Healthcare tech firm Semler Scientific Inc. plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings from 3,808 BTC to 105,000 BTC by 2027, aiming for 10,000 BTC by end of 2024. The company will use equity, debt financing, and operational cash flow to reach its target. Semler ranks 13th in public companies’ Bitcoin holdings.
Semler is following a trend of publicly traded firms buying Bitcoin, with some prioritizing purchases over core business operations. Reaching 105,000 BTC would mean holding 0.5% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet also aims to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027.
Joe Burnett, a Bitcoin researcher, will lead Semler’s Bitcoin strategy as the new director. Burnett previously worked at Unchained and Blockware Solutions in the Bitcoin industry. He stated that the adoption of Bitcoin in corporate treasury is accelerating.
VanEck crypto researcher Matthew Sigel advised public companies buying Bitcoin to reconsider their strategies if stock prices drop significantly. He warned about potential issues with large at-the-market programs for Bitcoin purchases. Semler’s stock price is down nearly 41% this year.
Semler has seen a 287% Bitcoin yield and an unrealized gain of $177 million on its Bitcoin investments as of June 3. It has the fourth-highest Bitcoin per share among 130 Bitcoin-holding public companies tracked. Bitcoin per share indicates the direct exposure each share offers to Bitcoin and its impact on stock value.
