Kaz Nejatian’s Crypto Tease Sends Opendoor Buzzing on X
Founded in 2014 and based in San Francisco, Opendoor is a real estate tech company that turned the home-selling grind into a streamlined digital affair. Its online platform gives homeowners instant cash offers, letting them skip the endless listings and open houses.
After snapping up properties, Opendoor fixes them up and flips them—acting as an “iBuyer” that keeps its own housing inventory in motion. On Monday, an X user told Nejatian he wished “we could enable home buying on Opendoor using bitcoin or some other cryptos.”
Nejatian didn’t leave him hanging—he replied that the company plans to make it happen, adding they just need to bump the feature up the priority list. The comment came after Nejatian posted on X that he wanted to let “core, everyday shareholders” ask questions directly to Opendoor’s management team during the next earnings call.
Traded on the Nasdaq, Opendoor’s had a standout year in 2025. Over the past six months, shares of OPEN have skyrocketed more than 777%, and in just the last five days, the stock tacked on another 4% against the U.S. dollar.
OPEN has climbed another 3% so far today, adding to its hot streak. Nejatian’s comment landed just as bitcoin (BTC) hit a record lifetime high today of $126,272 per coin on Bitstamp.
