💥 Acquisition Buzz: Strive Takes Over Semler Scientific and Its 5048 Bitcoins

As Bitcoin hovers below $95,000, Strive announces the completion of its acquisition of Semler Scientific, along with the company's Bitcoin reserves. The deal involves a significant digital asset—Semler Scientific's treasury is locked with 5048 BTC, valued at approximately $480 million.

This move marks a renewed surge in institutional-level Bitcoin accumulation strategies. In the current market environment, acquiring large BTC holdings through mergers and acquisitions has become an important method for some companies to expand their crypto asset portfolios. Semler Scientific's substantial Bitcoin reserves will be integrated into Strive's asset portfolio, further strengthening its position in the digital asset space.

Big institutions' tactics are too clever, directly acquiring to bottom out. Over 5,000 Bitcoins have just changed hands. --- It's the same old trick, wealthy people play with all kinds of tricks. We small investors can only watch. --- Strive's move is impressive. They dare to increase their position even when Bitcoin is at 95k. Aren't they afraid of a drop? --- Wait, why not buy coins directly instead of acquiring companies? Is there some benefit I don't know about? --- Oh my, $480 million just went into a company's wallet. Ordinary people like us can't participate in such high-level transactions. --- Basically, institutions are building positions. We need to catch up quickly, brothers. --- Suddenly realizing that acquiring a company to get coins might be cheaper than buying directly? Can an expert explain? --- This is the gap between the rich and the poor. They acquire companies and happen to get 5048 coins; we can only save up for a long time to get even one.

5048 BTC have just been transferred, this acquisition move is really awesome. The pace of institutional bottom-fishing is getting fiercer, and retail investors are still hesitating. Strive's move was well played, directly consuming others' Bitcoin reserves. However, the $95,000 level still feels like it needs to be tested a bit more. This is the game rule of big funds, it makes me drool. Definitely a bullish signal from institutions, just follow the rhythm and it'll be fine.

It should be pointed out that this merger and acquisition model is essentially a compromise from fiat thinking to the digital asset field—Strive uses a traditional M&A framework to acquire Bitcoin, rather than direct market purchase. What does this reflect? Obviously, institutions are preparing for the upcoming revaluation of value consensus. On-chain data shows that the liquidity transfer of such large holdings often signals the beginning of a new cycle. But I am reminded of the phrase in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Ironically, the transfer of 5048 BTC has long strayed further and further from that original ideal.

Hmm, it's the same old trick again, companies are buying the dip and playing around Big institutions don't trade coins, they just buy the company to get the coins, really ruthless Over 5,000 Bitcoins were sold in this bundled deal, quite interesting If this move continues, retail investors will have an even harder time, right?
