David Bailey’s bitcoin holder Nakamoto is trying to stay on Nasdaq with a reverse stock split

Nakamoto, a bitcoin treasury firm led by David Bailey, is proposing a reverse stock split between 1-for-20 and 1-for-50 to maintain its Nasdaq listing after shares plummeted.

Key Points

  • Nakamoto shares have fallen approximately 99% from their May 2025 peak, currently trading at roughly $0.22.
  • The proposed reverse stock split aims to boost the share price above Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid requirement to avoid delisting.
  • The company recently sold 5% of its bitcoin holdings, leaving a remaining balance of 5,058 BTC.
  • A new filing registers over 400 million shares for potential resale, while the firm maintains a shelf registration for up to $7 billion in future securities.

Why it Matters

This move highlights the ongoing volatility and liquidity challenges facing bitcoin treasury firms as they navigate significant declines in asset values. The company's attempt to regain compliance reflects broader market pressure on firms that tied their valuations heavily to the performance of cryptocurrency holdings.
