- Nakamoto (NAKA) stock plunged over 10% on Wednesday following a recent 1-for-40 reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq’s minimum share price requirements.
- The company’s shares have fallen approximately 67% year-to-date and more than 99% from their May 2025 peak of about $34, recently trading around $0.16 before the split.
- The broader Bitcoin treasury sector faces a predicted consolidation in 2026, with analysts forecasting that only one or two major players will dominate each asset class.
The stock of Bitcoin treasury firm Nakamoto (NAKA) fell sharply this week, dropping over 10% on Wednesday just days after executing a reverse stock split to avoid being delisted from the Nasdaq exchange. This latest decline continues a devastating trend for the company, whose shares are down roughly 67% since the start of the year.
Nasdaq had warned Nakamoto in December that its shares faced delisting after trading below $1 for at least 30 consecutive days, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. Consequently, the company completed a 1-for-40 reverse split last Friday, reducing outstanding shares from about 696 million to roughly 17.4 million, according to an official announcement.
However, Nakamoto has significantly underperformed its larger competitors amid a sector-wide downturn that began in 2025. Meanwhile, industry leader Strategy (MSTR) is up about 2.5% year-to-date, while Strive Asset Management (ASST) has gained over 20%.
Venture firm Pantera Capital has forecast a tough road ahead for the digital asset treasury space. Analysts there forecast in January that “2026 will see brutal pruning,” with only one or two dominant players remaining in each major asset class.
