According to a filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the transaction took place on June 12, 2026. The total value of these direct purchases amounted to $64,365.
The shares were acquired at a weighted-average price of $0.613 per share. Individual transaction prices within this block ranged from $0.6051 to $0.6199. This acquisition occurs against a backdrop where the stock is trading near its 52-week low of $0.56, reflecting an 86% decline over the past year. Market analysis from InvestingPro suggests the stock may be undervalued at current levels, though the company's financial health is rated as "WEAK" due to ongoing liquidity challenges.
Following this direct purchase, Mr. Kirkwood's direct holdings in Fold Holdings common stock stand at 457,295 shares. His total beneficial ownership extends beyond direct holdings. Through SATS Credit Fund LP, where he serves as the managing member of SATS Credit Fund GP LLC, the general partner, he holds indirect beneficial ownership of 50,800 shares. Additionally, as co-founder and managing partner of LOW TIME PREFERENCE FUND II, LLC, he maintains indirect beneficial ownership of 3,365,299 shares.
These insider transactions come shortly after Fold Holdings reported first-quarter 2026 financial results that missed analyst expectations. The company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.59, significantly below the forecasted -$0.13. Revenue also fell short, coming in at $5.59 million compared to the anticipated $10.09 million.
In response to these financial pressures, Fold Holdings has undertaken strategic measures to strengthen its balance sheet. The company sold approximately $45 million worth of bitcoin. Of this amount, $20 million was used to eliminate secured debt, while the remaining $25 million was allocated to growth initiatives. Furthermore, Fold Holdings secured a $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Encina Lender Finance, LLC. This facility, designed to support the company's bitcoin rewards credit card program, is backed by consumer credit card receivables and includes an uncommitted accordion feature. These actions are part of broader efforts to improve cash flow and support business expansion.
