Details
KindlyMD (NAKA), the publicly traded entity on Nasdaq that merged with Nakamoto—a bitcoin treasury firm—has successfully finalized a $200 million convertible note offering. This financing will bolster its intention to increase its bitcoin inventory.
The terms of the notes include no interest for the first two years, followed by a 6% rate starting in the third year until maturity in 2028. The funds will specifically be allocated for purchasing additional bitcoin.
Moreover, Yorkville Advisors’ YA II PN fund has managed this financing with atypical conditions. If they opt to convert the debt into equity, it raises the possibility of dilution, as noted by James Van Straten, a senior analyst at CoinDesk. Furthermore, KindlyMD must pledge collateral valued at twice the principal amount in bitcoin to provide robust protection against potential risks.
NAKA shares experienced a decline of 11.2% on Monday, coinciding with the announcement of this convertible capital raise along with a downturn in bitcoin prices. Other associated bitcoin treasury entities also faced minor losses, though their declines were comparatively less significant.
