Semler Scientific Sets Ambitious Goal to Compete with Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries

Semler Scientific, a publicly traded company, plans to buy 105,000 Bitcoin by 2027. Recently, it appointed Joe Burnett as Director of Bitcoin Strategy and secured an additional 185 BTC for $20 million. Currently, the company holds about 4,449 BTC valued at approximately $446 million. They aim for substantial growth in their Bitcoin treasury, which has already shown impressive yields this year.

Semler Scientific is making significant strides in the world of cryptocurrency. This company, which is the second U.S. publicly traded firm to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, announced its ambitious plan to acquire a staggering 105,000 BTC by 2027. The timeline for this strategy includes purchasing at least 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025, and ramping that up to 42,000 by 2026.

In its ongoing effort to boost its crypto holdings, Semler Scientific recently purchased 185 BTC for around $20 million. This brings their total Bitcoin holdings to 4,449 BTC, equating to roughly $446 million at the current trading value. Notably, their average cost per Bitcoin sits at $92,158, a figure that reflects their strategic investment approach.

Chairman Eric Semler expressed enthusiasm over these developments, particularly with the recent appointment of Joe Burnett as Director of Bitcoin Strategy. Semler stressed that Burnett’s knowledge and experience would be crucial for executing their three-year plan aimed at significantly increasing their Bitcoin assets. “This strategy not only strengthens our balance sheet but also aims to provide long-term benefits for our stockholders,” he added.

The company has shown impressive returns since embracing the Bitcoin Standard in May 2024. According to Semler, they’ve managed to yield a remarkable 287% in Bitcoin yield and have racked up a gain of $177 million through June 3, 2025. In fact, their year-to-date BTC yield stands at 26.7%, showcasing a solid performance.

Joe Burnett painted a picture of a changing financial landscape, claiming that Bitcoin is being recognized as a superior form of money. With corporate interest in Bitcoin booming, he believes Semler is on track to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries globally. The adoption of Bitcoin, according to him, is really pushing into mainstream territory.

In terms of financial performance, SMLR stock saw a notable increase, closing 11.95% higher at $31.94 on Thursday. Semler Scientific plans to secure more Bitcoin through a mixture of equity and debt financing, complemented by cash flows from operations.

Currently, Bitcoin is floating around $104,755, managing to hold its ground amid ongoing geopolitical challenges in the Middle East. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin’s price is under pressure as more than $3.3 billion in BTC options are due to expire today, signaling potential volatility in the market.

Could the upward trajectory of Bitcoin ETF inflows, which reached $2.4 billion in just eight days, signal a rally for the Bitcoin price? That remains to be seen, but Semler’s assertive strategies in the crypto market certainly underscore its rising importance in corporate finance.
