Semler Scientific Expands Bitcoin Holdings, Boosting Stock Price Amid Crypto Surge

Healthcare company Semler Scientific has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings with a new purchase of 215 BTC, worth $17.7 million.

This latest acquisition, made between November 6 and November 15, brings the firm’s total Bitcoin stash to 1,273 BTC. The company paid an average price of $82,502 per Bitcoin, including all associated fees.

Semler has been building its Bitcoin position since May, when it initially purchased $40 million worth of Bitcoin, inspired by MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment model. The firm has since made additional large BTC buys, increasing its holdings to over 1,000 BTC earlier this month.

The company’s strategy is paying off, with Semler reporting an 18.9% increase in Bitcoin yield from October 1 to November 15. Overall, its Bitcoin holdings have generated a 37.3% yield since the acquisition began. The firm’s decision to purchase Bitcoin at a time when the cryptocurrency is experiencing record highs has proven advantageous, as all of its holdings are now profitable.
