Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA), the parent company of Bitcoin Magazine and Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXO) Management, has launched a new Bitcoin Derivatives Program that is intended to generate recurring yield through volatility and provide a hedge against a decline in price. The Bitcoin derivatives program is executed through a separately managed account through Bitwise and Kraken. A defined portion of Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings will act as collateral for the derivatives program.
Structure of the Bitcoin Derivatives Program
The Bitcoin derivatives program is managed in two parts:
- The income component of the program generates premium income by writing covered calls and call spreads against a defined portion of Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings, which converts implied volatility into recurring revenue.
- The hedging component of the program generates premium income by purchasing protective puts and put spreads to establish protection from negative price changes.
* The hedging component’s premium payments will be partially funded through the premium income generated from the income component.
For instance, Bitcoin held as collateral for written option positions continues to be owned by the company and remains reflected in its publicly reported Bitcoin holdings. On the other hand, protective positions are held in addition to, not instead of, spot Bitcoin holdings. To this point, a risk framework governs the program, which includes maximum notional exposure, permitted instruments, counterparties, and collateral.
The Importance Of These Strategies
Unlike most investors who just want to “buy and hold” or use passive yield strategies, Nakamoto has a much different philosophy on how to invest in the crypto world. The company believes that by actively managing both Hedging and Income sleeves, investors can monetize what Tyler Evans (Chief Investment Officer) refers to as “one of the longest lasting mis-priced assets in capital markets” through Bitcoin’s Implied Volatility, while simultaneously reducing their risk of being forced to deleverage when markets are stressed. The financial results for Q1 2026 will be included in the Company’s upcoming 10-Q filing.
