Eric Semler Announces Semler Scientific Paid $50 Million for 455 Bitcoins

In a major step forward for its digital asset strategy

Semler Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMLR) Chairman Eric Semler announced that the company paid $50 million for 455 Bitcoins between May 13 and May 22. This builds on the company’s persistent commitment to expanding its Bitcoin holdings and maximizing long-term shareholder value through prudent investments in digital assets.

Semler Scientific’s Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy

Semler Scientific has been using the proceeds from its ongoing ATM offering program to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation. The company entered a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and other financial institutions in April 2025, which allows it to issue and sell up to $500 million of common stock. Through this program, Semler has already raised approximately $114.8 million by selling over 3 million shares. Capital raised has been efficiently deployed to purchase Bitcoin, with the latest 455 BTC bought at an average price of $109,801 per coin, inclusive of fees.

This disciplined Bitcoin acquisition strategy has positioned Semler Scientific favorably in the growing institutional digital asset landscape. At the current Coinbase exchange price, Semler’s BTC holdings have a market value of approximately $474.4 million as of May 22, 2025, highlighting significant unrealized gains from its investments.

BTC Yield Performance Demonstrates Effectiveness

One of the most important metrics, according to Eric Semler, to assess the company’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy is BTC Yield. Semler Scientific’s BTC Yield performance as of May 22, 2025, is an outstanding 25.8% so far this year. This statistic helps investors better understand the accretive nature of Semler’s Bitcoin purchases, which are funded by stock issuances through the ATM offering program.

"We continue to build substantial wealth for our shareholders by concentrating on buying Bitcoin at competitive rates and managing funds effectively," said Eric Semler. "Our goal is to continue expanding our Bitcoin portfolio while maintaining strong BTC Yield performance and demonstrating efficient capital utilization."

Additionally, Semler Scientific provides investor transparency with its dedicated Bitcoin Dashboard, which is accessible on its corporate website. The company discloses its BTC holdings, BTC Yield, BTC Gain, market statistics, and other relevant key performance metrics in real time on this dashboard. This disclosure gives investors complete information about Semler’s changing digital asset strategy and demonstrates the company’s dedication to regulatory compliance under Regulation FD.

ATM Offering Program Grants Capital Flexibility

The flexibility to raise funds opportunistically is granted by Semler Scientific’s Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and other financial institutions. This initiative facilitates the business’s prompt and effective acquisition of Bitcoin. Since its launch in April 2025, the ATM offering has been a crucial source of income, enabling the company to expand its Bitcoin holdings incrementally.

Semler’s strategy of using share issuance to fund Bitcoin acquisitions presents a balanced approach to capital management. Having already raised about $114.8 million to date, the company is focused on preserving shareholder interests and ensuring sufficient liquidity for continuing investments.

Transparency Through Bitcoin Dashboard

For stakeholders and investors, Semler Scientific’s BTC Dashboard serves as a vital communication tool. It provides broad, non-exclusive access to data on the company’s Bitcoin holdings and associated performance indicators. This level of transparency allows Semler to adhere to regulatory standards and foster investor confidence.

To support well-informed investing decisions, the dashboard is frequently updated with key metrics such as Bitcoin holdings, BTC Yield, and market prices. This commitment to timely and transparent disclosure further highlights Semler Scientific’s role as a pioneer in integrating digital assets into its business strategy.
