Nakiki SE, a listed company in Frankfurt, Germany, announced on the 27th that it is evaluating the issuance of tens of millions of euros of corporate bonds, and the funds raised will be mainly invested in Bitcoin. According to the official press release, the company has entered the "preliminary market exploration" stage and will first learn about pricing and interest rates from professional investors.

Copying Strategy's path, timing and risk coexist

Nakiki SE has publicly stated that its goal is to become the first listed company in Germany with Bitcoin as its core reserve asset. The strategy is similar to Strategy's "debt-to-coin" model in the United States. The company also launched a U.S. expansion plan and hired consultant Andreas Heine in order to expand its influence in the expected friendly U.S. regulatory environment.

If the bond is successfully issued, Nakiki’s stock price will be more closely linked to the trend of Bitcoin, providing investors with an alternative way to access crypto assets. However, in order to compensate for the high volatility of Bitcoin, investors may demand higher coupons; once the price drops, the company will face asset impairment and fixed interest pressure at the same time.

For shareholders, the lines are beginning to blur as to whether Nakiki is still a financial technology company, or a Bitcoin ETF in disguise. In the coming weeks, professional investors' responses to bond conditions will become the most direct vote of confidence and will also provide a key reference for European companies to follow suit.
