Bitcoin treasury Nakamoto down 98% — still pays David Bailey lavishly

2025/11/19 04:26

David Bailey’s publicly-traded bitcoin (BTC) treasury company, Nakamoto (NAKA), has crashed so low that its investors are measuring its multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV) in fractions.

The once-high flyer, which just delayed its quarterly earnings report and associated SEC filings, has complained about “complexity of accounting” after losing over $23 million on digital assets, replaced a CEO at a company it is acquiring, and admitted that it had originally planned to pay a lavish, 10x multiple for one of Bailey’s private businesses, BTC Inc.

Meanwhile, the common stock that everyone else owns has plummeted from a 23x mNAV to under 0.5x with shares 98% below their high on May 22, 2025.

Despite holding 5,765 BTC worth about $540 million in its so-called treasury, Nakamoto’s market capitalization is less than $300 million.

Its common stock has lost one-fifth of its value within the last month and 95% of its value over the past six months.

The winner amid the downfall is Bailey himself.

The common stock has plummeted from a 23x mNAV to under 0.5x with shares 98% below their high.

A $306 million valuation for BTC Inc.

Bailey founded BTC Inc. which is set to benefit from an all-stock windfall from Nakamoto.

Once cheaply priced at $1.12 per share when NAKA shares were soaring in the $30s, the $1.12 peg for Bailey’s all-stock deal with BTC Inc. is now richly above NAKA’s penny stock valuation.

Somehow, Bailey originally convinced KindlyMD — the public company that provided the NAKA shares for Nakamoto to trade on the Nasdaq — to pay “an industry standard multiple, not to be less than 10, of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciations, and amortization (EBITDA) of BTC and its subsidiaries.”

That 10x multiple equals a lavish $306 million based on BTC Inc.’s most recently annualized $30.6 million EBITDA disclosure based on its nine-month earnings.

The all-stock deal will divide that $306 million figure by KindlyMD’s $1.12 per share PIPE price. In other words, $273 million.

Even that reduction is still higher than NAKA’s $253 market cap as of publication time.

Bailey is the founder of BTC Inc. This week, Brandon Greene stepped in to replace Bailey as BTC Inc. CEO. Bailey says he will remain as chairman and cited his focus on Nakamoto as a reason for the move.

BTC Inc. completed an audit in September, a required step prior to KindlyMD/Nakamoto exercising its option to acquire BTC Inc.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
