Anchorage Digital named exclusive custodian for KindlyMD Bitcoin assets

SALT LAKE CITY - Nakamoto Holdings Inc., Kindly MD, Inc. (NASDAQ:KDLY), and Anchorage Digital announced a strategic partnership today, positioning Anchorage Digital as the exclusive custodian and trading service provider for KindlyMD’s Bitcoin treasury operations following their imminent merger.
