Wow, institutions are really buying Bitcoin! They have bought so much!

Semler Scientific has purchased another 185 Bitcoins, bringing their total holdings to 4,449, with a total value of approximately $473 million.

On June 5, news broke that American medical technology company Semler Scientific announced a further increase in its Bitcoin holdings, spending $20 million to acquire 185 BTC from May 23 to June 3, with an average purchase price of $107,974 per coin, raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 4,449 coins, currently valued at approximately $473 million.

According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Semler has invested a total of $410 million since launching its Bitcoin reserve strategy in May 2024, with a current paper return rate of 26.7%. The company has consistently purchased Bitcoin over the past year, including a $10 million purchase from February to April this year and an additional $50 million purchase in May.

Despite the gradual advancement of its Bitcoin strategy, market reactions have been lukewarm. According to Google Finance data, as of June 4, 2025, Semler's stock price has dropped 37% this year, and has only risen about 16% since announcing its Bitcoin strategic transformation on May 29, 2024.

Additionally, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data, approximately 3.4 million BTC are held as reserves by various institutions, with the largest holders being ETFs and listed companies, followed by government agencies. Overall, companies adopting a BTC reserve strategy have shown mixed stock price performance in 2025, such as Strategy's stock price rising 33% this year, while Japan's Metaplanet saw its stock price soar by 265%.

Bitcoin's price volatility in 2025 has been significant, with a cumulative increase of 11.8% this year, reaching a historical high of $112,000 at one point, but also dipping below $77,000 due to trade wars and macroeconomic uncertainties.$BTC
