The bra tycoon and partner Douglas Barrowman are planning to sell 150 of the 1,133 homes using the "currency of the future".



And the couple suggested everyone should be looking to buy bitcoin, after its price has more than quadrupled over the past year.



Baroness Mone said her parents and even her son have all invested in the cryptocurrency, which is underpinned by blockchain technology.



The price of bitcoin has surged from around $600 in September 2016 to reach almost $5,000 by last week, but values have tumbled this week to around $4,500.



But the Scottish founder of lingerie brand Ultimo is adamant the currency is not a fad and believes the price is only set to rise further.

Speaking to Express.co.uk Baroness Mone said: "It's definitely not a bubble, it's real.



"It's easy for people to trade between one another, it's fast - it is secure."



The entrepreneur added: "We're making money out of it.



"I'm a Baroness in the House of Lords, if there was anything untoward, I wouldn't be doing it.



"I believe it's the currency of the future."



Mr Barrowman said he believes the cryptocurrency is past the early adoption phase and has moved into the mainstream. He added: "I think everyone should have a little bit of exposure to bitcoin. "It's only going to go one way over a five-year period because it's in such scare supply. "Buy a bitcoin and put it in your paper wallet offline, forget about it five years and you might get a pleasant surprise in five years time."
