France-based The Blockchain Group and the United Kingdom’s Smarter Web Company have increased their exposure to Bitcoin, joining a growing number of corporates bolstering digital asset reserves.

Semler Scientific also buys BTC

Also on Monday, US-based healthcare technology company Semler Scientific reported a fresh Bitcoin purchase of 187 BTC for approximately $20 million, according to an 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Nasdaq-listed firm acquired the coins at an average price of $106,906 per bitcoin between June 4 and July 2.

As of July 2, Semler said it had sold 4.1 million shares under the ATM program, raising $156.6 million in net proceeds.

The company’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 4,636 BTC, acquired at an average price of $92,753 per coin.

Based on current market prices, Semler is sitting on approximately $72 million in unrealized gains, with total acquisition costs — including fees and expenses — amounting to $430 million.

The corporate rush for Bitcoin

The uptick in corporate Bitcoin purchases reflects a broader trend driven by favorable market conditions, ETF inflows, and rising institutional interest.

Firms such as Strategy — the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin — continue to lead this movement.

Strategy on Monday disclosed that its unrealized gains had reached $14 billion in the second quarter of 2025, surpassing prior expectations of $13 billion.

The company’s latest acquisition, announced on June 30, involved the purchase of 4,980 BTC for $531.1 million.

Separately, Japan’s Metaplanet added 2,204 BTC to its treasury on Monday, spending $237 million.

The company now holds 15,555 BTC at an average price of approximately $99,985 per coin.

The continued accumulation by public companies underscores the growing perception of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

As market participants await Q3 activity, corporate interest appears to be sustaining momentum amid macroeconomic uncertainty and evolving digital asset regulation.
