Q & A

What is the main objective of Nakamoto Holdings after acquiring Kinley MD?

The main objective of Nakamoto Holdings is to acquire Bitcoin, pump its value, and compound Bitcoin. The company plans to use its media platforms, including Bitcoin Magazine and conferences, to drive attention, raise equity, and make strategic Bitcoin purchases. Eventually, they aim to dominate the Bitcoin ecosystem and become a major player in the crypto-fintech space.

What does the capital stack look like for Nakamoto Holdings, and how is it structured?

The capital stack of Nakamoto Holdings includes a $510 million PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) at $112 per share and a $200 million secured convertible note. The PIPE equity investors get a large share of the company, and the convertible note is backed by Bitcoin collateral, with an interest structure starting at 0% and increasing over time. This structure is designed for high leverage and risk, with significant Bitcoin exposure.

How is the $200 million convertible note secured?

The $200 million convertible note is secured by Bitcoin collateral. The company is escrowing two times the value of the note in Bitcoin, around $400 million. The collateral is phased and unlocked as the principal is repaid, with the BTC held in cold storage, acting like a financial safety net.

What is the significance of the PIPE investors being able to sell immediately after the merger?

The PIPE investors being able to sell immediately after the merger increases the liquidity risk in the market. With over 450 million shares in free float, the price discovery process could be volatile. However, the insiders are locked for a period of 90 to 180 days, and the media strategy is designed to absorb this free float with demand and attention.

How does Nakamoto Holdings plan to use media to its advantage?

Nakamoto Holdings owns Bitcoin Magazine and runs the largest Bitcoin conference. By leveraging these media platforms, the company aims to turn every article, panel, or keynote into a liquidity event, effectively influencing both retail and institutional investors. This media presence helps to drive demand and absorption of the free float of shares.

What are the risks associated with the Nakamoto Holdings strategy?

The main risks involve Bitcoin price volatility, which could trigger collateral top-ups on the convertible note. There's also the risk of overhang from the PIPE investors’ shares being unlocked, but this is mitigated by the media strategy. Additionally, the regulatory environment, particularly with the SEC, could pose challenges. However, Nakamoto Holdings operates with a fully regulated custody model, reducing risk exposure.

What is the collateral covenant, and how does it work?

The collateral covenant requires Nakamoto Holdings to escrow Bitcoin equal to two times the value of the convertible note. This Bitcoin is held in cold storage and unlocked in phases as the debt is repaid. This serves as a financial safeguard, ensuring that even if Bitcoin prices fluctuate, the company can meet its obligations.

What does the company’s treasury strategy involve?

The company’s treasury strategy involves using a tight leverage ratio of 1.5x, where every dollar of debt is backed by at least 66 cents of Bitcoin. This conservative leverage ensures that Nakamoto Holdings maximizes its Bitcoin exposure without overextending itself, making it more resilient to market volatility.

What is the significance of the 'Nakamoto Covered Call Trust'?

The Nakamoto Covered Call Trust is a yield-generating vehicle that sells volatility on Bitcoin and cycles the option premium back into Bitcoin accumulation. This strategy allows Nakamoto Holdings to generate income while accumulating more Bitcoin, enhancing its treasury without selling any of its holdings.

What are the different scenarios for Nakamoto Holdings' equity value based on Bitcoin prices?

There are three main scenarios based on Bitcoin prices: 1) If Bitcoin reaches $100,000, the company’s equity value would be around $800 million, offering a 43% gain from the PIPE price. 2) If Bitcoin reaches $150,000, the equity value could rise to $1.83 billion, a 3x return. 3) If Bitcoin hits $210,000, the equity value could soar to $3.5 billion, providing a 6.3x return on equity.
