Nakamoto owes Kraken $165M, more than the market says it is worth

Nakamoto has restructured its debt to Kraken, deferring near-term repayment on a $165 million obligation that exceeds the company's current market valuation. The agreement eases immediate liquidity pressure but leaves the bitcoin-focused development firm's long-term solvency and shareholder value in question. The gap between the Kraken liability and Nakamoto's implied market worth means the exchange's claim effectively outranks equity holders. The deal buys Nakamoto time rather than resolving the underlying imbalance. What to watch next is whether the company can grow its way back above the debt load or must return to Kraken for further concessions.
