Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto sold 600 BTC to reduce debt, but the Nasdaq-listed firm still faces roughly $60 million coming due in December, keeping near-term balance-sheet pressure firmly in focus.

The sale was framed around debt reduction, refinancing and a share repurchase authorization, the company said. It did not signal a full exit from its bitcoin treasury strategy.
The decision echoes a wider pattern of treasury operators tapping their coins for liquidity, similar to how Riot Platforms sold 4,300 bitcoin to fund operations rather than abandoning its holdings.
Even after the sale, Nakamoto still faces about $60 million due in December, according to reporting from Decrypt on the Nakamoto restructuring.
That means the BTC sale eased pressure but did not eliminate the near-term financing issue. The December maturity leaves the company’s liquidity position unresolved heading into year-end.
The dynamic mirrors other treasury firms actively managing obligations, as when Strategy sold bitcoin to buy back STRC and later sold additional bitcoin to strengthen cash reserves.
Using bitcoin holdings to service debt ties a company’s solvency schedule to a volatile asset, a tension that surfaces whenever maturities approach. Nakamoto’s move shows relief now, but not resolution.
Some operators post coins as collateral instead of selling, as seen when MARA pledged bitcoin for a financing facility, underscoring the range of tools treasury firms use to bridge liquidity gaps.
