- Nakamoto secures $300M to launch as a global Bitcoin investment and acquisition firm.
- Firm plans to use BTC as both a treasury reserve and a cross-border acquisition tool.
- The strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s model, targeting emerging markets with BTC-backed expansion.
David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc. and a Trump crypto advisor, is opening a new Bitcoin organization called Nakamoto. According to individuals with direct knowledge, the firm has already raised $300 million from private investors and plans to go public later this year via a reverse merger.
This has involved issuing new shares worth $200 million and convertible debt of $100 million. The development signals another institutional-scale entry into the Bitcoin investment sector, drawing parallels to Michael Saylor’s widely known corporate strategy at MicroStrategy.
While Bailey has declined to comment publicly, sources describe the company’s operational approach as heavily aligned with Bitcoin treasury management. Nakamoto will reportedly invest its Bitcoin reserves directly into acquired companies, forming a network of subsidiaries across targeted global markets. These include countries in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, specifically Brazil, Thailand, and South Africa.
Targeting Global Growth Through Bitcoin Deployment
While not a traditional investment firm, Nakamoto plans to use Bitcoin as a treasury reserve and a means to acquire and integrate companies into their corporate structure. This strategy follows a broader trend of the role of digital assets in financial planning. Instead of passively holding Bitcoin, Nakamoto intends to use it actively in their expansion model.
The company’s global expansion strategy involves identifying suitable acquisition targets in developing markets with scalable operations. After purchasing these companies, Nakamoto would fund them, at least partially, with the firm’s Bitcoin holdings, thereby absorbing them into his organization. “This is essentially for viewing Bitcoin as an investment vehicle and a working reserve for cross-border capital provisioning,” a source familiar with the plans said.
This unfolds as the institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a corporate strategy continues to advance. Market observers point out that some have interpreted the Trump administration’s current regulatory tone as more yielding to the crypto structure of financials. Nakamoto’s emergence is, in this sense, a product of this environment.
Drawing Parallels to the Saylor Playbook
The company’s strategy is widely seen as an evolution of the Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet model popularized by Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy. Starting in 2020, Saylor converted a part of his company’s cash reserves into Bitcoin, making MicroStrategy one of the biggest public companies to hold Bitcoin worldwide. Since then, it has become a Bitcoin price follower regarding stock performance.
Not just Nakamoto has followed this path. Similar frameworks have been adopted by other ventures like Jack Mallers’ Twenty One. Backed by financial heavy hitters like SoftBank and Tether, Mallers’ firm has raised billions to fund Bitcoin holding operations, providing traditional investors with BTC exposure through equity.
Advisory Strength and Market Positioning
Yet, according to insiders, Nakamoto’s board of advisors includes plenty of prominent people from finance and the crypto world. The team has not yet been named publicly, but it is said to be experienced, influential, and able to support Nakamoto in multiple markets and asset classes.
The move places the company among an emerging group of financial firms trying to redefine that utility beyond a speculative investment. Backed by private capital and with the mentorship of established industry figures, Nakamoto is expected to become a high-volume Bitcoin vehicle with a global reach.
