The company appointed BTC expert Joe Burnett as Director of Bitcoin Strategy to help lead its ambitious plans Future Plans for Diagnostics Business While bitcoin holdings remain central to the merger, the combined company also intends to explore options to monetize or distribute Semler Scientific’s profitable diagnostics business.
