Mexico City-based Doc.com, which offers an AI-enabled decentralized telehealth platform, has filed an application to list its Class A common stock in the U.S. on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol DOCC.
The company, which combines AI and blockchain technology, uses an app to connect individuals from underserved communities with licensed healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurse practitioners and mental health specialists.
It also connects people with veterinarians and says it will soon allow access to psychologists. The company provides a free 15-minute consultation for new users and charges a fee for future appointments. It currently offers its services in the U.S. and Latin America.
As part of its blockchain-based healthcare ecosystem, Doc.com uses a proprietary cryptocurrency called Medical Token Currency (MTC) to incentivize participation on its telehealth platform.
The token is used to reward users for activities such as virtual consultations, health assessments and data sharing, and can be traded on cryptocurrency markets or, in some cases, used to access services within the platform.
The company, founded in 2012, says the listing will allow it to accelerate global expansion of its offerings.
"Filing for Nasdaq is a meaningful milestone that reinforces our long-term vision and commitment to health equity," CEO Charles Nader said in a statement.
"This step positions us to expand globally, advance our AI and blockchain technologies and drive positive social impact by reaching more communities in need. We believe healthcare should be a human right, and this brings us closer to realizing that mission at scale."
THE LARGER TREND
Doc.com launched into the U.S. market last year.
A year before, global investment firm Silver Rock Group committed $300 million in equity financing in Doc.com, bringing Doc.com’s valuation to $1.3 billion.
The funding was Silver Rock's debut investment in healthcare, following the funding of other startups such as DocuSign. The company used the funds to bring its offerings to the U.S. market.
Over the years, Doc.com’s reputation has been mixed, with some prior media reports raising questions about aspects of the company’s operations, while other coverage has highlighted potential advantages of its AI-driven healthcare model.
Other digital health companies utilizing the cryptocurrency market include Sharps Technology, a medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company that offers smart safety syringe products.
Last year, the company announced the closing of a private placement of more than $400 million and the launch of a digital asset treasury strategy, with the principal holding being the cryptocurrency Solana (SOL).
In June 2025, Goldeneye 1995 LLC, an affiliate of fintech investor and Ripple's former chief risk officer, Greg Kidd, purchased a controlling interest in health monitoring company Know Labs with 1,000 Bitcoin and additional cash.
Know Labs is a U.S.-based medical device company that develops non-invasive health-monitoring tools using radio-microwave spectroscopy to help identify and measure molecules inside and outside the body.
