Zoom Urged To Adopt Bitcoin Strategy For Growth

According to Odaily, Eric Semler, founder of Semler Scientific, suggested on the X platform that Zoom Communications (ZM) should adopt a Bitcoin strategy to overcome growth stagnation and enhance shareholder value. Semler described Zoom as being in a 'zombie zone' and in urgent need of new growth drivers. He highlighted that Zoom has $7.7 billion in cash reserves, an annual free cash flow of $2 billion, and access to low-cost financing. By entering the Bitcoin space, Zoom could quickly become one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally. Semler cited the example of SMLR, which adopted Bitcoin as a corporate asset in mid-2024, following the MicroStrategy (MSTR) model, and accumulated 3,192 BTC, valued at approximately $305 million. Since disclosing its Bitcoin holdings, SMLR's stock price has doubled.
