Nakamoto Posts First Positive Adjusted Operating Income, Despite $133M GAAP Net Loss
Bitcoin operating company Nakamoto Inc. dropped its first quarterly results on Thursday, marked by a wide GAAP net loss in what the company is calling a turning point in its underlying operations. The Nashville-based company posted total operating revenue of $35.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, split between $25.6 million from its media and asset management units and $10.4 million from its Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy, according to a Thursday statement. Nakamoto shares (NASDAQ: NAKA) rose more than 2% Thursday morning in New York. On a GAAP basis, Nakamoto reported an operating loss of $149.1 million and a net loss of $133.0 million, or $6.65 per diluted share — driven largely by a $105.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment and $48.7 million in mark-to-market losses on its Bitcoin holdings. Stripping out those non-cash items, the picture looks different: adjusted operating income came in at $7.3 million, which the company says is its first positive adjusted operating income since it became a Bitcoin operating company. “This quarter we delivered the first positive adjusted operating income since Nakamoto became a Bitcoin operating company,” David Bailey, the company’s Chairman and CEO, said, pointing also to a roughly $45 million reduction in outstanding debt and the extension of about $105 million in loan principal to June 2027. The quarter also brought a major structural shift: Nakamoto completed the closure of its legacy healthcare clinics on June 19, 2026, finishing its transition into a pure-play Bitcoin operating company. The board authorized a $25 million share buyback and added Chief Investment Officer Tyler Evans as a director. Nakamoto’s asset management arm, UTXO Management, launched a new structured credit fund and said it guided a client vehicle, the 210k Capital Fund, through what it described as the first cleared Bitcoin Depositary Receipt trade settled via traditional prime brokerage and DTCC infrastructure — a milestone the firm frames as a step toward integrating Bitcoin products into mainstream financial markets. Separately, the 210k Capital fund itself fell 5% for the quarter, outperforming a 14% decline in Bitcoin over the same period. The company’s media unit, BTC Inc., generated $22.6 million from its flagship Bitcoin 2026 conference and announced a new daily video network, BM TV, along with new institutional-focused events aimed at connecting corporate executives and capital allocators with the Bitcoin industry. Nakamoto ended the quarter holding 4,467 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $261.5 million. Bitcoin Magazine is published by BTC Inc, a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc.
