Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nakamoto Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 total operating revenues of $35.9 million, its first full quarter as an integrated Bitcoin-focused company. Revenue included $25.6 million from media and information services and asset management, and $10.4 million from its Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy.

GAAP results were heavily affected by non-cash items, including a $105.2 million goodwill impairment and $48.7 million of mark-to-market losses on digital assets, leading to a GAAP operating loss of $149.1 million and a net loss of $133.0 million, or $6.65 per diluted share. Excluding these and other adjustments, adjusted operating income was $7.3 million, the first positive quarter since becoming a Bitcoin operating company.

Liquidity actions were significant: the company repaid 45 million USDT of its Bitcoin-backed loan, ending June 30, 2026 with $19.1 million in cash, total debt of $164.7 million, and a Net Leverage – Digital Assets Ratio of 56%. Nakamoto held 4,467 Bitcoin worth about $261.5 million at quarter-end, and its flagship Bitcoin 2026 conference generated $22.6 million in revenue.

Positive

  • Adjusted operating income of $7.3 million marked the first positive quarter since transitioning to a Bitcoin operating company, indicating that core operations can generate earnings despite volatility and large non-cash charges.
  • Debt reduction of 45 million USDT on a Bitcoin-backed loan and extension of approximately 105 million USDT of principal to June 30, 2027 strengthen liquidity, reduce interest expense, and lower near-term refinancing pressure.
  • Bitcoin 2026 conference revenue of $22.6 million was about 73% higher than Bitcoin 2023’s $13.1 million, implying a roughly 20% compounded annual growth rate across a full market cycle for this key media franchise.
  • Bitcoin holdings of 4,467 BTC with an aggregate fair value of about $261.5 million provide a substantial digital asset base that supports the company’s treasury, derivatives strategies, and net leverage metrics.

Negative

  • GAAP net loss of $133.0 million (or $6.65 per diluted share) and operating loss of $149.1 million reflect very large non-cash goodwill impairment and digital asset fair value losses.
  • Goodwill impairment charges of $105.2 million and $48.7 million of mark-to-market losses on digital assets highlight valuation pressure on acquired businesses and Bitcoin-linked holdings.
  • Net Leverage – Digital Assets Ratio of 56%, with total debt of $164.7 million and 3,805 of 4,467 Bitcoin pledged as collateral, indicates meaningful balance-sheet leverage tied to volatile digital assets.
  • Asset Management segment posted a $25.6 million operating loss on just $0.5 million of revenue, including $24.6 million of non-cash goodwill impairment, underscoring currently weak profitability in that business line.

Filing Explained

Share issuance remains conditional: the filing reports 17,894,943 common shares versus 22,361,728 fully diluted shares, while repurchases are only authorized.

This Form 8-K reports Nakamoto’s second-quarter results and the completed June 19, 2026 closure of its legacy healthcare clinics, and it also puts 17,894,943 common shares outstanding beside 22,361,728 fully diluted shares, identifying potential share-base expansion if the listed instruments or acquisition-related shares become common stock.

The company authorized a share repurchase program of up to $25 million, but the filing does not report completed repurchases and states that it may not repurchase any shares under the program.

The fully diluted figure includes options, pre-funded warrants, holdback shares for the BTC Inc. and UTXO acquisitions, restricted stock units, shares tied to letters of transmittal, and cash warrants; these categories are not all reported as currently outstanding common shares.

A pre-funded warrant converts to shares when exercised, and issuing additional shares can reduce an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

As of June 30, 2026, 3,805 of the company’s 4,467 Bitcoin were pledged as collateral for its notes payable, linking that portion of the treasury holdings to the borrowing structure.

The reported share counts reflect a completed 1-for-40 reverse stock split effective May 22, 2026, which reduced the share count and proportionally raised the per-share price without itself changing company value.

