Nakamoto sold 284 Bitcoin on the last day of March just to keep the lights on. That detail, buried in the company’s first-quarter financial results, tells the story of where one of the country’s Bitcoin treasury companies now stands.<\/p>\n

A Company Running Low On Options?<\/h2>\n

The Bitcoin accumulation strategy that once drove Nakamoto’s stock above $25 a share has given way to something far less glamorous \u2014 selling Bitcoin to cover operating costs.<\/p>\n

The company reported<\/a> a net loss of $238 million for the first quarter of the year, with more than $102 million of that tied to a drop in the value of its Bitcoin holdings after the cryptocurrency fell 20% during the quarter. Revenue jumped 500% quarter over quarter, but the losses swamped those gains.<\/p>\n

Nakamoto<\/a> holds 5,058 Bitcoin, making it the 20th largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world, just behind ProCap Financial.<\/p>\n

Michael Saylor’s Strategy<\/a> sits at the top of that list with more than 843,000 Bitcoin on its balance sheet \u2014 a gap that makes clear how far down the pecking order Nakamoto falls.<\/p>\n

Following Stockholder Approval, Nakamoto Announces 1-for-40 Reverse Stock Split to be Effective May 22, 2026<\/p>\n

Racing The Clock On Nasdaq<\/h2>\n

The company is now focused on a more immediate problem: staying listed on the Nasdaq. Last December, Nasdaq sent Nakamoto a warning after its stock price dropped below $1 for 30 straight trading days.<\/p>\n

The deadline to fix that is June 8, and the fix the company has chosen is a 1-for-40 reverse stock split<\/a>, set to take effect Friday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The move was approved by shareholders at a special meeting earlier this month. Under the plan, every 40 shares get combined into one, shrinking the total share count from 696 million down to 17.4 million.<\/p>\n

The stock closed at 16 cents Wednesday \u2014 down 7.5% for the day and more than 99% below where it traded a year ago.<\/p>\n

A reverse split does not change a company’s overall market value. It is a structural adjustment<\/a> designed to push the price per share above a listing threshold.<\/p>\n

Consolidation Ahead For The Sector<\/p>\n

Nakamoto’s troubles are not unique. Reports indicate that crypto treasury companies broadly have been in a downturn since 2025, with many trading below the value of the assets on their books.<\/p>\n

Some have begun selling their Bitcoin holdings to pay down debt. One company, Genius Group, liquidated its entire 84 Bitcoin reserve in February for that purpose.<\/p>\n
