Basel Medical Group Ltd., whose stock is traded on Nasdaq with the symbol BMGL, assured investors of continuing exclusive talks for a $1 billion Bitcoin purchase. It plans on completing this large financial transaction on a share-swap basis in the current quarter with major crypto-investors.
Dr. Darren Chhoa, the chief executive officer of Basel Medical, leads this move to secure long-term capital and reshape financial strategies. The deal includes working with high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors who are active participants in the cryptocurrency industry.
Additionally, these talks align with Basel’s broader plan to support its rapid healthcare expansion across several high-growth Asian markets. Management executives confirmed that this transaction, funded with cryptocurrency, has the potential to be one of the largest balance sheet upgrades by a company in all of Asia.
The potential acquisition, upon successful completion, would see Basel Medical receive a boost of digital currency for supporting core businesses and regional growth. However, Basel Medical is going to diversify its treasury by introducing Bitcoin as an alternative asset class without diverting its main medical business focus.
This will give the group added flexibility to act on new acquisition opportunities in Asia’s competitive healthcare environment. However, management expects the transaction to improve financial agility and create a shield against global economic shifts.

Company leaders also confirmed that they are conducting standard regulatory checks as part of the negotiations and expect to conclude them within this quarter. If finalized, the share-swap will allow Basel Medical to broaden its financial reserves while enhancing investor confidence in its capital structure.
Founded in Singapore, Basel Medical provides services in orthopedics, trauma, and neurosurgery, mainly through clinics located at Gleneagles Medical Centre. Over two decades, the group has established strong partnerships with corporations across the construction, oil, gas, and marine industries.
The company continues to attract demand due to Singapore’s growing healthcare market and rising regional incomes. Basel Medical’s long-term goal remains focused on building a dominant healthcare platform across Southeast Asia’s aging and increasingly health-conscious population.
