Medical Tech Company Wants to Raise More Cash to Buy Bitcoin

As a seasoned investor with a keen eye for emerging opportunities, I find Semler Scientific’s decision to double down on Bitcoin intriguing. Having witnessed the meteoric rise of MicroStrategy and its strategic Bitcoin acquisition, I can’t help but see parallels between the two.


According to Eric Selmer, the chairman of medical technology firm Semler Scientific, it is their plan to acquire additional Bitcoin.

At present, the publicly-listed corporation is actively investigating further avenues to acquire more funds, which could potentially be used to purchase Bitcoins.

In simpler terms, Selmer commends the “intelligence and advantages” of adopting a strategy similar to MicroStrategy’s debt conversion into Bitcoin.

According to U.Today’s report, the company made the move to acquire the largest cryptocurrency back in May. At that time, Selmer expressed his belief that Bitcoin serves as a safeguard against inflation. Emulating MicroStrategy’s strategy led to a significant surge in the firm’s stock value in the short term.

As a crypto investor, I’m thrilled to announce that my Bitcoin holdings have now exceeded the $1 million mark. This puts me amongst the top-tier holders of the premier cryptocurrency among non-crypto public companies. However, it’s important to remember that this is just the beginning for corporate Bitcoin adoption. We’re still in the early stages of this game-changing technology’s growth trajectory.

As an analyst, I find myself reflecting upon the company’s shift towards Bitcoin, but regrettably, their stocks have fallen short this year. At present, they are experiencing a decline of up to 32%, measured against the year-to-date benchmark.

Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that Metaplanet, a Japanese firm employing a strategy similar to MicroStrategy in Bitcoin, has just been included in the CoinShares’ BLOCK index.

MicroStrategy continues to dominate the corporate world’s Bitcoin holdings, currently sitting on an impressive $17.3 billion worth of Bitcoin. The Virginia-based company has no intentions of slowing down; they recently unveiled plans to raise an additional $42 billion in the future, with the aim of further increasing their cryptocurrency assets.
