Nakamoto Inc., a Bitcoin treasury company, has faced severe financial instability regarding its debt obligations and business model. In August 2026, regulatory filings revealed the company faced a 60 million USDT Bitcoin-backed credit facility obligation due on December 4. At the end of June, the company’s combined cash and unencumbered Bitcoin totaled approximately $57.8 million, narrowly trailing the upcoming debt. Much of its Bitcoin holdings, valued at roughly $222.7 million, were pledged to the Kraken exchange as collateral.

Following these liquidity concerns, the company’s stock collapsed approximately 99% from its May 2025 peak. The company’s strategy of issuing equity at a premium to its Bitcoin holdings failed, resulting in a market-to-net asset value of less than 1x. Nakamoto reported combined net losses of approximately $371.8 million during the first and second quarters of 2026. To preserve its Nasdaq listing, the company implemented a 1-for-40 reverse stock split and shifted its focus from Bitcoin accumulation toward buybacks and cash-generating acquisitions.
