Stablecoins as a tool for real estate investment

Imagine a bridge that carries the fluidity of digital assets straight into the solid foundation of prime real estate. Stablecoins, with their price stability, are that bridge—turning volatile cryptocurrency into reliable capital for luxury property in Saint‑Barthélemy. At SBH Capital Partners, we help our clients transform their digital assets into tangible wealth while navigating French jurisdiction and a unique tax model that offers neutrality worldwide (Source: OECD Crypto‑Asset Guidance 2024).

Definitions

Stablecoins Explained

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to a fiat currency, usually the euro or dollar, to reduce volatility. Think of it as a digital banknote that never loses its value like a well‑kept ledger (Source: FATF Crypto‑Asset Recommendations).

Saint‑Barthélemy’s Fiscal Landscape

Saint‑Barthélemy, a French overseas collectivity, offers a tax regime that is both transparent and neutral. It allows companies to benefit from exemption on capital gains derived from crypto conversions when reinvested locally—no flat tax (PFU) applies. This model is not tax evasion but an optimization strategy governed by French law (Source: French Tax Administration).
