Semler Scientific Acquires 175 Bitcoin For $20.8M Between July 17, 2025 And July 23, 2025.

Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>) has announced the purchase of 19,683 Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), bringing its total Ethereum holdings to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46441190/600m-in-1-day-why-are-bitcoin-ethereum-etf-suddenly-so-bullish">approximately 120,306 ETH</a>.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bit-digital-inc-continues-expansion-of-ethereum-holdings-to-approximately-120-000-eth-reinforcing-treasury-strategy-302508632.html">acquisition</a> was funded through proceeds from a recently completed $67.3 million registered direct offering to institutional investors, reinforcing Bit Digital's position as one of the largest institutional holders of Ethereum among public companies.
&#8220;With approximately 120,000 ETH, Bit Digital is positioned among the largest institutional Ethereum treasuries in the public markets,&#8221; said CEO Sam Tabar. &#8220;We view Ethereum as foundational to the next phase of digital financial infrastructure.&#8221;
Bit Digital's strategy aligns with a broader industry trend of public and private firms incorporating digital assets, beyond Bitcoin, into their treasuries.
In March 2024, Semler Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) announced it had purchased 581 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) worth approximately $40 million at the time, following Strategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) playbook.
More recently, Thumzup Media Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TZUP#NASDAQ">TZUP</a>) authorized a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46491139/donald-trump-jr-backed-thumzup-media-approves-250m-in-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-sol-dogecoin-treasury-purchases"> $250 million crypto treasury diversification</a> that includes Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), and USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>).

Why It Matters: Companies like Bit Digital and Thumzup are expanding beyond Bitcoin-only strategies, betting on the broader utility of programmable assets like Ethereum and the transactional efficiency of stablecoins and altcoins.
"Ethereum&#8217;s programmable nature, growing adoption, and staking yield model represent the future of digital assets," Tabar noted. 
Bit Digital has been accumulating ETH since 2022 and currently operates one of the largest institutional Ethereum staking infrastructures globally.
The company actively stakes the majority of its ETH and runs validator nodes, participating in network governance while generating yield. 
This dual approach, asset exposure and protocol participation, reflects how some publicly traded firms are embedding themselves into the crypto economy while maintaining compliance with traditional market standards.
Ethereum continues to play a critical role across decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoin collateralization, and tokenized asset issuance. 
Bit Digital's move to deepen its Ethereum exposure echoes a strategic belief that ETH will underpin key financial and technical systems in the coming years.

Semler Scientific (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>), one of the earliest publicly traded U.S. companies to adopt Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a primary treasury reserve asset, announced Thursday that it plans to accumulate at least 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and expand that position to 105,000 BTC by the close of 2027. 
The company's <a href="https://ir.semlerscientific.com/news-releases/news-release-details/semler-scientificr-appoints-joe-burnett-director-bitcoin">strategy </a>echoes the aggressive accumulation paths taken by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and Metaplanet, signaling intensifying institutional competition in corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
Since adopting Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset in May 2024, Semler has achieved a 287% Bitcoin yield, generating an unrealized gain of $177 million as of June 3, 2025. 
"Since adopting the Bitcoin Standard, we have achieved approximately 287% BTC Yield and a $177 million BTC $ Gain through June 3, 2025," said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific. 
The firm currently holds 4,449 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $464 million, and plans to fund further acquisitions through equity offerings, debt financing, and operational cash flows.

Semler's strategy mirrors that of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with approximately 592,100 Bitcoin, valued at over $61 billion at current prices. 
MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has inspired firms like Semler to treat Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, using debt and equity to fuel acquisitions. 
Similarly, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has emerged as a major player, surpassing 10,000 Bitcoin in June 2025 and targeting 210,000 by 2027, equivalent to 1% of Bitcoin's 21 million fixed supply. 
Metaplanet's rapid accumulation, funded by a $5.4 billion share issuance, underscores Asia's growing appetite for corporate Bitcoin holdings.
Semler's announcement triggered an 11% surge in its stock price, closing at $28.53 on June 19, despite a 40% decline in 2025 overall. 
The company continues to operate its core healthcare business, marketing FDA-cleared products like QuantaFlo for cardiovascular diagnostics, which generates cash flow to support its Bitcoin strategy.

