| Key Points: – Nakamoto to acquire BTC Inc. and UTXO Management, consolidating operations. – Deal integrates media, events, and asset management into one Bitcoin-focused platform. – Aims to build commercial and financial infrastructure for Bitcoin-native businesses. |
Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA) entered merger agreements to acquire BTC Inc. and UTXO Management GP, LLC, consolidating media, events, and asset management under one platform, as reported by Bitcoin Magazine. The move aims to formalize a multi-segment operating model around Bitcoin-focused services.
The company frames the combination as an integrated offering across media and information, finance and asset management, and advisory and consulting, according to Nakamoto Inc. The acquisitions are positioned as advancing its stated mission to build commercial and financial infrastructure around Bitcoin-native businesses.
Form 8-K: all-stock transaction terms and valuation overview
According to a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the acquisitions are structured as an all-stock transaction. Nakamoto will issue 363,589,816 common shares at $1.12 per share, implying aggregate consideration of approximately $107.3 million.
The filing also notes governance safeguards: a Special Committee of independent directors oversaw the review, B. Riley Securities, Inc. provided a fairness opinion, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as independent legal counsel. It further discloses that certain Nakamoto executives hold equity interests in BTC Inc. and/or UTXO, and that lock-up agreements will restrict the sale of received shares for roughly six to twelve months after closing.
Management frames the tie-up as a scale play across distribution and capital formation. “A significant opportunity to scale our reach, deepen engagement, and support the next phase of Bitcoin’s growth across enterprises and investors,” said Brandon Green, CEO, BTC Inc.
Issuing 363.6 million new shares would expand Nakamoto’s share count materially, which could dilute existing holders’ percentage ownership. The magnitude ultimately depends on the pre-deal share base and any post-close capital actions.
As reported by Investing.com, NAKA shares have been under pressure, with a decline of nearly 90% over the prior year. That backdrop may focus investor attention on integration progress and revenue durability rather than near-term trading volatility.
