Nakamoto: Trump's advisor enters the Bitcoin world with 300 million!

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc. and advisor to former US President Donald Trump on cryptocurrency issues, has successfully raised $300 million for his new investment firm “Nakamoto”. This company, named after the pseudonym of the alleged Bitcoin founder, has ambitious goals in the field of Bitcoin investments. The capital raising, which began in January, was only recently publicly announced. Bailey wants to develop Nakamoto into a major institutionalized investor in the Bitcoin sector.

With the investment allocation of $200 million in equity and $100 million in convertible notes, Nakamoto is focusing on an international expansion strategy that aims to acquire companies in emerging markets, particularly Brazil, Thailand and South Africa. These plans mark an active approach that goes beyond traditional Bitcoin holdings. Bailey sees Bitcoin not just as a digital currency, but as a strategic asset that can contribute to national security and economic development.

Strategic direction and IPO

Nakamoto plans to go public on NASDAQ in summer 2025. This could be the first pure-play Bitcoin investment company to list on a major US exchange. The upcoming IPO is supported by Bailey's ties to Trump, which may provide the company with political backing. The company aims to provide institutional investors with regulated access to Bitcoin-based investments and uses a strategy that consists of a combination of Bitcoin investments and strategic corporate engagement.

The planned expansion into international markets aims to promote cryptocurrency capitalization and strengthen Bitcoin's influence in global finance. These trends could have a significant impact on the role of Bitcoin, especially in economically weak regions.

Market development and competition

Nakamoto's business model is in direct competition with other notable players in the Bitcoin space, most notably Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy. Saylor is known for his company starting converting cash into Bitcoin in 2020, becoming one of the largest institutional investors in the space. As Nakamoto continues to find his place in the market, it is clear that merging equity and debt to raise capital is a growing trend among Bitcoin investment firms.

With a clear focus on growth in an increasingly digital financial world, Bailey and Nakamoto have managed to attract both notable investors and an advisory board of industry figures. This strategic direction could pave the way for a new wave of innovation in Bitcoin, attracting both institutional and individual investors.

The developments surrounding Nakamoto and Bailey's vision could have far-reaching consequences in the perception and use of Bitcoin within the global economy.
