- Nakamoto Holdings secured $51.5 million through KindlyMD to launch a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury platform.
- The firm plans to offer transparent and regulated exposure to Bitcoin for public market investors.
- The deal reflects a growing trend of crypto firms entering equity markets via reverse mergers for credibility and capital access.
Nakamoto Holdings, a Bitcoin-focused treasury platform, has secured $51.5 million in private funding through its merger partner, KindlyMD, marking a significant milestone in its journey to establish a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury.
The funding round, closed on Friday, was backed by a group of private investors aiming to bolster the firm’s mission to create a robust, transparent, and regulated approach to Bitcoin ownership at the corporate level. The investment comes amid increasing institutional appetite for digital asset exposure and a growing shift toward on-chain treasury solutions.
Strategic Merger with KindlyMD
The capital raise was facilitated through KindlyMD, a health-tech company that is merging with Nakamoto Holdings in a strategic move that will transition the merged entity into a publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company. While KindlyMD originated in the medical space, its reverse merger with Nakamoto Holdings is designed to pivot its business model entirely toward the digital asset economy.
Upon finalisation of the merger, the combined company is expected to trade publicly, enabling both institutional and retail investors to gain regulated exposure to Bitcoin through equity markets, similar to the approach of companies like MicroStrategy.
Focus on Transparency and Regulation
Nakamoto Holdings intends to acquire and manage Bitcoin as a treasury asset while using capital markets to afford a democratic access to crypto-backed financial structures. Unlike existing crypto funds or ETFs, the company will act as a corporate holder of Bitcoin, and stockholders will be able to gain direct exposure to the asset class.
The company has pledged to disclose its Bitcoin transactions and holdings regularly, creating a transparent system for investors to track real-time treasury movements. This approach aims to reduce volatility and build trust, especially in the aftermath of high-profile collapses in the crypto space over the past two years.
“We believe Bitcoin will become a cornerstone of modern corporate treasury strategies,” a Nakamoto Holdings spokesperson said. “This raise enables us to build a scalable, publicly visible model that brings institutional rigor to Bitcoin ownership.”
This move is part of a broader trend in which crypto-native firms are entering public markets through SPACs or reverse mergers to gain legitimacy, investor reach, and compliance alignment. Firms like Core Scientific, Bitdeer, and Iris Energy have already set precedents.
As crypto markets mature and regulatory frameworks solidify, such efforts may become an increasingly common way for digital asset companies to tap public capital and reshape how treasuries are managed globally.