Semler Scientific also announced that it plans to hold 10,000 Bitcoins by year-end 2025, 42,000 by year-end 2026 and 105,000 by year-end 2027, using proceeds from equity and debt financings and cash flows from operations.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Tale of Two Subway Stations</h3>
Clips of grimy New York platforms versus sleek Moscow or Shanghai stations highlight capacity to deliver public goods rather than mere aesthetics. They hint at structural problems that precede—and ultimately produce—America's $34 trillion federal debt.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Problem #1: Resources Flow to Low‑Productivity Services</h3>
The care‑giving boom in New York City
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Between 2018 and mid‑2023, service hours in New York's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/longterm/cdpap/">Consumer‑Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)</a>&nbsp;more than doubled, even as traditional agency hours fell 19%.&nbsp;This is a program that basically pays people $20 to $28 per hour to do errands for their elderly relatives—in some cases, on a fulltime basis..</li>
<li>CDPAP wages now account for roughly&nbsp;one in eight&nbsp;private‑sector paychecks in NYC.</li>
<li>Home‑health jobs grew by 57 k last year (≈10 %).</li>
<li>Medicaid reimburses most of those wages, so the dollars come from federal borrowing, yet the output shows up mostly as consumption—not&nbsp;capital formation.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Problem #2: Tradables Hollow‑Out</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tradables share of 2023 GDP (manufacturing + mining/drilling + agriculture): 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>• United States ≈ 19 % • China ≈ 46 % • Russia ≈ 37 %</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trade balance, 2023: • United States:&nbsp;−$1.1 T&nbsp;goods &amp; services deficit • China:&nbsp;+$800 B&nbsp;surplus • Russia:&nbsp;+$235 B&nbsp;surplus</li>
<li>The U.S. goods‑and‑services gap widened to&nbsp;$140 B in March 2025, the largest monthly shortfall on record.</li>
<li>Borrowing to fund imported tradables is a double drag: it swells federal debt&nbsp;and&nbsp;diverts purchasing power abroad instead of into domestic plant, equipment, and infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Problem #3: Cost Disease in Public Works</h3>
Where did the $1.2 T Infrastructure Bill money go?
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Two‑plus years after passage, most "projects" remain in design or permitting. DOE progress reports celebrate&nbsp;jobs created, not roads or bridges finished.</li>
<li>Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore):&nbsp;struck in March 2024, geotech surveys began Jan 2025, full reopening&nbsp;target 2028.</li>
<li>Crimean Bridge (Russia):&nbsp;bombed Oct 2022, one lane reopened in 3 months, rail traffic restored in 9 months.</li>
<li>The contrast underscores America's permitting maze, fragmented ownership, and litigation risk that bloat costs and timelines.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Problem #4: Public‑Order Premium</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Washington has floated tying transit grants to crime benchmarks, but accurate data went dark when the FBI's NIBRS rollout left 30 %+ of agencies unable to report.</li>
<li>Early 2025 DOJ guidance&nbsp;now requires agencies to file both legacy summary and NIBRS data until compliance tops 95 %, making performance‑tied funding viable—if Congress acts.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How These Feed the Debt Loop</h3>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Low‑productivity domestic spending → weak real growth per borrowed dollar.</li>
<li>Trade‑deficit leakage → debt‑financed consumption instead of domestic investment.</li>
<li>High unit‑cost infrastructure → more borrowing for each unit of tangible capital.</li>
<li>Public‑order premium → higher operating costs and capital flight from cities.</li>
</ol>
Net interest is now the fastest‑growing budget line, crowding out discretionary investment while public spaces fray.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Partial Fixes Already in the&nbsp;One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB)</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The draft OBBB&nbsp;nods toward the right diagnosis—making bonus depreciation permanent (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22%C2%A7111001%22%7D&amp;r=1&amp;s=2">§ 111001</a>) and tightening Medicaid attendant rules (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22%C2%A7111001%22%7D&amp;r=1&amp;s=2">Subtitle E</a>)—but&nbsp;ducks&nbsp;the permitting morass and the accountability gap in transit funding. Until those last two are fixed, America will keep borrowing a premium price for sub‑premium public goods.</li>
<li>Missing:&nbsp;permitting reform and performance‑tied transit grants. Until those last two are fixed, America will keep borrowing premium dollars for sub‑premium public goods.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Would Treat the Disease, Not Just the Symptom</h3>
Raise tradables share
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Neutral expensing for all structures.</li>
<li>Fast‑track energy‑intensive manufacturing permits.</li>
<li>Strategic tariffs / border adjustments—including the Trump Administration's 10 % baseline tariff on manufactured imports, the 60 % Section 301 duty on Chinese EVs, and a draft carbon border‑adjustment framework—to level the playing field.</li>
</ul>
Triage transfer programs

