Anchorage Digital to become the exclusive custodian and trading partner

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2025 / Nakamoto Holdings Inc. ("Nakamoto"), Kindly MD, Inc. (NASDAQ: KDLY) ("KindlyMD"), and Anchorage Digital today announced a strategic partnership to advance the future of corporate Bitcoin adoption. Through this partnership, Anchorage Digital, home to the only U.S. federally chartered digital asset bank, will provide exclusive custody and trading services to KindlyMD for its Bitcoin treasury operations once the merger with Nakamoto closes.

Nakamoto, a holding company founded by Bitcoin visionary David Bailey, and KindlyMD aim to establish a Bitcoin treasury strategy with their recently announced merger agreement. The parties secured approximately $710 million in financing, including approximately $510 million in a PIPE, marking the largest PIPE for any public crypto-related transaction.

"In the not-so-distant-future, the omission of Bitcoin on a balance sheet will be more glaring than its inclusion. Until then, companies like Nakamoto-KindlyMD are pioneering a new path forward-one in which Bitcoin is at the heart of corporate strategy."

- Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital

"Our goal is to bring Bitcoin to the center of global capital markets within a compliant, transparent structure. We are excited to partner with Anchorage Digital to implement our vision with the highest levels of security and battle-tested infrastructure and enable us to deliver sustained value to shareholders."

Their institutional-grade platform allows us to confidently hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset as we look to unlock access to Bitcoin and drive value for the long term."

- Tim Pickett, CEO of KindlyMD
