On Twitter, Google’s John Mueller said that bold text on web pages is good for web pages and website visitors:
You'll probably get more out of bolding text for human users / usability in the end. Bots might like, but they're not going to buy anything.

In other words: bold text can have a minor influence on the rankings of a page. However, you should mainly use bold text to improve the usability of your web pages for your website visitors.
