Nakamoto Inc. (NAKA) Closes Last Healthcare Clinic, Completes Full Pivot to Bitcoin

Nakamoto Inc. (Nasdaq: NAKA) shut down its last legacy healthcare clinics on June 19, 2026, completing a pivot that transforms the Nashville-based company into a pure-play Bitcoin operating business with no remaining ties to the healthcare sector that once defined it.

The move has been in the works for months. Nakamoto has steadily built out three core verticals — media and information services, asset management and financial services, and consulting and advisory services — all structured to generate recurring revenue independent of Bitcoin’s price. 

Remaining administrative tasks from the healthcare wind-down are expected to close out by the end of Q3 2026.

Chairman and CEO David Bailey called it a clean break. “With our healthcare clinics now closed, Nakamoto continues to be focused on executing its strategy as a Bitcoin operating company,” Bailey said in a statement Monday. “We are now entirely focused on scaling those businesses and building durable long-term value for our shareholders.”

The media vertical is the most visible piece of the platform. Through subsidiary BTC Inc., the company controls Bitcoin Magazine, The Bitcoin Conference, and the Bitcoin for Corporations program — a suite of properties that gives the company a reach into institutional and retail Bitcoin communities that rivals cannot replicate.

The asset management arm, UTXO Management, handles public and private market investments across the Bitcoin ecosystem. The advisory practice targets corporate clients seeking Bitcoin strategy and market intelligence. 

All three businesses are designed to generate cash without relying on BTC treasury appreciation — a structural distinction that separates Nakamoto from simple Bitcoin holding companies.

The transition has not been without cost. In March 2026, Nakamoto sold 284 BTC, booking a $166.2 million fair-value loss for fiscal year 2025. 

In June, the company sold roughly 600 BTC and Bitcoin derivatives to repay a debt obligation to Kraken, pushing the remaining loan maturities to 2027. Nakamoto ended that transaction holding approximately 4,467 BTC on its balance sheet.

The healthcare clinic’s roots trace back to KindlyMD, Inc. (then trading as KDLY), a Salt Lake City-based healthcare provider founded in 2019 as the Utah Therapeutic Health Center, focused on holistic pain management and opioid-alternative care. 

On May 12, 2025, KindlyMD entered into a definitive merger agreement with Nakamoto. The deal was backed by over $710 million in financing, including approximately $540 million in a PIPE raise and $200 million in convertible notes, attracting more than 200 investors across six continents. 

KindlyMD shareholders approved the transaction by written consent on May 18, 2025, and the merger closed on August 14, 2025. 

Nakamoto became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the combined company rebranded as Nakamoto Inc. in January 2026 — trading on Nasdaq under the ticker NAKA.
