Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology firm listed on Nasdaq, has announced an ambitious long-term strategy to substantially grow its Bitcoin reserves. The company targets acquiring 10,000 BTC by the conclusion of 2025 as its first benchmark. Following that, it plans to scale its holdings to 42,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
By the end of 2027, Semler aims to hold a total of 105,000 BTC.
As detailed in the official release, Semler Scientific plans to finance its upcoming Bitcoin acquisitions through a combination of equity offerings, debt instruments, and internal cash flow. In May 2024, the company became the second publicly traded U.S. firm to designate Bitcoin as its core treasury reserve, positioning itself as a major corporate holder since then.
By June 3, 2025, the company reported a 287% yield on its Bitcoin holdings, with unrealized profits totaling $177 million.
To reinforce this strategic direction, Semler has brought on board Joe Burnett as Director of Bitcoin Strategy. Previously serving as Director of Market Research at Unchained, Burnett offers over seven years of specialized experience in Bitcoin education and market analysis.
Eric Semler, Chairman of Semler Scientific, commented,
As we carry out our three-year plan to buy 105,000 Bitcoins, we are overjoyed to have Joe as the leader of our Bitcoin strategy. Joe’s analytical expertise and leadership in Bitcoin finance make him a valuable asset as we strengthen our treasury model and work toward long-term shareholder value.”
A growing number of publicly traded firms are expanding their exposure to the leading cryptocurrency. As an example, AI-powered education provider Genius Group recently boosted its Bitcoin holdings from 66 BTC to 100 BTC by acquiring an additional 34 BTC, estimated at $3.42 million.
The company resumed its accumulation on May 22, following a U.S. Court of Appeals decision on May 6 that removed prior legal barriers linked to its merger dispute with FatBrain AI. CEO Roger Hamilton called the 100 BTC mark a significant achievement toward their larger objective of acquiring 1,000 BTC.
In a separate move earlier this month, Mercurity Fintech Holding, headquartered in New York, revealed plans to secure $800 million in funding to establish a dedicated Bitcoin reserve. The firm intends to implement tokenized finance strategies and staking mechanisms, leveraging secure blockchain-based custody to transform its treasury framework and enhance capital efficiency through yield-focused models.
