Semler Scientific Grows Bitcoin Portfolio With 297 BTC Purchase

by

As a seasoned researcher and analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I find the recent moves by companies like Semler Scientific to invest in Bitcoin quite intriguing. The strategic decision to acquire Bitcoin as a reserve asset is reminiscent of the gold rush of the late 1800s, but in this case, it’s digital gold we’re talking about.

Semler Scientific, a company that trades on Nasdaq and focuses on healthcare technology, has bought an extra 297 Bitcoins for approximately $29.1 million. This acquisition takes place as Bitcoin is moving closer to the significant price level of $100,000.

Semler Scientific Expands BTC Holdings

Today, the company revealed its newest Bitcoin purchase, timed with a slight dip in Bitcoin’s price from its recent peak above $98,000. Now, Semler Scientific holds 1,570 Bitcoins in total, having acquired 297 more at an accumulated cost of $117.8 million. This equates to an average price of approximately $75,039 per Bitcoin for their reserves.

As per the recent statement, the most recent Bitcoin purchase took place from November 18th to November 22nd. A total of 297 Bitcoins were acquired at an average cost of approximately $97,995 per coin, accounting for fees and additional costs.

As a crypto investor, I’m thrilled to share that Semler Scientific, where I serve as a key player, has reported impressive growth in our Bitcoin Yield returns. Over the period from October 1st to November 22nd, our Bitcoin Yield stood at an impressive 37.1%. Although this figure is slightly lower compared to our previous return from July 1st to November 22nd, which was approximately 58.4%, it still represents a substantial gain in the crypto market. Eric Semler, the CEO of Semler Scientific, commented on these results, expressing his satisfaction with the company’s performance in the ever-evolving world of digital currencies.

We’re excited to share that we’ve achieved an impressive 58.4% return on Bitcoin (BTC) investments, and we’re diligently working to increase our Bitcoin holdings in a manner that significantly benefits our shareholders.

In May, Semler Scientific revealed they had chosen to hold Bitcoin as a key strategic reserve asset. Their initial investment in Bitcoin amounted to 581 Bitcoins, which were valued at approximately $40 million based on the current market rates.

Last month, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings by 83 more Bitcoins, which were valued at approximately $5 million based on current market values. It’s also worth mentioning that just this month, Semler Scientific acquired an additional 47 Bitcoins for roughly $3 million.

US Strategic Reserve Speculations Igniting Bitcoin FOMO

Semler Scientific’s recent acquisition of Bitcoin corresponds with escalating conjecture regarding the establishment of a United States National Bitcoin Reserve (NBR). Entities such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet are likewise augmenting their Bitcoin holdings in line with this speculation.

For those unfamiliar, the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump, is anticipated to set up a National Sovereign Bond Reserve (SBR). Such a decision might spark a worldwide trend where businesses and countries start amassing Bitcoin, a digitally scarce resource.

If the Trump administration establishes a national SBR (Stablecoins Backed Reserve), the United States might follow nations such as El Salvador and Bhutan, who are already stockpiling Bitcoin as a means to safeguard their economies from potential macroeconomic risks.

If the United States decides to start buying Bitcoin, it could be a major positive factor in Bitcoin’s history. As Donald Trump’s inauguration date approaches, various organizations are preparing ahead to profit from any potential changes in U.S. Bitcoin policy.

At this moment, Bitcoin is being traded for approximately $95,980, marking a 0.3% decrease over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the cumulative value of all cryptocurrencies stands at around $3.47 trillion, showing an increase of 1.2% over the same period.
