🚨 Semler Scientific Eyes 105,000 BTC by 2027 — The Next MicroStrategy?
Semler Scientific (Nasdaq: SMLR) has officially thrown its hat into the Bitcoin big leagues with a bold plan to accumulate 105,000 BTC by 2027, positioning itself as the next corporate giant to fully embrace the Bitcoin Standard. On Thursday, the healthcare tech company announced the hiring of Joe Burnett as its new Director of Bitcoin Strategy, marking a strategic pivot toward deep crypto integration.
As part of this aggressive expansion, Semler will initially target 10,000 BTC by 2025, then 42,000 BTC by 2026, and ultimately reach 105,000 BTC within three years. The company plans to fund these purchases through a mix of equity, debt, and operational cash flow — the same bold playbook used by MicroStrategy under Michael Saylor.
Semler currently holds 4,449 BTC, valued at approximately $464 million as of June 2025. Since adopting its Bitcoin strategy in May 2024, the company has realized a staggering 287% return — translating to $177 million in unrealized gains. Its initial foray into Bitcoin began with the purchase of 581 BTC for $40 million in May 2024, followed by 929 BTC for $63 million in August.
Burnett, formerly with Blockstream, stated, “Semler Scientific is committed to massively growing its Bitcoin treasury in a highly accretive manner for stockholders, guided by a long-term conviction that Bitcoin is the ultimate long-duration asset to hold.”
📈 The market clearly responded. Semler’s stock surged nearly 11% on Thursday following the announcement.
With this ambitious roadmap, Semler Scientific becomes the second U.S. public company after MicroStrategy to officially pursue a long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy — a move that could reshape its identity from medical tech innovator to a hybrid firm with serious crypto credentials.
