Reverse Stock Split Proposed to Meet Nasdaq Requirements
Shareholders will vote on an amendment to combine outstanding shares by a ratio of 1-for-20 to 1-for-50, at the board's discretion. The primary goal is to increase the per-share price to meet Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and avoid delisting, as the stock currently trades at $0.24.

Increased Dilution Potential from Existing ATM Program
The reverse stock split will effectively increase the number of authorized but unissued shares. This, in conjunction with the company's existing $5 billion at-the-market (ATM) offering program re-filed on April 9, 2026, creates significant potential for future dilution of existing stockholders.

Special Shareholder Meeting Scheduled
The virtual special meeting of stockholders is scheduled for May 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, where shareholders will vote on the reverse stock split and an adjournment proposal.

Nakamoto Inc. has filed its definitive proxy statement (DEF 14A) for a special meeting on May 8, 2026, seeking shareholder approval for a reverse stock split. This follows the preliminary proxy (PRE 14A) filed on April 7, 2026. The proposed split ratio, at the board's discretion, will be between 1-for-20 and 1-for-50. The primary objective is to increase the per-share trading price to meet Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as the stock currently trades at $0.24. Failure to comply could lead to delisting. The reverse split will also significantly increase the number of authorized but unissued shares, which, combined with the existing $5 billion at-the-market (ATM) program re-filed on April 9, 2026, creates substantial potential for future dilution. This move is critical for the company's continued listing on a major exchange but underscores ongoing financial challenges, including recent Bitcoin sales below acquisition costs.
At the time of this filing, NAKA was trading at $0.25 on NASDAQ in the Crypto Assets sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $170.1M. The 52-week trading range was $0.21 to $34.77. This filing was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10.
