Nakamoto Inc. has closed its remaining legacy healthcare clinics, completing a pivot that leaves the company focused entirely on Bitcoin operations. The move, effective this week, ends a years-long experiment in running physical medical centers and signals a full embrace of digital assets as the firm's sole business line.
Clinics closed, staff let go
The company said it shut down all of its healthcare facilities earlier this month. Employees at those clinics were notified of the closures in late May. Nakamoto Inc. had operated the clinics since 2021, offering primary care and telemedicine services. The shutdown marks a clean break from the healthcare sector.
The Bitcoin turn
Nakamoto Inc. has been shifting toward Bitcoin-related work for the past year. It started by allocating a portion of its treasury to BTC, then began offering custody and trading services. Now, with the clinics gone, the entire firm is devoted to building Bitcoin infrastructure — mining, wallet software, and merchant processing. The company says the pivot allows it to concentrate resources on one market.
What the shift could mean
The abandonment of healthcare isn't just a corporate restructuring — it may reflect a broader trend of traditional industries shedding non-core assets to chase crypto growth. The flip side is that it could slow healthcare innovation. Nakamoto's clinics had experimented with blockchain-based medical records and Bitcoin payment rails. Those projects are now on hold. Whether other firms pick up that work is an open question.
For now, Nakamoto Inc. is a pure-play Bitcoin company. The next concrete milestone is the launch of its new mining pool, expected in August. No word yet on whether former clinic patients can still access their records.
