BTC2,14%

Nakamoto, the Bitcoin treasury company formerly known as KindlyMD, sold $20 million worth of Bitcoin in March and cut a large portion of its Metaplanet stake at a loss during the first quarter of the year.

The company, chaired by David Bailey, sold roughly 284 Bitcoin (BTC) for $20 million, implying an average price of about $70,400 per coin. At the end of 2025, Nakamoto valued its Bitcoin at $87,519 per coin, when it held 1,625 BTC worth $142.2 million, suggesting that the sale came at a 20% discount to its year-end valuation.

“We plan to use the proceeds to invest further in our businesses as well as replenish our working capital for costs associated with the recent Mergers,” the company said in a filing.

The company’s Bitcoin holdings stand at roughly 5,058 BTC following the sale of 284 BTC in March, down from 5,342 BTC at the end of 2025.

Nakamoto exits healthcare

In a statement, Bailey said Nakamoto plans to wind down legacy healthcare operations while focusing on integrating recent acquisitions, including BTC Inc and UTXO Management.

Shares of Nakamoto have fallen sharply in recent months. The company’s shares are down 40% year-to-date and 80% over the past six months, according to data from Yahoo! Finance. Nakamoto’s shares traded at around $0.21 at the time of writing, well below their mid-2025 peak above $30.

In December 2025, when the company was still trading as KindlyMD, it received a Nasdaq notice after its shares fell below the $1 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a six-month window to regain compliance or face delisting.
