Nakamoto Inc (NASDAQ: NAKA) completed the all-stock acquisition of BTC Inc and UTXO Management GP, LLC, integrating a Bitcoin-focused media/events business with an investment manager, as reported by MarketScreener.
The combination brings operating businesses under Nakamotoโs umbrella and aligns with its stated focus on Bitcoin-native services across media, finance, and advisory.
According to Investing.com, the all-stock deal used a fixed $1.12 reference price, implying about $107.3 million in consideration at signing. At completion, the consideration equated to roughly $81.6 million on a market basis after option strikes, reflecting the decline in NAKA shares. The structure required issuing more than 360 million new shares, which materially dilutes existing shareholders.
As reported by StockTitan, BTC Inc and UTXO add about $80.5 million in revenue and $40.1 million in net income to Nakamoto on a trailing basis, indicating immediate earnings contribution subject to consolidation and integration.
Observers have highlighted related-party transaction optics and dilution concerns around using equity that had declined sharply. โTheater of the absurd,โ said Jim Chanos, referencing the purchase of companies linked to the same founder, as reported by DL News.
At the time of this writing, Bitcoin traded around $67,675, based on data from Bitget. That backdrop may frame near-term sentiment and demand cycles for Bitcoin-native media and investment services.
