David Bailey – CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and crypto advisor to Trump – raised $300 million to establish the Bitcoin investment company Nakamoto, aiming for a Nasdaq listing. Could this be a new wave for Bitcoin? Let's analyze in detail.
Nakamoto Launch: "Global MicroStrategy"
David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc. (owner of #BitcoinMagazine ), founded Nakamoto after raising $300 million ($200 million equity, $100 million convertible bonds) since January 2025. The company plans to list on Nasdaq in summer 2025 through a reverse merger, following MicroStrategy's strategy (now Strategy): buying and holding Bitcoin long-term in its capital structure. Nakamoto also aims to acquire businesses in Brazil, Thailand, and South Africa, backed by major investors and a prominent advisory board in finance and crypto.
Bailey hinted on X: "MicroStrategy from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, South Korea, South Africa? The game has just begun." He previously advised crypto policy for Trump during the 2024 campaign.
Competitive Rivals: The Institutional Bitcoin Wave
Nakamoto is not alone:
Twenty One Capital (04/24): Led by Jack Mallers (Strike), receiving funding from Tether, SoftBank, Cantor Fitzgerald, aiming to surpass MicroStrategy, becoming "the most effective Bitcoin investment vehicle."
Strive Asset Management (05/07): Founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, preparing for a reverse merger, issuing $1 billion to accumulate BTC.
KOL TylerD remarked: "The pace of new Bitcoin companies launching is accelerating rapidly," thanks to expectations of the Fed lowering interest rates and the demand for asset diversification.
Impact on the Crypto Market
This event brings many signals:
Increasing institutional confidence: Crypto fund inflows reached $3.4 billion last week, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.8 billion, and a forecast of accumulating $330 billion into Bitcoin by 2029 (Bernstein).
Boosting Bitcoin: BTC price could reach $120,000 or higher if the institutional trend continues.
Altcoin growth: $SOL and $XRP benefit from the general wave.
Future Prospects
If Nakamoto and similar companies succeed in the next 1-2 years, Bitcoin could solidify its position as an institutional asset, especially with Trump's policies favoring crypto. However, a clear legal framework is needed to maintain the growth momentum.
Conclusion: Will Bitcoin Become the "Digital Gold"?
David Bailey raised $300 million for #Nakamoto , following the MicroStrategy model, along with the wave from Twenty One Capital and Strive, indicating institutions rushing into Bitcoin. With favorable policies from Trump, Bitcoin could explode, reshaping the crypto market. Investors should closely monitor to seize the trend.
