The California-based healthcare-technology firm said it will seek to own at least 10,000 BTC by December 2025, 42,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and the full 105,000 BTC\u2014worth roughly $11 billion at today\u2019s prices\u2014before 2028.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Corporate Accumulation War Heats Up<\/h2>\n<p>The escalation builds on a frenetic 13-month buying campaign that has left Semler holding 4,449 BTC accumulated at an average cost of $92,158 per coin. The company <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/semler-scientific-snaps-up-871-bitcoin-while-microstrategy-temporarily-halts-btc-accumulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">disclosed<\/a> those figures in early June after purchasing an additional 185 BTC for $20 million through its at-the-market (ATM) share-sale program. News of the aggressive new targets sent SMLR shares 12 percent higher in early Friday trade, briefly reversing a bruising year-to-date slide that had left the stock down more than 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to have Joe join our Bitcoin strategy team and help drive our three-year plan to own 105,000 Bitcoins,\u201d chairman Eric Semler said in the press statement. \u201cSince adopting the Bitcoin Standard, we have achieved approximately 287 percent BTC yield and a $177 million unrealized gain through June 3.\u201d Burnett, whose r\u00e9sum\u00e9 spans market-research roles at Unchained and Blockware Solutions, framed the campaign in epochal terms: \u201cWe are witnessing the global monetization of Bitcoin as a superior form of money\u2026 Semler Scientific is determined to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Semler says it will finance the blitz with a blend of operating cash flow, fresh equity and convertible-debt issuance\u2014a tactic honed over the past year via the $500 million ATM program that has already raised $136 million. That structure mirrors the playbook pioneered by <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/saylor-microsoft-bitcoin-75-billion-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Michael Saylor\u2019s MicroStrategy<\/a>, now renamed Strategy, whose 592,100-BTC trove remains the sector\u2019s benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>The arithmetic behind Semler\u2019s goal is punishingly steep. At a constant BTC price of $105,000, acquiring 100,551 additional coins would require roughly $10.6 billion\u2014equal to more than 200 times Semler\u2019s trailing-twelve-month revenue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">According<\/a> to Bitcoin Treasuries, 130 listed firms now sit on a combined 832,597 BTC, or 3.96 percent of the eventual 21-million-coin supply. In Japan, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/metaplanets-bitcoin-bet-just-got-bigger-heres-what-changed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Metaplanet<\/a> is chasing 210,000 BTC; in the United States, Block and Tesla have resumed steady accumulation. Semler\u2019s 105,000-BTC ambition would catapult it from its current 14th position to the second-largest corporate holder of BTC.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC traded at $104,326.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-508871\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?resize=1024%2C454\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"1024\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=3628 3628w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BTCUSDT_2025-06-20_07-31-54.png?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Semler Scientific ignited a fresh salvo in the corporate scramble for scarce Bitcoin on Thursday, unveiling a three-year plan to expand its treasury from 4,449 BTC to an eye-popping 105,000 BTC and installing long-time analyst Joe Burnett as its inaugural director of Bitcoin strategy.
