Nakamoto Holdings, the Bitcoin-focused firm founded by David Bailey, President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency advisor, has secured $51.5 million in a private placement of public equity (PIPE) deal, according to merger partner KindlyMD.
The funds were raised in less than 72 hours, underscoring investors’ enthusiasm for Nakamoto’s strategic focus on BTC acquisition, Cointelegraph reports .
“We continue to execute on our strategy of raising as much capital as possible to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible,” Bailey said. The deal values the shares at $5 each and brings KindlyMD’s total funding to $563 million — or $763 million if convertible notes are included.
Merger With KindlyMD Launches Public Entity Focused on Bitcoin
Nakamoto Holdings, founded with the clear goal of amassing a significant Bitcoin treasure, is expected to finalize its merger with KindlyMD by Q3 2025. The combined entity will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker NAKA and aims to leverage debt and equity financing to launch native Bitcoin businesses while expanding its BTC reserves. Shareholders of healthcare company KindlyMD approved the merger last month, and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are pending. Proceeds from the PIPE financing will fund additional Bitcoin purchases, operating expenses, and business development.
Bitcoin Corporate Adoption Is Making Headway, But Cautiously
The move is part of a broader trend of public companies adding BTC to their treasuries. At least 27 organizations have done so in the past month, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. While this momentum shows sustained institutional interest, skeptics remain. Fakhul Miah of GoMining Institutional warned that smaller companies may be buying BTC more out of urgency than conviction, potentially lacking risk cushions. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered has warned that up to half of these companies could face liquidation risks if Bitcoin were to fall below $90,000, creating potential reputational backlash for the corporate crypto movement.
