Some Hedge Fund Investors Skeptical About Bitcoin, Eric Semler: Actually the Best Asset
Chairman of Semler Scientific, a health technology company, Eric Semler stated that some of his colleagues in Hedge Funds still express their skepticism towards Bitcoin (BTC). However, he feels proud to continue acquiring Bitcoin and acknowledges that Bitcoin is the best hedge for the future.
“I think they (the skeptics) see it as an obscure strategy and that this strategy may decline significantly after the Trump administration,” Semler said, as reported by Coin Stories, Thursday (06/19).
As is known, Eric highlighted how all policies of the President of the United States (US) Donald Trump impacted the global market, especially tariffs on trading partner countries. Even though the global market was affected, Bitcoin remained positive and resilient.
In fact, at the same time, after the tit-for-tat tariffs led to a trade agreement between the US and China, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of US$111,970 on May 23, 2025.
Therefore, observing this skepticism, Semler sees the doubt from the traditional financial industry as an optimistic signal, especially since he continues to make money.
“When you bet on something that the majority of people do not trust, and you are right, you will make more money. I think we have a great opportunity to show others that they are basically missing out on a great opportunity,” Semler continued.
For your information, according to BitcoinTreasuries, Semler Scientific currently holds 4,449 Bitcoin with current profits reaching US$460 million. In fact, recently, Semler Scientific targeted an accumulation of 105,000 Bitcoin in the next three years.
