Semler Scientific, Inc. has released an update on its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, capital markets activity, and BTC yield, providing specific figures for its recent activities. Between November 25, 2024, and December 4, 2024, the company acquired 303 Bitcoins for $29.3 million, bringing its total holdings to 1,873 Bitcoins, acquired for an aggregate $147.1 million at an average purchase price of $78,553 per Bitcoin.
The company also reported its capital markets activity, noting that it filed a prospectus supplement to its S-3 shelf to offer an additional $50.0 million of shares under its existing ATM offering with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and as of December 4, 2024, Semler Scientific has generated approximately $79.8 million of gross proceeds from sales under the ATM offering.
The BTC yield, a key performance indicator, was reported to be 54.7% from October 1, 2024, to December 4, 2024, and 78.7% from July 1, 2024, to December 4, 2024. This metric represents the percentage change period-to-period of the ratio between Semler Scientific’s Bitcoin holdings and its assumed diluted shares outstanding. The company uses BTC yield as a KPI to assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring Bitcoin and believes this metric 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.
