Nakamoto Inc Clears Nasdaq Delist Risk: Launch $25M NAKA Share Buyback Nakamoto Inc just made a bold capital move. The Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company sold roughly 600 BTC and related
Nakamoto Inc just made a bold capital move. The Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company sold roughly 600 BTC and related derivatives, pulling in $48M in net proceeds, and immediately used $45M of that to pay down debt.
This is one of the clearest examples of BTC treasury company deleveraging seen in 2026 so far.
After the sale, the company still holds 4,467 Bitcoins on its balance sheet. At BTC prices around $63,000–$64,000, that stack sits at roughly $280M–$290M in value. Selling 600 coins represents around 12% of what the firm previously held, a targeted, calculated move.
The firm also refinanced its remaining $165M USDT loan with Kraken at a new interest rate of 7.75%, down from the previous rate of approximately 8%. Part of that loan, $105M, now extends to June 2027. The firm projects around $4M in annual interest savings from this refinancing.
The board did not stop at debt reduction. It formally approved a $25M share repurchase program, active through year-end. That kind of authorization shows how the management is thinking about shareholder value too and not just survival.
The recent news also came alongside a key regulatory win. Nakamoto regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, removing the delisting risk that had been hanging over the company.
NAKA Share price reacted sharply to all of this:Intraday jump of roughly 20% at $2.96 on the announcement before setting cool
Closed up 9.5% at around $4.47, compared to the previous close of roughly $4.08
Still remains well below 2025 highs, which sat north of $34 on a pre-split adjusted basis

Nakamoto is not a pure BTC holding company. It owns BTC Inc., which operates Bitcoin Magazine and The Bitcoin Conference. It also controls UTXO Management, an asset management arm. The company went public through a SPAC reverse merger in 2025 and has faced heavy dilution since then.
This Nakamoto Bitcoin update for 2026 shows a firm trying to reset. Lower interest costs, a cleaner balance sheet, and Nasdaq compliance all reduce near-term pressure. CEO David Bailey has also been buying shares personally, which adds another layer of confidence signaling.
For the broader market, corporate Bitcoins sales like this add minor selling pressure but nothing market-moving at scale.
Bitcoin price today sits at $63,644.94, up 1.79% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $1.27T and 24-hour trading volume of $28.59B.
