With Semler\u2019s existing reserves, the combined entity now controls over 10,900 BTC. That figure places it ahead of Hut 8 Mining, Block Inc., and Galaxy Digital in terms of public company Bitcoin ownership.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
