In a notable move within the medical equipment industry, Semler Scientific (SMLR) has announced its latest acquisition of bitcoin, marking its third-largest purchase since the company adopted a bitcoin standard approximately one year ago.
Over a span of ten days ending May 22, Semler acquired 455 BTC for a total investment of $50 million, with an impressive average purchase price of $109,801 per bitcoin. This acquisition was financed through its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program, which has proven instrumental in supporting the company’s commitment to digital assets. With this latest purchase, Semler’s total bitcoin holdings have risen to 4,264 BTC, accumulated at an overall cost of $390 million and currently valued at over $450 million.
To date, Semler Scientific has successfully issued 3,003,488 shares under its April 15 $500 million ATM program, raising a total of $114.8 million. Such fundraising efforts underline the company’s strategic approach to integrating bitcoin into its balance sheet.
One key metric gaining traction among companies incorporating bitcoin is Semler’s BTC Yield, which has now reached 25.8% in 2025. BTC Yield assesses the year-to-date percentage change in the ratio of total bitcoin holdings relative to assumed diluted shares outstanding, providing investors and analysts with valuable insights into the company’s performance and investment strategy.
However, it is worth noting that SMLR shares experienced a decline of 5.3% in premarket trading following a significant drop in bitcoin’s price to $108,300 on Friday morning. This fluctuation serves as a reminder of the intrinsic volatility associated with cryptocurrency investments.
As Semler Scientific continues to enhance its position in the bitcoin market, industry watchers will be keen to observe how this bold strategy impacts the company’s future growth and stakeholder confidence.
