Collaboration Launches Initial Treasury Financing Structure
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / KindlyMD, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAKA) ("KindlyMD" or "the Company"), a provider of integrated healthcare services and a Bitcoin treasury vehicle through its subsidiary Nakamoto Holdings ("Nakamoto"), today announced a strategic partnership with Antalpha (NASDAQ:ANTA) , a fintech company specializing in financing, technology and risk management solutions for the digital asset industry.
As a leader in Bitcoin mining supply chain financial services, Antalpha is extending its expertise beyond mining to serve companies managing Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. In partnering with Nakamoto, the two firms aim to create financing structures tailored to the needs of treasury-focused organizations and to help accelerate Bitcoin's adoption among public companies.
"This partnership represents the power of Bitcoin companies backing Bitcoin companies," said David Bailey, Chairman and CEO of KindlyMD. "It's meaningful to work with a longstanding, mission-aligned Bitcoin company to create financial solutions for Nakamoto and the wider industry. Together with Antalpha, we are not only addressing today's financing needs but also laying the foundation for future structures tailored to the unique requirements of Bitcoin treasury companies. This is the first step in what we expect will be a long series of initiatives to benefit our portfolio, our shareholders, and the Bitcoin ecosystem at large."
"As a Bitcoin-native company and market leader with an unmatched reputation for exceptional client services, Antalpha is the ideal partner for creating competitive, long-term financing options that understand Bitcoin's intrinsic properties as a treasury reserve asset," said Mr. Bailey.
Additionally, as part of the strategic partnership, Antalpha and Nakamoto have signed a non-binding letter of intent regarding the issuance by Nakamoto of new 5-year
"Nakamoto's vision for the industry and its strategy to invest in a global network of Bitcoin companies is aligned with our view of the industry's future," said Dr. Derar Islim, COO and CEO of Antalpha Americas & EMEA. "Antalpha understands the unique requirements of Bitcoin treasury companies and the specialized financing and technology services they need. Together, we are building new structures that bridge the gap between traditional financing and the realities of the Bitcoin market, with this agreement representing only the first step. We expect to continue developing additional solutions with Nakamoto that serve treasury companies at scale and further accelerate Bitcoin's adoption by public companies."
The partnership follows Mr. Bailey's September 15 Shareholder Letter, which emphasized the importance of building alignment among shareholders and financial partners to support the Company's long-term investment strategy. Since then, the Company has transitioned away from prior financing arrangements that were not fully aligned with this strategy and is now focused on partnerships that share its long-term vision.
