According to a statement on August 26, the medical technology company Semler Scientific, listed on the Nasdaq, has once again purchased 83 BTC for $5 million in order to expand its BTC holdings.

This purchase brings the company's total BTC holdings to 1012, with a cumulative cost including fees and expenses of $68 million.

Eric Semler, the chairman of the company, explained that the funds for this purchase primarily came from the cash generated by the company's operations, supplemented by funds from its on-exchange equity plan.

Semler added, "We are pleased to see more and more institutions adopting BTC. There have been reports recently that BTC ETF assets managed by institutions now account for over 20%. We believe that this institutional increase in holdings will drive the growth of BTC prices."

Semler Scientific began investing in BTC in May this year, when it acquired 581 BTC for $40 million.

Since then, the company has continued to make aggressive purchases, buying 247 BTC for $17 million on June 6, 49 BTC for $3 million on June 28, and 52 BTC for $3 million on August 5.

According to BTC Treasury data, after the most recent purchase of BTC, Semler Scientific has now entered the top 20 BTC corporate holders.

In the second quarter report, the company's CEO Doug Murphy-Chutorian reiterated the company's commitment to BTC, emphasizing how BTC complements the company's healthcare business strategy.

Semler's BTC reserves continue to grow, highlighting the increasing confidence of enterprises in using flagship digital assets as financial reserves.

This trend was first initiated by MicroStrategy in 2020, and this year other companies (such as the Japanese investment company Metaplanet and the listed company DeFi Technologies) have made significant acquisitions of BTC.

In addition, the launch of BTC ETF products has significantly increased institutional investment in this emerging industry. Bitwise's Chief Information Officer Matt Hougan predicts that as the BTC industry continues to mature, this trend will intensify in the coming years.
