Earlier on Tuesday, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) announced that it did not purchase any Bitcoin last week, thus currently holding about 478,740 BTCs. However, the company has announced plans to strengthen its Bitcoin holdings through a private offering of $2 billion of convertible senior notes.
The $2 billion 0 percent convertible senior notes due 2030 will help the company acquire more Bitcoins amid the ongoing market correction.
“Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital,” the company noted.
Seller Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ: SMLR), an established company in healthcare services with a keen focus on Bitcoin, announced the release of its Q4 2024 financial results and for the full year. Having closed 2024 with 2,298 BTC, Semler Scientific has purchased an additional 894 Bitcoins through February, thus currently holding about 3,192 BTCs.
As a result, for the financial year that ended on December 31, Semler Scientific reported a BTC Yield of about 107 percent.
“Since launching this strategy in May 2024, our market capitalization has increased more than 200 percent. We have unwavering confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential and view it as digital gold. With this conviction, we remain committed to significantly expanding our bitcoin holdings,” Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific, noted.
The demand for Bitcoin among institutional investors has continued to grow exponentially in the recent past. The ongoing implementation of a clear crypto regulatory framework has increased the overall confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value in the long haul.
As a result, Bitcoin price will follow gold’s bullish breakout in the near future, which will also impact the entire altcoin industry.
