The board authorized a $25 million share buyback and added Chief Investment Officer Tyler Evans as a director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakamoto&#8217;s asset management arm, UTXO Management, launched a new structured credit fund and said it guided a client vehicle, the 210k Capital Fund, through what it described as the first cleared Bitcoin Depositary Receipt trade settled via traditional prime brokerage and DTCC infrastructure \u2014 a milestone the firm frames as a step toward integrating Bitcoin products into mainstream financial markets. Separately, the 210k Capital fund itself fell 5% for the quarter, outperforming a 14% decline in Bitcoin over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company&#8217;s media unit, BTC Inc., generated $22.6 million from its flagship Bitcoin 2026 conference and announced a new daily video network, BM TV, along with new institutional-focused events aimed at connecting corporate executives and capital allocators with the Bitcoin industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakamoto ended the quarter holding 4,467 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $261.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bitcoin Magazine is published by BTC Inc, a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc.
