David Bailey’s Nakamoto Winds Down Healthcare Operations Ahead of Full Bitcoin Company Transition

TL;DR

  • Nakamoto closed its legacy healthcare clinics on June 19, completing the main operating wind-down inherited from the KindlyMD merger.
  • The company is shifting toward Bitcoin media, information services, asset management, consulting and advisory businesses designed to generate recurring revenue.
  • Nakamoto holds 4,467 BTC worth about $278.5 million, reported a $238.8 million first-quarter net loss and has seen its shares fall more than 99% since peaking after its 2025 pivot.

Nakamoto Inc. has closed its legacy healthcare clinics, marking a decisive step in David Bailey’s effort to turn the company fully into a Bitcoin-focused operating business. The clinics ceased operations on June 19, completing the main wind-down of the medical business inherited through the 2025 merger with KindlyMD. The move is oddly direct: a company that entered public markets through healthcare is now abandoning that operating history because Nakamoto’s real business is becoming Bitcoin accumulation and services, not patient care or clinic management.

The transition centers on a Bitcoin operating model built around media and information services, asset management, consulting and advisory work designed to generate recurring revenue. Additional administrative activities tied to the healthcare wind-down are expected to finish in the third quarter of 2026. That timing matters because the pivot is nearing operational completion, not merely strategic branding. KindlyMD’s healthcare operations had continued through Kindly LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, while Nakamoto pursued its broader transformation into a digital asset treasury company.

Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Replaces Legacy Healthcare

Nakamoto was formed through its merger with KindlyMD, which raised about $540 million in gross proceeds from PIPE financing to fund Bitcoin purchases. That placed the company among the 2025 wave of Bitcoin-focused digital asset treasury firms, alongside names such as Twenty One Capital, backed by Tether and Strike founder Jack Mallers. As of June 23, Nakamoto held 4,467 BTC valued at approximately $278.5 million. Still, its treasury scale remains modest beside larger peers, with Strategy holding 847,363 BTC worth $52.9 billion and Twenty One Capital holding 43,514 BTC.

The financial picture remains complicated. Nakamoto reported a $238.8 million net loss in the first quarter of 2026, driven largely by non-cash losses tied to Bitcoin holdings and its investment portfolio, plus transaction and integration costs from recent acquisitions. Shares closed at $4.09 on Tuesday, down 2.85% on the day, and have fallen more than 99% since peaking after the KindlyMD merger announcement and Bitcoin accumulation push in May 2025. For shareholders, the healthcare exit sharpens the investment thesis, but it also removes any ambiguity around exposure: Nakamoto is now a Bitcoin operating company, with all the volatility that identity brings. The next test is execution beyond balance sheet exposure alone as the clinic chapter ends for good.
