Why Governments Are Racing to Stockpile Bitcoin in 2025

Over the past four years, the city’s property values have surged by nearly 70%, according to Bloomberg. That’s not a typo. That’s a market on steroids.

And Wall Street? They’re not watching from the sidelines. They’re diving in, cash first.

The Big Money Is Here

In Q1 2025 alone, Dubai’s real estate market hit AED142.7 billion ($38.85 billion) in total sales—a 30.3% jump from Q1 last year, based on data reported by Economy Middle East. That’s the second-highest quarter in recorded history.

Transactions? Over 45,000 in just three months.

The price per square foot? Spiked to AED1,563, up from AED889 in 2021. That’s not steady growth. That’s a property rocket.

And guess who’s fueling it?

The Usual (American) Suspects

Let’s talk big dogs:

  • Goldman Sachs invested a total of $60 million into Dubai’s hospitality scene through Sunset Hospitality Group—$35 million in 2022 and another $25 million in 2025. They want 20 hotels up and running by 2026. That’s not dabbling. That’s a land grab, as reported by Arabian Business.
  • Apollo has already shoveled $1.9 billion into Aldar Properties since 2022. Just dropped another $500 million recently. Strategic move? Absolutely, according to Arabian Business.
  • Brookfield Corp. is now exploring a mixed-use residential community in Dubai Hills—its first residential venture in the region after dominating DIFC with ICD Brookfield Place.
  • Mapletree Investments is setting up camp with $2 billion in Gulf investments. Abu Dhabi office? Already open, as highlighted by Bloomberg.

This isn’t speculation. This is execution.

What’s Driving the Madness?

It’s not just the sun and shiny buildings. It’s returns, tax breaks, and freedom.

Dubai gives investors what New York and London can’t—profits without the paperwork.

You’ve got:

  • No property tax.
  • Golden Visas.
  • 100% foreign ownership.

And a flood of high-net-worth individuals is pouring in post-pandemic. Russians, crypto whales, hedge fund bros—they’re buying everything that isn’t nailed down. According to Consultancy ME, Dubai still offers prime luxury homes at $800/sq ft, making it ridiculously affordable compared to Manhattan or Mayfair.

That affordability fuels demand. And demand fuels price explosions.

The Transaction Boom

Let’s break it down:

  • Plot sales: AED35.5B (+193.8% YoY)
  • Villa sales: AED41.3B (+43.1% YoY)
  • Apartment sales: AED62.3B (+12.6% YoY)
  • Commercial properties: AED3.6B (+25.2% YoY)

Spots like Dubai Marina and Business Bay are pulling in billions. In fact, the most expensive property in Q1 2025? A villa at AED140 million. That’s not real estate—that’s a trophy.

MetricQ1 2025 ValueYoY Change
Total SalesAED142.7B ($38.85B)+30.3%
Transactions45,485+22.8%
Price/Sq FtAED1,563+4.4%

But Let’s Be Real…

Every gold rush has its risks.

Dubai’s market isn’t invincible. A global economic hiccup or sudden regulation shift could shake things up. Overdevelopment? It’s a possibility.

But right now? The numbers scream confidence.

8 office buildings sold in 24 months. That’s more than the past decade combined. Hotels? 15 properties flipped in 30 months. Average lease rates? Up 9.1% in just six months, according to Arabian Business.

What Happens Next?

Knight Frank projects an 8% rise in residential values and 5% in luxury property by the end of 2025. That’s on top of a four-year bull run.

Translation? The rocket isn’t slowing down.

And with Wall Street’s deep pockets pushing this machine, Dubai’s on track to become the financial playground of the East.

You either watch it happen, or you ride the wave.
