Kindlymd Shareholders Vote For Bitcoin Transition With Nakamoto Holdings Merger!

Reading time: 3 minutes

KindlyMD shareholders have approved a merger with Nakamoto Holdings, a company focused on managing BitcoinThis opens the door to the creation of a publicly traded conglomerate focused entirely on Bitcoin.

An important step in the crypto world

In an announcement on May 20, the U.S. healthcare provider said that both companies will now file information statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The merger is expected to close 20 days after this information is shared with shareholders, with completion expected in the third quarter of 2025.

Nakamoto Holdings' Strong Ambition

Nakamoto Holdings, led by Donald Trump’s crypto advisor David Bailey, is a newly formed entity focused on bringing together Bitcoin-native companies. This merger will provide Nakamoto Holdings with a gateway to the Nasdaq, allowing them to pursue their goal of positioning Bitcoin as an essential asset within the global capital markets.

Innovative financial strategy

The combined company plans to grow its Bitcoin holdings per share, a concept Bailey calls “Bitcoin Yield,” and to do so through equity, debt, and hybrid offerings. This means they will harness the power of Bitcoin to create value for their shareholders.

Change in focus

While KindlyMD will continue to operate its opioid addiction treatment and alternative therapy clinics, the core focus of the new entity will be financial, not medical. “We are grateful that KindlyMD shares our vision for a future where Bitcoin is a fundamental part of the company’s balance sheet, providing investors worldwide access to the greatest asset and store of value,” Bailey said in a statement.

A historic merger

The initial announcement of the merger was made on May 12. The goal was to create a network of Bitcoin-native companies, while using the pooled balance sheet to exchange Bitcoin (BTC) to collect. The details of the merger were presented alongside a $710 million capital raise, with Nakamoto securing $510 million via a private placement and $200 million via convertible notes. This is considered the largest PIPE in a public crypto-related transaction to date.

A new vision on balance boards

Bailey, who will serve as CEO of the merged entity, likens his vision to building a modern-day Rothschild or Morgan equivalent, but with Bitcoin as the reserve asset. “Every balance sheet, public or private, will have Bitcoin in it,” he has previously said. News of the merger sent shares of KindlyMD (KDLY) soaring more than 650% in premarket trading, closing at $20 on May 15,22, up 9% on the day and up a further 4,8% in after-hours. So far in 979, KDLY is up more than 2023%.

The Rise of Bitcoin as a Treasure Asset

With Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a corporate balance sheet asset, the merger between KindlyMD and Nakamoto Holdings adds to a broader movement of public companies globally integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategies. In healthcare, for example, Basel Medical Group recently entered exclusive negotiations to purchase up to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin. Semler Scientific is seeing a similar trend with its Bitcoin supply growing to 3.808 BTC as of May 21.

In Latin America, Brazilian fintech Méliuz has now become the first publicly traded company in the region to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset, following shareholder approval. In the Middle East, Al Abraaj Group has also kicked off its Bitcoin strategy with the purchase of 5 BTC and plans for further acquisitions. Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, was the first major public company to adopt Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset in 2020, recently revealing a $765 million purchase, adding 7.390 BTC to its balance sheet.
