\nNakamoto Inc. ($NAKA) to Acquire BTC Inc and UTXO Management<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA) announced today that it has entered into merger agreements to acquire BTC Inc, the leading provider of Bitcoin-related media and events, and UTXO Management GP, LLC (\u201cUTXO\u201d), an investment firm focused on private and public Bitcoin companies (collectively, the \u201cTransaction\u201d).<\/p>\n

The Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter this year, subject to customary closing conditions, and will be financed entirely with Nakamoto common stock in accordance with Nakamoto\u2019s call option under the Marketing Services Agreement (the \u201cMSA\u201d), using a price of $1.12 per share. The Company\u2019s option to acquire BTC Inc and UTXO, through BTC Inc\u2019s call option with UTXO, was previously disclosed as part of Nakamoto\u2019s proposed merger with Nakamoto Holdings, Inc. (\u201cNakamoto Holdings\u201d).<\/p>\n

The MSA, outlines the terms of the Company\u2019s option and was publicly filed and approved by the Company\u2019s shareholders in connection with that transaction. Following shareholder approval, Nakamoto, BTC Inc, and UTXO engaged in extensive joint marketing initiatives across BTC Inc\u2019s media and events platforms. Nakamoto exercised its call option with BTC Inc and BTC Inc exercised its call option with UTXO concurrently with signing of the merger agreements.<\/p>\n

The Transaction is intended to further establish Nakamoto as a diversified Bitcoin operating company with a global brand, established distribution networks, and institutional capabilities across media, asset management, and advisory services. BTC Inc and UTXO are expected to provide recurring earnings to strengthen the Company\u2019s balance sheet and support growth initiatives, including additional Bitcoin accumulation and strategic acquisitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing BTC Inc and UTXO into Nakamoto has been a part of our vision since day one,\u201d said David Bailey, Chairman and CEO of Nakamoto. \u201cWe intend to operate a portfolio of companies across media, asset management, and advisory services that can scale with Bitcoin\u2019s long-term growth. BTC Inc and UTXO are global leaders in Bitcoin media and asset management. This transaction signifies the first step of the company we intend to build, and we\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Transaction will be financed entirely with Nakamoto common stock in accordance with Nakamoto\u2019s call option under the MSA, using a price of $1.12 per share. BTC Inc and UTXO securityholders will receive, on a fully diluted basis, 363,589,816 shares of Nakamoto common stock, subject to customary purchase price adjustments at closing, The combined value of this consideration is $107,295,354, before any such customary purchase price adjustments, which is based on Nakamoto\u2019s closing price on February 13, 2026, of $0.2951.<\/p>\n
