Bitcoin Frenzy: 105,000 BTC or Bust! ๐Ÿš€

And so, dear reader, the grand farce of corporate Bitcoin accumulation continues to unfold. Semler Scientific, a California-based healthcare-technology firm, has declared its intention to amass a staggering 105,000 BTC within the next three years. One cannot help but wonder if this is a case of fiscal prudence or sheer folly. ๐Ÿค”

The company’s plan, spearheaded by its newly appointed director of Bitcoin strategy, Joe Burnett, is nothing if not ambitious. By December 2025, Semler aims to own at least 10,000 BTC; by the end of 2026, 42,000 BTC; and by 2028, the full 105,000 BTC. The total value of this treasure trove? A mere $11 billion at today’s prices. ๐Ÿ’ธ

But, alas, Semler is not alone in this wild goose chase. The company is merely the latest participant in a frenzied game of corporate Bitcoin accumulation. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, 130 listed firms now hold a combined 832,597 BTC, or 3.96 percent of the eventual 21-million-coin supply. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Semler’s chairman, Eric Semler, waxed poetic about the company’s Bitcoin strategy, saying, “We are excited to have Joe join our Bitcoin strategy team and help drive our three-year plan to own 105,000 Bitcoins.” One wonders if Mr. Semler has considered the arithmetic behind this goal, which is, to put it mildly, punishingly steep. ๐Ÿ“Š

At a constant BTC price of $105,000, acquiring 100,551 additional coins would require roughly $10.6 billionโ€”equal to more than 200 times Semler’s trailing-twelve-month revenue. A daunting task, indeed. ๐Ÿค‘

And yet, despite the challenges ahead, Semler remains undeterred. The company will finance its Bitcoin blitz with a blend of operating cash flow, fresh equity, and convertible-debt issuanceโ€”a tactic honed over the past year via its $500 million ATM program. ๐Ÿ’ธ

As the great Bitcoin accumulation war heats up, one cannot help but wonder who will emerge victorious. Will it be Semler Scientific, with its ambitious 105,000-BTC goal? Or will it be another contender, such as Metaplanet, which is chasing 210,000 BTC? Only time will tell. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

At press time, BTC traded at $104,326. ๐Ÿ“Š
