Bitcoin Firm Nakamoto Extends $165M Loan as Stock Value Falls Below Debt
Kraken gave Nakamoto more time to repay its 165 million USDT loan and will count derivatives value in collateral tests, easing pressure on the bitcoin holder.
- Yesterday, an 8-K filing disclosed that Nakamoto extended 60 million USDT of its Kraken loan to December 4, 2027. The amendment, signed Wednesday, pushes back the maturity date for that specific portion of the company's debt.
- Nakamoto's total debt stands at 165 million USDT, which originated last December at $210 million with an 8% annual interest rate. The company relies on these funds, secured by its bitcoin holdings, to support its ongoing business operations.
- Quarterly reports filed this week show 3,030 of the company's 4,283 BTC were pledged to Kraken at the end of September. The exchange also agreed to count the net value of bitcoin derivatives positions toward loan collateral requirements.
- Tyler Evans, Nakamoto's chief investment officer, stated the amendment "extends our runway and makes our collateral position more resilient." CoinDesk calculations indicate the pledged bitcoin is worth roughly $208 million, about 126% of the company's total outstanding loan obligations.
- With 105 million USDT due June 30, 2027, Nakamoto has no further repayments required this year. The company holds about 1,253 unpledged bitcoin, worth roughly $86 million at today's price, to manage its future financial obligations.
