NakamotoReports First Quarter 2026 Results


CompletedCreation of Bitcoin Operating Company with February Acquisitions of BTC Inc and UTXO Management

NASHVILLE,Tenn.May 13, 2026 – Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA) (“Nakamoto” or the “Company”), today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Q1Operational & Financial Highlights


Completion<br> of the acquisitions of BTC Inc. and UTXO Management GP, LLC (“UTXO Management”)<br> on February 20, 2026, establishing Nakamoto’s foundational operating businesses across<br> media, asset management, and advisory.
Launched<br> an actively managed Bitcoin derivatives strategy designed to generate yield on treasury assets<br> and enhance capital efficiency while managing downside exposure.
Reported<br> total operating revenue of $2.7 million, including:
$1.6<br> million from operating businesses.
--- ---
$1.1<br> million from Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy.
Reported<br> a net loss of $238.8 million, primarily driven by non-cash and transaction-related items,<br> including:
--- ---
$102.5<br> million mark-to-market loss resulting from the decline in Bitcoin price during the quarter.
--- ---
$107.7<br> million non-cash reduction in the cumulative gain from the Company’s pre-acquisition<br> call option.

Held<br> more than 5,000 Bitcoin as of March 31, 2026, with an aggregate fair value of approximately<br> $345 million at quarter-end.
--- ---

“The first quarter marked a transformational period for Nakamoto as we formally transitioned into a Bitcoin operating company,” said David Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of Nakamoto. “During the quarter, we completed the acquisitions of BTC Inc. and UTXO Management and began integrating the foundational businesses we believe position Nakamoto for long-term growth across the Bitcoin ecosystem. While our reported results reflect only a partial quarter of contribution from these businesses, as well as softer Bitcoin pricing during the period, we remain highly confident in the long-term earnings power of the company we are building. Our focus for the remainder of 2026 is execution — scaling our operating businesses, expanding revenue opportunities, and continuing to build durable shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation and long-term conviction in Bitcoin.”

ForwardLooking Statements


All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “create,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “guidance,” “look,” “goal,” “future,” “build,” “focus,” “continue,” “strive,” “allow,” “seek,” “see,” “aim,” “target,” or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the anticipated benefits, synergies, and strategic impact of the acquisitions of BTC Inc. and UTXO Management; the integration of acquired businesses and expected integration costs and timelines; the Company’s Bitcoin treasury and asset management strategy, including the deployment and management of its Bitcoin holdings; the Company’s Bitcoin derivatives program, including the expected generation of yield on treasury assets, capital efficiency, and the effectiveness of hedging strategies; capital allocation plans; the planned wind-down of legacy healthcare operations and the expected timeline for completion; expectations regarding the scaling of operating businesses and expansion of revenue opportunities; the Company’s financial outlook, strategic initiatives, business plans, and growth strategies; and anticipated operational performance for future periods. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve numerous assumptions and risks. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to: (i) the volatility of Bitcoin prices and its impact on the Company’s financial results, including mark-to-market gains and losses on Bitcoin holdings; (ii) the acquisitions of BTC Inc. and UTXO Management may not provide the anticipated benefits, including the inability of the acquired businesses to maintain or grow their current levels of earnings, the Company’s inability to successfully realize cross-selling opportunities, or difficulties and unanticipated costs relating to integration; (iii) risks related to the Company’s existing indebtedness, including collateral requirements, covenant compliance, and cross-default risk; (iv) regulatory developments affecting digital assets and the Company’s business operations; and (v) other important factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as updated by the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other documents that are filed, or will be filed, with the SEC and that are or will be available on the Company’s website at www.nakamoto.com and on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.

All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Nothing contained herein constitutes an offer to buy or sell securities of Nakamoto or any other party, nor does it constitute a solicitation of any proxy or vote. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures consisting of Adjusted operating loss and fully diluted shares outstanding. We define Adjusted operating loss as the removal of the change in fair value of digital assets, loss on investments, depreciation and amortization, transaction-related compensation and transaction-related general and administrative expenses from our operating loss (“Adjusted operating loss”). 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 (“fully diluted shares outstanding”). 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 its 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 provide consistency and comparability with past and future financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations, or outlook. 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 loss and fully diluted shares outstanding, 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.
