Semler Scientific, a publicly traded healthcare technology company, has announced an ambitious plan to significantly expand its Bitcoin holdings. The company aims to increase its Bitcoin treasury to 105,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
As part of its ambitious plan, Semler Scientific intends to hold 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025, followed by 42,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2026. The final goal is to reach 105,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2027. The company plans to achieve these targets through equity and debt financings, as well as cash flows from its operations.
Eric Semler, the chairman of Semler Scientific, shared the company’s excitement about the new strategy and the hiring of Joe Burnett.
“We are excited to have Joe join our Bitcoin strategy team and help drive our three-year plan to own 105,000 Bitcoins,” he stated.
The company has already made notable progress since adopting Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset in 2024, achieving a 287% BTC yield and a $177 million Bitcoin gain as of June 2025.
Joe Burnett, once a former employee at Unchained and Blockware Solutions is now to pioneer the Bitcoin strategy at Semler Scientific. His task will be to oversee the growth of the company in Bitcoin wealth and make sure that the strategy is profitable.
Burnett’s expertise in Bitcoin and corporate treasury management will be essential as Semler Scientific works toward becoming one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally.
In his statement, Burnett emphasized the growing trend of Bitcoin adoption among corporations. “The trend to adopt Bitcoin as part of corporate treasury is clearly accelerating,” he noted. “Semler Scientific, as the second U.S. public company to adopt the Bitcoin Standard, has been at the forefront of this movement.”
As of early June 2025, Semler Scientific holds approximately 4,449 Bitcoins, which are valued at around $462 million. The company is among the top 15 corporate holders of Bitcoin, though it is still behind larger players in the industry.
The decision by the company to stack more Bitcoin comes as part of a larger trend wherein more companies are using Bitcoin as a store of value in the long term.
The move towards Bitcoin by Semler Scientific fits into a bigger pattern with more publicly traded firms being willing to use Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Today, there are almost 230 companies around the world who have integrated Bitcoin into some aspect of their treasury strategy. Semler’s move places it in a competitive position to benefit from the growing demand for Bitcoin and its increasing role in global finance.
Semler Scientific will use a mix of equity financing and debt financing to finance its Bitcoin purchases, as well as use its existing cash flow. This plan will help optimize the result of acquiring Bitcoin with minimal risk.
This strategy is further championed by a previous announcement made by the company in April 2025, when it announced a $500 million securities offering to finance the purchase and hold Bitcoin.
Semler Scientific seeks to expand its Bitcoin portfolio through the use of various financial instruments to achieve this swiftly. The strategy of the company to invest in Bitcoin primarily as a store of value is consistent with its long-term belief in the potential of Bitcoin to become a superior form of money.
