Semler Scientific Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with $20 Million Investment

This latest buy was made on or between May 23 and June 3, 2025. This is the second purchase this year, following a May purchase when Semler Scientific invested $50 million to buy 455 BTC. Since May 2024, the company has gone aggressively to buy Bitcoin. This action is indicative of their belief in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency.

The company further believes Bitcoin to be a “digital gold” providing an alternative hedging instrument against inflation and monetary debasement. This perspective, despite the controversies surrounding the cryptocurrency, has propelled its sustained appropriation.
The company’s stock price has been on a tear in all of 2025. Semler Scientific’s Bitcoin purchases have sent market sentiment soaring. This has drawn in investors looking to help diversify their corporate treasury assets through crypto.
