Last December, Nasdaq sent Nakamoto a warning after its stock price dropped below $1 for 30 straight trading days.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to fix that is June 8, and the fix the company has chosen is a 1-for-40 <a href=\"https:\/\/nakamoto.com\/updates\/nakamoto-announces-1-for-40-reverse-stock-split\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reverse stock split<\/a>, set to take effect Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The move was approved by shareholders at a special meeting earlier this month. Under the plan, every 40 shares get combined into one, shrinking the total share count from 696 million down to 17.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>The stock closed at 16 cents Wednesday \u2014 down 7.5% for the day and more than 99% below where it traded a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>A reverse split does not change a company\u2019s overall market value.

Reports indicate that crypto treasury companies broadly have been in a downturn since 2025, with many trading below the value of the assets on their books.<\/p>\n<p>Some have begun selling their Bitcoin holdings to pay down debt. One company, Genius Group, liquidated its entire 84 Bitcoin reserve in February for that purpose.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nakamoto sold 284 Bitcoin on the last day of March just to keep the lights on.