The specific follow-up items are whether the authorized repurchase program produces any purchases and whether the contingent share categories listed in the June 30, 2026 reconciliation become common shares.

goodwill impairment financial
"The goodwill impairment is a non-cash charge reflecting a lower valuation of the acquired businesses"
Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.
mark-to-market losses financial
"$48.7 million of mark-to-market losses on our digital assets primarily associated with Bitcoin"
Mark-to-market losses occur when a company revalues assets or investments at current market prices and records the resulting drop in value, even if those assets haven’t been sold. They matter to investors because they reduce reported profits and shareholders’ equity immediately, can affect borrowing terms and stock perception, and give a real-time view of how market swings are hurting a company’s balance sheet — like lowering the listed price of items in a shop to match what buyers are willing to pay today.
Net Leverage – Digital Assets Ratio financial
"Nakamoto had a Net Leverage – Digital Assets Ratio as of June 30, 2026 of 56%"
fully diluted shares outstanding financial
"Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding (non-GAAP) 22,361,728"
Total number of shares that would exist if every outstanding option, warrant, convertible security and other instrument that can become stock were exercised or converted; it combines current shares with all potential shares. Investors use this figure to see the true size of the ownership pie and to judge per-share metrics like earnings or value per share, because potential extra shares can dilute each existing investor’s claim much like adding more slices reduces the size of each slice of a pie.

Nakamoto Reports Second Quarter 2026

Financial and Operating Results

 

First Full Quarter as an Integrated Bitcoin Company Highlights Early Execution, Product Innovation, and Growing Institutional Engagement

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn.August 13, 2026: Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA) (“Nakamoto” or the “Company”), a Bitcoin company that owns and operates a portfolio of Bitcoin-native enterprises, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

“This was Nakamoto’s first full quarter operating as a combined company, with our media, asset management, and advisory businesses working together,” said David Bailey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nakamoto. “While our GAAP results reflect significant non-cash charges from goodwill impairment and the decline in Bitcoin’s price, this quarter we delivered the first positive adjusted operating income since Nakamoto became a Bitcoin operating company. We hosted the largest Bitcoin gathering in the world, guided the 210k Capital Fund to complete the first cleared Bitcoin Depositary Receipt trade through prime brokerage and DTCC settlement, and strengthened our capital structure by reducing debt by approximately $45 million. Nakamoto enters the second half with a stronger balance sheet, a focused strategy, and businesses built to lead the Bitcoin economy.”

Q2 2026 Financial Highlights

 

Reported total operating revenue of $35.9 million, including:

 

$25.6 million from Media & Information Services and Asset Management businesses
$10.4 million from Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy

 

Reported operating loss of $149.1 million, primarily driven by:

 

$105.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges
The goodwill impairment is a non-cash charge reflecting a lower valuation of the acquired businesses amid the broader digital asset market decline. Even after this adjustment, the carrying value of the acquired businesses remains approximately in line with the consideration paid at acquisition.
$48.7 million of mark-to-market losses on our digital assets primarily associated with Bitcoin

 

Reported adjusted operating income of $7.3 million, primarily driven by:

 

$10.4 million from Bitcoin derivatives revenue
$3.6 million of adjusted operating income from Media & Information Services related to the success of the Bitcoin 2026 flagship conference (“Bitcoin 2026”)

 

Reported net loss of $133.0 million, or $6.65 per diluted share, due primarily to non-cash goodwill impairment and mark to market losses on digital assets
Reduced outstanding debt by approximately 45 million USDT and extended approximately 105 million USDT of principal to June 30, 2027 under the Company’s refinanced loan terms
Held 4,467 Bitcoin as of June 30, 2026, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $261.5 million at quarter-end

 

 

 

 

Q2 2026 Operational Highlights

 

Nakamoto:

 

Completed the closure of the Company’s legacy healthcare clinics on June 19, 2026, marking Nakamoto’s full transition into a Bitcoin operating company
Reduced outstanding debt by approximately $45 million, and extended a portion of our loan to June 30, 2027
Authorized a share repurchase program of up to $25 million, reflecting the Board’s confidence in the Company’s intrinsic value and long-term growth prospects
Appointed Chief Investment Officer, Tyler Evans, to Nakamoto’s Board of Directors (“Board”), further strengthening the Board’s expertise in Bitcoin-native capital markets, asset management, and strategic capital allocation

 

UTXO Management GP, LLC (“UTXO”):

 

Formed UTXO Preferred Income Strategies LP, UTXO’s first structured credit product, establishing a flexible institutional fund structure that expands the firm’s product capabilities and provides foundational infrastructure for the development of additional investment products
As investment manager, UTXO guided the 210k Capital Fund to complete the first cleared Bitcoin Depositary Receipt trade through traditional prime brokerage and DTCC settlement infrastructure, marking a historic milestone in integrating Bitcoin investment products into established financial markets and demonstrating UTXO’s ability to develop innovative institutional structures
UTXO’s actively managed Bitcoin fund, 210k Capital, generated a loss of 5% on assets under management during the quarter, compared with a 14% decline for Bitcoin over the same period, demonstrating the fund’s ability to preserve capital and outperform the underlying asset during a volatile market environment

 

BTC Inc.

