My family is selling a $2.6M home in Miami. We'd rather own OpenAI or Anthropic stock than rent it.

The seller of this $2.6M Miami home is open to accepting AI company stocks as payment.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Luis Noguera, whose father is selling a luxury home in Miami and accepting shares in Anthropic, OpenAI, or SpaceX as payment. It has been edited for length and clarity.My father owns a modern waterfront home in South Florida that's currently on the market. Most sellers are hoping for cash offers or conventional financing.We're open to something different.If the right buyer came along and wanted to use shares in OpenAI, Anthropic, or SpaceX as part of the deal, we'd seriously consider it.A mix of cash and private-company stock would probably make the most sense. We still have practical things to think about, like paying real-estate commissions and handling the transaction itself. But we're willing to be creative because we think owning a piece of these companies could be a better long-term investment than continuing to hold the property.

The luxury Miami property features 5 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and 6.5 bathrooms.
