Semler Scientific and Bitcoin
The most recent purchase was made at an average price of $97,093 each, inclusive of additional costs and expenses. The total cost of Bitcoin for Semler Scientific now stands at $322.3 million, with its market capitalization reaching $352.4 million.
On April 15th, Semler Scientific initiated an ATM stock program, selling over 1.1 million shares to raise approximately $39.8 million in capital. This program aligns with the company’s goal of shifting its capital structure towards a Bitcoin-centric approach.
Bitcoin Strategy
Semler Scientific aims to become the second-largest publicly traded company to adopt Bitcoin as its main treasury reserve strategy. This initiative is intended to rejuvenate the company’s growth, which had previously stagnated.
Eric Semler has elaborated on the strategy with the statement, “SMLR strategically embraces Bitcoin. The impact of our Bitcoin acquisition performance is distinctly observable.”
The company reported a 22.2% return on its Bitcoin holdings since the start of the year. Unlike ETFs, companies like Strategy and SMLR that build BTC reserves tie their fate to the cryptocurrency. Investing in their shares provides investors with indirect exposure to the Bitcoin market.
Semler Scientific’s approach is closely monitored within the framework of market dynamics and financial data. This strategic orientation suggests that the company might seize new opportunities to achieve its growth objectives.
