Insights

Semler Scientific purchased 111 more bitcoins, now holds 3,303 BTC worth $309.1M, and established a new $500M ATM offering program.

Semler Scientific has significantly expanded its bitcoin treasury strategy, acquiring an additional $10 million worth of bitcoin (111 BTC) at an average price of $90,124 per bitcoin. Their total holdings now stand at 3,303 BTC with an aggregate acquisition cost of $290.4 million ($87,929 per bitcoin) and a current market value of $309.1 million - representing an unrealized gain of approximately $18.7 million.

The company has been funding these bitcoin purchases through a combination of operational cash flow and equity issuance. Their initial ATM offering has raised approximately $126 million through the sale of 2,438,274 shares. More notably, they've established a new ATM offering for up to $500 million with six financial institutions, already raising $2 million by selling 57,100 shares.

Semler has introduced "BTC Yield" as a proprietary key performance indicator, reporting 23.5% YTD through April 24th. This metric aims to measure bitcoin holdings growth relative to potential share dilution. However, as the company acknowledges in extensive disclaimers, this metric has significant limitations - it assumes full conversion of all outstanding notes and options without accounting for exercise prices or other conditions, potentially overstating the accretive nature of their strategy.

The scale of their bitcoin position relative to their healthcare technology business represents a substantial allocation of capital to cryptocurrency. Investors should carefully consider both the potential benefits of bitcoin exposure and the dilutive effects of the equity offerings used to fund these purchases.

Healthcare company Semler now holds $309.1M in bitcoin (3,303 BTC), using ATM offerings to fund purchases while tracking performance via custom BTC Yield metric.

Semler Scientific continues its notable bitcoin accumulation strategy with the purchase of 111 additional bitcoins at an average cost of $90,124 per BTC. Their total holdings now stand at 3,303 BTC with a current market value of $309.1 million, acquired at an average price of $87,929 - representing a realized paper gain on their bitcoin position.

The company is employing a unique approach by utilizing at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings to fund bitcoin acquisitions. After completing most of their initial $150 million offering, they've established a substantially larger new offering program for up to $500 million, partnering with six financial institutions to expand their distribution channels.

To measure the effectiveness of this strategy, Semler has created a proprietary metric called "BTC Yield," reporting 23.5% YTD. This metric attempts to quantify whether their bitcoin acquisition strategy is accretive to shareholders by measuring bitcoin holdings growth relative to potential share dilution. However, as the company clearly acknowledges, this metric has numerous limitations and makes several assumptions about note conversions and option exercises that may not reflect economic reality.

What makes Semler's approach particularly distinctive is that they're a healthcare technology company implementing this bitcoin treasury strategy rather than a pure-play bitcoin company. This creates an unusual investment profile where shareholders gain exposure to both healthcare technology operations and a significant bitcoin position, with the company serving as the intermediary for bitcoin acquisition.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Semler Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMLR), a pioneer in developing and marketing technology products and services to assist its customers in evaluating and treating chronic diseases, today announced updates regarding its bitcoin (BTC) activity, holdings and yield, as well as its at-the-market equity offering (ATM) programs.

BTC Update

As of April 24, 2025, Semler Scientific held 3,303 bitcoins, which were acquired for an aggregate $290.4 million at an average purchase price of $87,929 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses and had a market value of $309.1 million based on the price of bitcoin as reported on the Coinbase exchange as of 4pm ET on such date.

ATM Offering Program

Semler Scientific entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the initial Sales Agreement) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., pursuant to which could issue and sell from time to time up to $150.0 million of its common stock in an ATM offering. As of April 22, 2025, Semler Scientific had issued and sold an aggregate of 2,438,274 shares of its common stock under the initial Sales Agreement for aggregate net proceeds (less sales commissions) of approximately $126.0 million. As the registration statement and prospectus for the new ATM offering became effective on April 22, 2025, Semler Scientific is no longer selling any shares under the initial Sales Agreement.