America's Debt Is a Symptom, Not the Disease: How Investors Can Position

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) keeps climbing, some public companies aren't just watching from the sidelines &#8211; they're quietly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">raking in billions</a> just by holding it.
From household names like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) to surprise entries like Semler Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) and Next Technology Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTT), companies that bought Bitcoin early are now enjoying eye-popping gains.
The key? It's not just how much Bitcoin they own &#8211; it's how early and how cheaply they got in.
Let's break down which companies are winning the most from their Bitcoin bets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy: The Ultimate Bitcoin Whale</h2>
No surprises here &#8211; MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) remains the corporate king of Bitcoin. The company holds over 580,000 Bitcoins, and its investment has <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">grown</a> from a $40.6 billion cost to more than $63 billion in value.
That's more than $22 billion in unrealized profit. With over 60% of its market value now tied to Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has become a proxy for crypto exposure on Wall Street.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla: Silent Holder, Big Profits</h2>
Elon Musk's Tesla might not talk much about crypto these days, but it certainly knows how to make it count. The EV giant scooped up 11,509 Bitcoins for just $386 million. That same stash is now worth $1.25 billion &#8211; a gain of more than 220%.
For a trillion-dollar company, it's a small position but a massive return.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Block: Square's Bitcoin Is Multiplying</h2>
Jack Dorsey's Block, formerly Square, took an early leap into Bitcoin. And it paid off. 
The company's 8,584 Bitcoin holdings have nearly quadrupled in value—from $261 million to over $930 million. While it&#8217;s best known for payments and fintech, Bitcoin is becoming a major part of the story.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GameStop: From Meme To Bitcoin Holder</h2>
GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) is back in the headlines, this time not for short squeezes but for Bitcoin. The company recently acquired 4,710 Bitcoins, which are now worth over $511 million.
While the purchase price is unknown, the valuation suggests GameStop bought in at an opportune time. With over 3.5% of its market value in Bitcoin, it's the latest unexpected name betting on crypto.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Next Technology: A Quiet Crypto Play With Loud Results</h2>
Next Technology might not be a household name, but it's one of the biggest Bitcoin gainers on the list. Its 5,833 Bitcoin investment &#8211; originally worth just $183 million &#8211; is now valued at over $633 million.
That's a gain of more than 240%, making it one of the stealthiest winners in the corporate Bitcoin world.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semler Scientific: From Medical Devices To Digital Gold</h2>
In a move that turned heads, Semler Scientific bought 4,264 Bitcoins worth nearly $463 million. With a market cap of just over $500 million, almost 90% of the company's value is now tied to Bitcoin. It's one of the boldest moves among small-cap companies &#8211; and it could pay off handsomely if Bitcoin keeps rising.
While miners like MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) and Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) have long held Bitcoin as part of their operations, it&#8217;s the companies that bought Bitcoin early and cheaply that are seeing the biggest windfalls. Whether they're tech giants, medical firms, or meme stocks, these Bitcoin believers are proving that timing really is everything.
As corporate treasuries evolve, don't be surprised if more firms follow suit. With returns like these, sitting on Bitcoin might just be the best investment decision they've ever made.

GameStop Buys 4,710 Bitcoins — Here's Why Markets Are Watching

Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) shares are seeing increased attention to start the week after the company announced a new board appointment that&#8217;s causing a spike in chatter on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/social-media">various social platforms</a>.
What To Know: Semler Scientific, a technology company that has adopted a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy, on Monday announced that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45490896/semler-scientific-appoints-natalie-brunell-to-its-board-of-directors">appointed</a> crypto journalist and podcast host&nbsp;Natalie Brunell&nbsp;to its board of directors.
Brunell is an influential crypto educator and hosts a popular Bitcoin podcast called &#8220;Coin Stories.&#8221; The company on Monday said that its latest board addition reflects its continued commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy. 
&#8220;Natalie is a highly respected journalist and educator – and a leading advocate for&nbsp;Bitcoin, with a deep understanding of its role as a transformative asset. As the 4th&nbsp;largest U.S. public company on the&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;Standard in terms of&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;holdings, we believe we are a strategic asset. Her insights will be instrumental as we pursue our&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;treasury strategy and aim to deliver long-term value to our stockholders,&#8221; said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific.
Semler is seeing increased attention on multiple social platforms, especially on X, where the company is being talked about in comparison to Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>). 
Strategy&#8217;s Michael Saylor <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1924440559634076050">congratulated</a> the Semler team on X in response to a post from the company&#8217;s chairman. He also <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1924444076192981375">responded</a> to a post from Brunell announcing the new appointment. 
In&nbsp;May 2024, Semler Scientific became the second publicly traded company in the U.S. to adopt a&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;treasury strategy, which involves using proceeds from equity and debt financings, as well as cash flows from operations, to strategically accumulate&nbsp;Bitcoin.
Semler reported first-quarter financial results last week, reporting Bitcoin treasury highlights similar to Strategy. The company said it achieved a &#8220;BTC Yield&#8221; of 21.9% in the first quarter and reported a &#8220;BTC Gain&#8221; of 7.1 in the first quarter and 510.3 year-to-date. The company said it held a total of 3,192 Bitcoin as of March 31. 
SMLR Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SMLR">Semler Scientific shares</a> were up 7.84% at $44.08 at the time of publication Monday, according to Benzinga Pro. The company&#8217;s stock is down approximately 18% year-to-date, but has risen 88% over a one-year period on the back of its Bitcoin treasury strategy announcement.
