Nakamoto’s $107M BTC Inc, UTXO deal reshapes Bitcoin media

Nakamoto inks $107.3M all-stock deal for BTC Inc, UTXO to scale Bitcoin media and treasury platform.

Nakamoto, a bitcoin treasury firm founded by entrepreneur David Bailey, announced the acquisition of BTC Inc. and UTXO Management in an all-stock transaction valued at over $107 million, according to a company statement.

The deal includes BTC Inc., which operates Bitcoin Magazine and The Bitcoin Conference, as well as UTXO Management, an investment firm that backs bitcoin treasury companies. Shareholders will receive 363,589,816 shares on a fully diluted basis, the company said.

Bailey stated the acquisitions align with Nakamoto’s strategy to operate a portfolio spanning media, asset management, and advisory services. The transactions exercised prior call options, allowing Nakamoto to acquire BTC Inc. while BTC Inc. concurrently acquired UTXO Management, according to the announcement.

The acquisitions provide recurring revenue for Nakamoto, diversifying the company’s operations beyond capital markets activities. Other bitcoin treasury companies in the sector include Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, and Twenty One Capital.

Bailey indicated that Nakamoto has no plans to sell its bitcoin holdings except under extreme prolonged price declines, signaling a continued accumulation strategy.

Industry analysts have noted a consolidation trend among bitcoin treasury companies, with firms combining media, advisory, and investment services to strengthen recurring revenue streams. Through the acquisitions of BTC Inc.’s established brands and UTXO’s investment operations, Nakamoto aims to expand its institutional presence and operational scale, according to market observers.
