocurrency signals, but adds context to readers. Opendoor is a well-capitalized business operating in a tight market and under regulatory scrutiny.
Any move to accept Bitcoin would have to comply with mortgage rules, closing procedures, remittance laws and tax reporting obligations, all of which analysts pointed to as complicating factors.
How Cryptocurrency Payments Work
According to reports so far, one plausible approach would be for buyers to pay in Bitcoin while Opendoor or a partner immediately converts the proceeds into dollars for payment, protecting the seller from cryptocurrency price fluctuations and storage liabilities.
These agreements have also been used in other industries where companies accept cryptocurrencies for high-value transactions.
There has been no published confirmation of which cryptocurrencies are accepted, whether partial payments are possible, or which partners can handle conversion and storage.
