Funding the Bitcoin Buying SpreeWhat is BTC Yield?Balancing Risks and OpportunitiesBitcoin’s Current StatusFAQs

Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology company known for its innovative solutions, has taken a major step into the cryptocurrency world. The company has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings, now sitting on 1,873 BTC, with an average purchase price of $78,553 per Bitcoin. Between November 25 and December 4, 2024, Semler acquired 303 BTC for $29.3 million, averaging a cost of $96,779 per Bitcoin. This aggressive move is part of their broader strategy to integrate Bitcoin into their financial operations, which they claim aligns with shareholder interests.

Semler Scientific has reported a 13.32% drop in short interest, with 892,000 shares now sold short, representing 13.28% of its tradable shares. Based on current trading volumes, it would take traders an average of 1.46 days to cover these positions.

Funding the Bitcoin Buying Spree

To fund these purchases, Semler leveraged an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering through its partnership with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Initially, they aimed to raise $50 million, but later doubled the offering to $100 million. As of now, they’ve generated $79.8 million in gross proceeds, fueling their Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

What is BTC Yield?

Semler has introduced a unique metric called BTC Yield to gauge the performance of its Bitcoin holdings. BTC Yield reflects the percentage change in the ratio between Bitcoin holdings and outstanding shares. Since the company adopted its Bitcoin treasury strategy in July 2024, their BTC Yield has reached an impressive 78.7%, with a 54.7% boost recorded in the most recent period.

However, BTC Yield isn’t a profitability metric. It doesn’t represent traditional financial gains but instead highlights how Bitcoin investments align with shareholder equity.

Balancing Risks and Opportunities

Eric Semler, the company’s chairman, expressed optimism about their crypto strategy, emphasizing its potential for long-term shareholder benefits. Beyond Bitcoin, Semler is also seeking approval for options trading on their stock, signaling a diversification of their financial approach.

That said, the company acknowledges risks, including Bitcoin’s volatility and their reliance on equity sales to fund acquisitions. Moreover, Semler Scientific’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy reflects an assertive stance in the crypto market, with an average purchase price of $78,553 per BTC. The latest acquisition at a premium price of $96,779 per BTC underlines the company’s unwavering confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
