by

As a seasoned researcher with a knack for following market trends and a particular interest in the intersection of technology and finance, I find Semler Scientific’s recent Bitcoin acquisitions quite intriguing. The company’s strategic move to invest in Bitcoin, coupled with its successful ATM offering, showcases a forward-thinking approach that is not commonly seen among healthcare providers.

As a dedicated researcher delving into technological advancements for the healthcare sector, I’m excited to share that Semler Scientific, a company I closely follow, has recently disclosed an update regarding their Bitcoin investments.

From December 5th through December 15th, 2024, the company purchased an extra 211 Bitcoins (BTC), costing approximately $21.5 million. As a result, their total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 2,084 BTC.

1) In the latest transaction, each Bitcoin was bought for approximately $101,890, taking into account all costs and charges. This brings Semler’s total Bitcoin assets to a value of around $168.6 million, considering an average buying price of $80,916 per Bitcoin.

Semler financed its Bitcoin acquisition using funds from a stock offering it conducted and cash flow from operations. The company has been using its Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. for this stock offering, allowing it to occasionally sell shares to generate additional funds.

Semler Scientific purchased approximately 211 Bitcoins for around $21.5 million each costing roughly $101,890 per Bitcoin. This move has yielded a return of 67.0% in the current quarter and a staggering 92.8% since implementing our Bitcoin treasury strategy in May. As of December 15, 2024, we are holding 2,084 Bitcoins that were acquired for approximately $168.6 million at around $80,916 per Bitcoin. Symbol: SMLR.

Semler’s ATM offering

Since its initiation on August 1, 2024, Semler has accumulated roughly $100 million in total funds through their ATM offering as of December 16, 2024.

Moreover, the firm has submitted another prospectus supplement to its S-3 Shelf Registration, aiming to sell extra $50 million worth of shares through the At-the-Market (ATM) offering. This action increases the total amount offered under the ATM program to a sum of $150 million.

Additionally, Semler emphasized that their Bitcoin acquisition had a remarkable return of 92.8% – a significant metric in evaluating the company’s success with its digital currency investments.