 

Bitcoin 2026 generated total revenue of $22.6 million. The Company notes that conference revenue has historically tracked the Bitcoin market cycle; the Company believes the appropriate benchmark is the Bitcoin 2023 flagship conference (“Bitcoin 2023”) which earned revenue of $13.1 million. Bitcoin 2023 was the last conference held during a comparable drawdown, when Bitcoin was trading at approximately 60% below the previous all-time high. Against that benchmark, 2026 revenue grew approximately 73%, representing a three-year compounded annual growth rate of approximately 20% across a full market cycle. In the Company’s view, this cycle-adjusted comparison better reflects the structural growth of the conference franchise.
Launched the inaugural Deal Day at this year’s Bitcoin Conference, creating a curated forum to connect institutional investors, bankers, and operators to strengthen relationships and facilitate actionable deal flow across the Bitcoin and broader digital asset ecosystem
Expanded Bitcoin for Corporations’ institutional events platform through the inaugural BFC in NYC symposium, which convened approximately 250 corporate executives, capital allocators, and Bitcoin-industry decision-makers
Announced BM TV (Bitcoin Magazine TV), a daily live broadcast network designed to expand Bitcoin Magazine’s video media capabilities, increase year-round sponsorship inventory, and deliver institutional-focused coverage of Bitcoin, global markets, geopolitics, and frontier technology across multiple digital platforms

Nakamoto had a Net Leverage – Digital Assets Ratio as of June 30, 2026 of 56%, had cash and cash equivalents of $19.1 million, and total debt of $164.7 million.

 

During the quarter, Nakamoto actively managed its Bitcoin as both a long-term treasury reserve asset and a component of its operating, financing and income-generating strategies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release presents three supplemental measures: adjusted operating income (loss), net leverage – digital asset ratio and fully diluted shares outstanding. We define Adjusted operating income (loss) as GAAP operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of digital assets, impairment of goodwill, (gain) loss on investments, transaction-related general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and transaction-related compensation. Management uses Adjusted operating income (loss) to evaluate the operating performance of its businesses apart from these items; because the measure excludes items that can be significant, it has material limitations, should not be viewed in isolation, and should be considered together with GAAP operating income (loss). We define net leverage – digital asset ratio as net debt divided by digital assets, where net debt consists of notes payable, net, less cash and cash equivalents. We define fully diluted shares outstanding as common shares outstanding and all options, warrants, holdback shares for the BTC Inc. and UTXO Management acquisitions, restricted stock units and shares to be issued upon delivery of letters of transmittal from BTC Inc. stockholders.

 

 

 

 

Management uses adjusted operating income (loss), to assess the operating results of our businesses without the effects changes in the fair value of our digital asset holdings, goodwill impairment, gains and losses on investments, depreciation and amortization and transaction-related items, and believes it is useful to investors for that purpose. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes changes in the fair value of our digital asset holdings and gains and losses on investments but includes derivative revenue, which itself may be affected by movements in the price of Bitcoin. Management uses net leverage – digital asset ratio to assess the coverage of our borrowings by our digital asset holdings net of cash on hand and to monitor the relationship between the Company’s indebtedness and its digital asset holdings; however, this measure has significant limitations because a substantial portion of the Company’s Bitcoin is pledged as collateral and subject to contractual transfer restrictions and because the digital assets in the denominator are subject to significant price volatility, and it is not a measure of the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for such measurements. We use these non-GAAP financial measures and other key metrics internally to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they facilitate period-to-period comparison of our operating results by excluding the items described above, which vary in amount and timing between periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. They should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In particular, other companies, including companies in our industry, may report adjusted operating income (loss), net leverage – digital asset ratio and similar supplemental share counts, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the reconciliations included herein.
