KindlyMD, Inc. (NASDAQ:KDLY, "KindlyMD"))), a leading provider of integrated healthcare services, today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Nakamoto Holdings Inc. ("Nakamoto"), a Bitcoin-native holding company, to start a Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Nakamoto is a new holding company founded by David Bailey. In partnership with BTC Inc, Nakamoto seeks to build the first global network of Bitcoin treasury companies. This is the first step in Nakamoto's vision for an ecosystem of Bitcoin-native companies, including media, advisory, and financial services, that exist to accelerate Bitcoin adoption and utility.
The combined company will aim both to accumulate Bitcoin and grow the Bitcoin owned on a per share basis, or Bitcoin Yield, through a variety of equity, debt and other offerings. This merger gives the public market exposure to Bitcoin within a compliant, transparent structure backed by a uniquely experienced Bitcoin management team, including a partnership with one of the world's most influential Bitcoin marketing platforms.
The PIPE financing attracted participation from over 200 investors across six continents, including global investment firms and leaders across the Bitcoin ecosystem. Institutional investors include Actai Ventures, Arrington Capital, BSQ Capital Partners, Kingsway, Off the Chain Capital, ParaFi, RK Capital, Van Eck, and Yorkville Advisors, alongside individuals including Adam Back, Balaji Srinivasan, Danny Yang, Eric Semler (CEO of Semler Scientific), Jihan Wu, Ricardo Salinas, and Simon Gerovich (CEO of Metaplanet). YA II PN, Ltd., an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors, was the sole convertible note purchaser.
Upon the close of the transaction, the combined company will be led by Founder and CEO David Bailey, a leader within the Bitcoin ecosystem and an influential advocate for hyperbitcoinization, the inflection point at which Bitcoin becomes the default value system of the world. As Co-Founder and CEO of BTC Inc – the company behind Bitcoin Magazine and the global annual Bitcoin Conferences – and General Partner of Bitcoin-focused investment firm UTXO Management, Mr. Bailey has built industry-leading platforms at the heart of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Mr. Bailey will be supported by a seasoned management team with decades of experience operating in the Bitcoin space.
