Semler Scientific strengthens its bet on Bitcoin with new purchase of 167 BTC
Semler Scientific, a company specialized in medical technology, has intensified its diversification strategy by acquiring an additional 167 Bitcoins, bringing its total reserves to 3,634 BTC. The acquisition, valued at approximately $9.7 million, demonstrates the company's growing confidence in Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
In a statement, Semler highlighted BTC as "a reliable store of value" and "a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation." The decision reinforces the trend of non-financial companies adopting Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasury — a strategy popularized by names like MicroStrategy.
With this purchase, the total value of the company's Bitcoin assets exceeds $210 million, considering the current exchange rate. Semler's movement may signal a broader shift in the behavior of listed companies, which are starting to see BTC not only as a speculative investment but as a strategic part of capital allocation.
This approach reinforces the narrative of the institutionalization of Bitcoin in the global financial landscape.
