Nakamoto stock hits 52-week low after $239M Q1 loss
Nakamoto hit a 52-week low after reporting a nearly $239 million Q1 net loss; it sold 284 BTC plus 40 BTC received as premiums and still holds over 5,000 BTC.
Nakamoto Holdings reported a net loss of nearly $239 million for the first quarter and its shares fell to a 52-week low. The stock traded as low as $0.16 before moving to about $0.166, more than 99.5% below its 52-week high of $34.77.
The company recorded roughly $2.7 million in revenue for the quarter. About $1.1 million, or 41% of revenue, came from an actively managed derivatives strategy used to generate income from its crypto holdings.
To support working capital, Nakamoto sold 284 BTC in the quarter, equivalent to about $22 million at recent prices, and an additional 40 BTC it received as premiums, valued at roughly $3.2 million. Those sales exceeded the roughly $20 million of Bitcoin the company sold in the prior quarter.
After the disposals, Nakamoto still holds more than 5,000 BTC on its balance sheet, a position the company values at over $400 million. Bitcoin was trading around $80,000 and remains about 35.8% below its all-time high of $126,080.
Nakamoto CEO David Bailey called the quarter “transformational,” noting the company has formally shifted from a medical firm to a Bitcoin-focused operating company. Bailey said the firm will focus on scaling operations, expanding revenue opportunities and building shareholder value through capital allocation and long-term conviction in Bitcoin. He also posted on social media: “Bitcoin isn’t just sitting idle on our balance sheet. We believe it can be managed strategically.”
Share trading reflected investor reaction to the results and the broader crypto market. The company reported that its active treasury management-combining derivatives strategies and periodic sales-aims to generate revenue and fund operations while retaining a substantial Bitcoin position. Nakamoto outlined execution priorities for the remainder of 2026, including scaling its operating businesses and pursuing revenue growth.