On April 15, 2025, Semler Scientific entered into a new Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the new Sales Agreement) with Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Canaccord Genuity LLC, Needham & Company, LLC, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC pursuant to which it may issue and sell from time to time up to $500.0 million of its common stock in an ATM offering.

BTC Yield as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)

Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 23.5% YTD through April 24, 2025. Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner Semler Scientific believes is accretive to stockholders. Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor's understanding of Semler Scientific's decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock or instruments convertible to common stock.

Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of Semler Scientific's Basic Shares outstanding as of the end of each period plus all the additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and related capped calls, and exercise of all outstanding stock option awards. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method and does not take into account any vesting conditions (in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any stock option awards or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of outstanding convertible notes or settlement of capped calls.

Important Information about BTC Yield KPI

BTC Yield is a KPI that represents the percentage change period-to-period of the ratio between Semler Scientific's bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of Semler Scientific's actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of each period plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and exercise of all outstanding stock option awards. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method and does not take into account any vesting conditions (in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any stock option awards or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of outstanding convertible notes or settlement of capped calls.

Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner Semler Scientific believes is accretive to stockholders. Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor's understanding of its decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock. When Semler Scientific uses this KPI, management also takes into account the various limitations of this metric, including that it assumes the outstanding convertible notes will be converted into shares of common stock and the capped calls will be settled in accordance with their respective terms.

Additionally, this KPI is not, and should not be understood as, an operating performance measure or a financial or liquidity measure. In particular, BTC Yield is not equivalent to a "yield" in the traditional financial context. It is not a measure of the return on investment Semler Scientific's stockholders may have achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing stock of Semler Scientific, or a measure of income generated by Semler Scientific's operations or its bitcoin holdings, return on investment on its bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure of the performance of its business or assets.

The trading price of Semler Scientific's common stock is informed by numerous factors in addition to the amount of bitcoins Semler Scientific holds and number of actual or potential shares of its stock outstanding. As a result, the market value of Semler Scientific's shares may trade at a discount or a premium relative to the market value of the bitcoin Semler Scientific holds. BTC Yield is not indicative nor predictive of the trading price of Semler Scientific's shares of common stock. As noted above, this KPI is narrow in its purpose and is used by management to assist in assessing whether Semler Scientific is using equity capital in a manner accretive to stockholders solely as it pertains to its bitcoin holdings.

In calculating this KPI, Semler Scientific does not take into account the source of capital used for the acquisition of its bitcoin. Semler Scientific notes in particular, it has acquired bitcoin using cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of shares in its ATM offering, as well as from the offering of convertible notes, which at the time of issuance and including the capped calls had, and may from time-to-time thereafter have, conversion prices above the current trading prices of Semler Scientific's common stock, or as to which the holders of such convertible notes may not then be entitled to exercise the conversion rights of the notes. Conversely, if Semler Scientific's convertible notes mature or are redeemed without being converted into common stock, Semler Scientific may be required to sell shares in quantities greater than the shares such convertible notes and related capped calls are convertible into or generate cash proceeds from the sale of bitcoin, either of which would have the effect of decreasing the BTC Yield due to changes in Semler Scientific's bitcoin holdings and shares in ways that were not contemplated by the assumptions in calculating BTC Yield. Accordingly, this metric might overstate or understate the accretive nature of Semler Scientific's use of capital to buy bitcoin because not all bitcoin may be acquired using proceeds of equity and convertible debt offerings and not all issuances of equity may involve the acquisition of bitcoin.

Semler Scientific's ability to achieve positive BTC Yield may depend on a variety of factors, including its ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its fixed charges and other expenses, as well as factors outside of its control, such as the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Semler Scientific has historically not paid dividends on its shares of common stock, and by presenting this KPI, Semler Scientific makes no suggestion that it intends to do so in the future. Ownership of common stock does not represent an ownership interest in the bitcoin Semler Scientific holds.

Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in Semler Scientific's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This KPI is merely a supplement, not a substitute. It should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand its limited purpose and many limitations.
