Nakamoto sold 284 Bitcoin on the last day of March just to keep the lights on. That detail, buried in the company’s first-quarter financial results, tells the story of where one of the country’s Bitcoin treasury companies now stands.
A Company Running Low On Options?The Bitcoin accumulation strategy that once drove Nakamoto’s stock above $25 a share has given way to something far less glamorous — selling Bitcoin to cover operating costs.
Following Stockholder Approval, Nakamoto Announces 1-for-40 Reverse Stock Split to be Effective May 22, 2026
Racing The Clock On NasdaqThe company is now focused on a more immediate problem: staying listed on the Nasdaq. Last December, Nasdaq sent Nakamoto a warning after its stock price dropped below $1 for 30 straight trading days.
The move was approved by shareholders at a special meeting earlier this month. Under the plan, every 40 shares get combined into one, shrinking the total share count from 696 million down to 17.4 million.
The stock closed at 16 cents Wednesday — down 7.5% for the day and more than 99% below where it traded a year ago.
Consolidation Ahead For The SectorNakamoto’s troubles are not unique. Reports indicate that crypto treasury companies broadly have been in a downturn since 2025, with many trading below the value of the assets on their books.
Some have begun selling their Bitcoin holdings to pay down debt. One company, Genius Group, liquidated its entire 84 Bitcoin reserve in February for that purpose.
