Semler Scientific’s initial foray into Bitcoin occurred in late May, when the company <a href="https://crypto.news/semler-scientific-unveils-strategy-for-bitcoin-treasury/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> the acquisition of 581 BTC for $40 million. 
At the time, Semler emphasized Bitcoin’s potential as a “reliable store of value” and a “compelling investment,” citing its scarcity and potential as an inflation hedge and safe haven amid global economic uncertainty. Additionally, Semler also said at the time that the company believes that Bitcoin’s digital, architectural resilience “makes it preferable to gold, which has a market value of approximately 10 times that of Bitcoin.” 
With the latest transaction, Semler Scientific ranks 17th spot in the list of top public companies all over the world that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet, surpassing American Bitcoin mining company Bit Digital, Inc., per&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.com/" target="_blank" rel="">data</a>&nbsp;from Bitcoin Treasuries.
