Nakamoto (NAKA) has officially transformed into a Bitcoin operating company. The financial report shows that due to the decline in Bitcoin prices, the company incurred a net loss of nearly $239 million in the first quarter. As a result, its stock price hit a historic low of $0.16 on Thursday, down more than 99.5% from its 52-week high. The company's total revenue for the first quarter was $2.7 million, of which $1.1 million came from derivatives strategies.To meet working capital needs, the company sold 284 Bitcoins in the first quarter, worth approximately $22 million, and additionally sold 40 Bitcoins as revenue, worth about $3.2 million. Currently, Nakamoto still holds over 5,000 Bitcoins, with a holding value of over $400 million.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin company Nakamoto announced its quarterly financial report, showing a 500% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth, but a net loss of $238.8 million, primarily impacted by a $107.7 million non-cash impairment related to pre-acquisition options and an unrealized loss of $102.5 million from its holding of 5,058 bitcoins.Of Nakamoto's revenue, over $1.1 million came from its new Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy, $800,000 from its media business, $500,000 from healthcare, and $200,000 from asset management services. The company completed its acquisition of Bitcoin news agency BTC Inc. and investment platform UTXO Management in February, which contributed to some of its revenue. The company did not purchase any bitcoins in the first quarter but sold 284 bitcoins on March 31 for operating expenses.Nakamoto's stock price has fallen over 99% this year, with a slight increase of 2.7% to $0.18 in after-hours trading. The company plans to fully divest its healthcare business by the end of the second quarter and utilize its Bitcoin holdings to develop derivative strategies for generating revenue.

Alex Thorn, the research director at Galaxy, posted on the X platform that after in-depth discussions with several individuals in the Bitcoin industry regarding quantum computing and Bitcoin issues, he believes that the market is gradually reaching a consensus: First, the approximately 1.1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto (distributed across about 22,000 P2PK addresses) should not be casually used. If their property rights are infringed upon to address quantum risks, it could undermine the core value proposition of Bitcoin. Even in extreme cases where these BTC are transferred, the market has a strong absorption capacity and can further mitigate risks through solutions like "Hourglass."Second, promoting research, testing, and signature compression of new cryptographic technologies such as quantum-resistant (PQ) cryptography for Bitcoin is a positive direction. It can prepare emergency plans in advance, but care should be taken to avoid causing a consensus deadlock or introducing inadequately verified new risks by prematurely pushing for protocol layer implementation. Even if the quantum threat has only a 1% chance of impacting Bitcoin, it is worth continuing to invest in research.

According to market news, the Nasdaq-listed company Nakamoto announced its actively managed Bitcoin derivatives program, which will operate starting in the first quarter of 2026. The program aims to generate recurring volatility returns from a portion of the company's Bitcoin holdings and to hedge against some downside risk in Bitcoin prices.The program is managed by Bitwise Asset Management through a separately managed account, with the relevant Bitcoin held by Kraken's qualified custody solution as collateral. The strategy includes covered call options and call spreads on the income side, as well as protective put options and put spreads on the hedging side. Nakamoto stated that the premiums earned from the program could be used to cover hedging costs, increase Bitcoin holdings, or for general corporate purposes. The results for the first quarter of 2026 will be included in the quarterly 10-Q report for that period.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated on the X platform that the amount of Bitcoin currently held by Strategy has surpassed that of the world's largest Bitcoin ETF, IBIT. According to the current accumulation trend, Strategy is expected to surpass Satoshi Nakamoto in the next two years, becoming one of the largest Bitcoin-holding entities in the world.

The Bitcoin protocol Layer2 settlement network officially launched on April 6, achieving optimization and upgrades in on-chain data statistics and computing capabilities.In terms of technology, Layer2 supports deep cumulative calculations on-chain, which can more accurately reflect the on-chain team size and business data, improving processing efficiency in complex scenarios.In terms of governance, the protocol has transferred core permissions to a multi-signature contract, while adopting a dual-track governance model where developers and core community members each hold 50%, with an execution threshold of 65%, further enhancing decentralization.This upgrade completes the transition of the protocol to community autonomy, providing technical and governance references for the DeFi sector.

Last Saturday, there was intense discussion on social media regarding the potential impact of "quantum computers possibly invading Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet and dumping his holdings." This debate originated from a Bitcoin price chart shared by YouTuber Josh Otten, which showed BTC plummeting to $3. He stated that if a sufficiently powerful quantum computer were to successfully steal the approximately 1 million BTC held by the anonymous Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto and dump it onto the market, such a scenario is possible.In response, long-term Bitcoin holder Willy Woo said, "Many OGs (early Bitcoin holders) would buy in during such a flash crash. The Bitcoin network will survive; most Bitcoin will not face immediate risk." Woo further pointed out that about 4 million BTC are stored in P2PK (Pay-to-Public-Key) addresses, which include Satoshi's Bitcoin. These types of addresses expose the full public key directly on-chain when spent, making them theoretically more susceptible to quantum attacks.He added that once the full public key of a Bitcoin wallet is exposed on-chain, it could face quantum attack risks in the future—because, assuming sufficient computational power, a quantum computer could theoretically derive the private key from the public key. In contrast, newer types of Bitcoin addresses are not as easily susceptible to quantum attacks because they do not expose the full public key on-chain; if the public key is unknown, a quantum computer cannot generate the corresponding private key from it.
