Burnett formerly worked as director of market research at Bitcoin financial firm Unchained and previously as lead analyst at mining company Blockware Solutions. He will help Semler with Bitcoin education, market ideas, and using Bitcoin in its business plans. This shows the company now sees Bitcoin as a serious and long-term part of its strategy.

It’s time to build one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Semler Scientific plans to buy 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025. In 2026, the company wants to grow its bitcoin holdings to 42,000. By the end of 2027, it hopes to reach 105,000 Bitcoins in total. Many public companies now see Bitcoin as a safe long-term asset. They are adding it to their reserves, just like cash or gold.

Burnett said:

“We are witnessing the global monetization of Bitcoin as a superior form of money. The trend to adopt Bitcoin as part of corporate treasury is clearly accelerating. Semler Scientific, as the 2nd U.S. public company to adopt the Bitcoin Standard, has been at the forefront of this movement.”

Semler Scientific Deepens Bitcoin Commitment with Over 3,808 BTC in Holdings

Semler started this journey last May when it adopted the “Bitcoin Standard.” Since then, the company has become very supportive of Bitcoin and often speaks in its favor. Semler Scientific began using Bitcoin as its main treasury reserve asset in May 2024. Since that decision, the company has acquired a total of 3,808 BTC, placing it as the 13th largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies, based on BitBo data.

Recent reports show that Semler bought 894 Bitcoins in the first quarter of 2025, spending $90.7 million. Later, on April 30, the company said it bought 165 more Bitcoins for $15.7 million. A week after that, it added another 167 Bitcoins for $16.2 million, raising its total to 3,634 Bitcoins.

Even though its healthcare business is still facing losses, Semler’s Bitcoin strategy has delivered strong results. In the first quarter of 2025, it earned a 22.2% return from Bitcoin and had an unrealized profit of $177 million by early June. Semler’s plan follows a growing trend where public companies in the U.S. and other countries are using Bitcoin as a key asset. A good example is Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed company. It crossed 10,000 BTC on June 16, hitting its 2025 goal six months early. Now, Metaplanet plans to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027.
