Semler Scientific has announced plans to acquire more Bitcoin adding to its total BTC holdings. The firm noted that it plans to sell stock for general corporate purposes, including purchasing more Bitcoin. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might delay the process a little because of their current crypto stance.

“So the SEC has been… we’ve been waiting for a while now for the SEC to approve it. They’ve had comments on our Bitcoin strategy which will become public information but they’re not friends with crypto or Bitcoin so I think they are gonna take their time before they approve our filing but we are hoping that will happen soon and that will enable us to buy more Bitcoin.”
