The company remains focused on expanding medical services across Asia. This move is designed to significantly diversify its treasury reserves and reinforce its balance sheet for long-term growth.
The announcement comes as corporate interest in Bitcoin continues to gain traction. From Tesla’s high-profile BTC purchase to MicroStrategy’s ongoing crypto strategy, the trend of publicly traded firms turning to digital assets as a treasury tool is accelerating — and BMGL may be next in line.
Bitcoin Meets Healthcare: A Strategic Shift
BMGL is negotiating with a group of institutional investors and high-net-worth crypto figures to acquire $1 billion worth of Bitcoin through a share-swap arrangement. If finalized, the deal would be one of the largest crypto treasury transactions in Asia’s healthcare sector to date.
For BMGL, the rationale is clear: strengthen the company’s financial foundation, expand its asset base, and prepare for fast-paced growth. By anchoring part of its reserves in Bitcoin — a decentralized asset often seen as a hedge against inflation — BMGL aims to balance innovation with financial resilience.

“This US$1 billion financial transformation will give us unprecedented capacity to execute our Asia growth strategy while maintaining conservative financial management,” said Dr. Darren Chhoa, BMGL’s CEO. “We’re not pivoting away from healthcare. We’re preparing to lead it.”
This move aligns with a growing corporate trend: the integration of digital assets into traditional treasury management. A 2024 survey by Deloitte and PayPal found that 56% of mid-to-large enterprises globally are exploring digital assets for balance sheet diversification — up from 41% the previous year.
Fueling Growth Across Asia’s Healthcare Frontier
The anticipated capital infusion would supercharge BMGL’s ability to pursue strategic acquisitions, weather economic uncertainty, and scale operations across Asia’s booming healthcare markets.
Asia is seeing rapid healthcare demand, driven by aging populations and rising income levels. For instance, Southeast Asia’s healthcare expenditure is projected to surpass $740 billion by 2025, according to Bain & Company. BMGL’s existing footprint in Singapore, a leading medical hub, positions it well to capture this momentum.
