Kindly MD, Inc. (NASDAQ:KDLY) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced a merger agreement with Nakamoto Holdings to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) treasury.

The Details: The transaction includes $510 million in Private Investment In Public Equity (PIPE) funding and $200 million in convertible notes in order to launch the treasury.

The combined company will aim both to accumulate Bitcoin and grow the Bitcoin owned on a per share basis, or Bitcoin Yield, through a variety of equity, debt and other offerings. 

This deal represents the first part of Nakamoto’s goal to create an ecosystem of Bitcoin-native companies that exist to accelerate Bitcoin adoption and utility.

“Traditional finance and Bitcoin-native markets are converging. The securitization of Bitcoin will redraw the world’s economic map. We believe a future is coming where every balance sheet – public or private – holds Bitcoin. Nakamoto seeks to be the first publicly traded conglomerate designed to accelerate that,” said David Bailey, Founder and CEO of Nakamoto.
