KindlyMD, a publicly traded healthcare company on the Nasdaq that also invests in Bitcoin, has significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings. Through its Nakamoto Holdings subsidiary, the company purchased 5,743.91 Bitcoin at an average cost of $118,204.88 each, totaling $679 million. This acquisition is the first since KindlyMD finalized its merger with David Bailey’s Bitcoin-centric firm, also named Nakamoto Holdings, on August 9, 2025 [3]. The purchase was financed using proceeds from a private investment in public equity (PIPE), reinforcing the company’s dedication to a strategic Bitcoin treasury approach [1].
This $679 million investment exceeds MicroStrategy’s recent $51.4 million Bitcoin acquisition by over thirteenfold and underscores KindlyMD’s ambitious plan to accumulate one million Bitcoin. CEO David Bailey believes Bitcoin is “the premier reserve asset for both corporations and institutions,” emphasizing the company’s confidence in the digital asset‘s importance in the future of global finance [3]. Bailey, who has also advised former U.S. President Donald Trump on cryptocurrency, previously announced plans to raise $200 million for a political action committee (PAC) to champion Bitcoin’s interests in the United States [3].
KindlyMD’s action reflects a growing trend of companies embracing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The company is developing a unique business model, integrating healthcare services with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. This hybrid approach positions KindlyMD at the intersection of traditional healthcare, encompassing primary care, pain management, and alternative treatments, and the burgeoning field of digital asset management [3].
The timing of this significant acquisition is noteworthy, considering Bitcoin’s history of price volatility. KindlyMD’s substantial investment demonstrates a strong belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value and potential. The company has publicly stated that it intends to hold the acquired Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset and has no immediate plans to sell [1].
This acquisition coincides with increasing corporate and institutional interest in Bitcoin. For example, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is aiming to raise $3.7 billion to establish its own Bitcoin treasury, with the goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027. Furthermore, Bitwise’s head of European research, André Dragosch, suggests that increased corporate Bitcoin adoption and possible inclusion in U.S. 401(k) plans could contribute to Bitcoin reaching $200,000 by the close of 2025 [3].
Despite the company’s optimistic outlook on Bitcoin, KindlyMD’s stock performance has been negative. Shares have decreased by over 12% since the merger with Nakamoto Holdings was initially announced on May 12 [1]. This decline highlights the market’s varied responses to integrating digital assets into corporate treasuries. Nevertheless, KindlyMD remains focused on pursuing its long-term strategic vision.
