With the price of Bitcoin (BTC) exceeding $90,000, several struggling companies are trying to boost their fortunes by building on the token and using it as a lifeline. This business model is inspired by the success of Bitcoin-focused software company MicroStrategy in 2020, which has led to companies from a variety of industries now getting into the cryptocurrency game.
Semler Scientific’s Big Bitcoin Gamble
Semler Scientific, a medical technology company, was facing a serious financial crisis due to Medicare payment issues. However, after investing in BTC, the company earned $31 million in revenue, surpassing its 2023 earnings. The stock price also surged 112%.
Semler believes the BTC strategy is a smart move. “I meet companies all the time and they still laugh at you for suggesting something like that,” he says. But for now, it seems like BTC is giving struggling businesses a second chance.”
Metaplanet’s complete transformation
Japanese hotel company Metaplanet has been severely affected by the pandemic. CEO Simon Gerovich decided to sell the company’s assets and invest in BTC. The company then raised $70 million and purchased 1,142 BTC, resulting in a profit of $30 million. The stock soared 1,571%, attracting tens of thousands of new investors.
Genius Group’s Bitcoin Education Vision
Genius Group, an education-focused company based in Singapore, announced the integration of BTC into its business strategy. The company then purchased 110 BTC. This caused the stock price to soar by 150%. CEO Roger Hamilton believes BTC will be the future of money, especially with advances in artificial intelligence.
Other companies joining the Bitcoin boom
Other companies, including Cosmos Health and Thumzup Media, also announced plans to invest in BTC. As the value of BTC continues to fluctuate and rise, more companies are expected to follow this trend.
Will this strategy help BTC reach $100,000?
More companies participating in BTC could contribute to the price increase and could potentially help it reach $100,000. Rising demand, increased institutional investment, and increased mainstream adoption could push prices higher, while reduced volatility could attract more investors.
Additionally, reaching the above goals will require favorable global economic conditions for the token, a supportive regulatory environment, increased adoption, and increased demand.
It is clear that this strategy is paying off as more companies are switching to Bitcoin. Analysts predict that the BTC price will reach $100,000 by the end of this month, and it will be interesting to see how many more companies will follow the same strategy. One thing is clear: Bitcoin is indeed a lifesaver for struggling businesses, and its impact will be felt for years to come.
