The Scythe of Bitcoin's Leading Figure: A Record of a Nasdaq Robbery

This investigation details a sophisticated financial scheme orchestrated by David Bailey, CEO of Nakamoto Holdings ($NAKA). Through a reverse merger with a shell company, NAKA's stock skyrocketed from $2 to over $30, luring retail investors while early PIPE investors entered at just $1.12 per share. The stock then collapsed by 99% to $0.29. Amid the crash, Bailey engaged in desperate debt refinancing, accruing massive losses. He then used the crippled public company to acquire his own private firms, BTC Inc and UTXO Management, at a fixed share price of $1.12—nearly four times the market rate. This acquisition, approved by shareholders during the stock's peak without their full understanding, resulted in massive dilution for existing investors. The entire operation, while technically compliant, transferred wealth from retail investors to insiders. Bailey, who compared himself to historical financial dynasties, ultimately used the wreckage of the public company to enrich himself and his private empire, showcasing a brutal intersection of influencer culture and public markets.
