Eric Semler: Following MicroStrategy’s Lead
The chairman of Semler Scientific underscored that buying bitcoin was not just for digital asset companies.
Michael Saylor made CoinDesk's Most Influential list this year for inspiring other corporations to follow his lead and tap capital markets to buy bitcoin for their balance sheets. The first publicly traded U.S. company lured this year by the Bitcoin Pied Piper? Eric Semler, whose medical technology company, Semler Scientific, picked bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
Semler Scientific's stock price has rocketed higher, especially amid bitcoin's sharp rally following Donald Trump's U.S. presidential win, showing the potential wisdom of the gambit — and explaining why other companies are now marching behind Saylor and Semler.
