Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology firm, has expanded its Bitcoin treasury with the addition of $10 million worth of BTC, deepening its commitment to a crypto-focused financial strategy. According to a statement released on April 25, the company acquired 111 BTC at an average price of approximately $90,000 per coin, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to over 3,300 BTC—currently valued around $300 million.
The latest purchase marks a notable milestone, with Semler reporting a 23.5% increase in its Bitcoin yield year-to-date. Bitcoin yield, which measures the ratio of Bitcoin holdings to outstanding company shares, reflects the growing exposure of Semler shareholders to Bitcoin’s price movements.
“Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield as a [key performance indicator] to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring Bitcoin in a manner Semler Scientific believes is accretive to stockholders,” the company stated.
By leveraging Bitcoin yield as a core metric of shareholder value, Semler aligns itself with a broader movement among corporations embracing Bitcoin not just as a reserve asset, but as a key financial growth lever. The move positions Semler alongside institutional players like MicroStrategy, as more companies integrate crypto exposure into traditional equity structures—further blurring the lines between legacy finance and the digital asset economy.
Semler Scientific’s Bitcoin Strategy Pays Off
The healthcare company revealed that it accumulated its Bitcoin treasury at an average purchase price of nearly $89,000 per coin. With Bitcoin now trading around $95,000, according to CoinGecko data as of April 25, Semler’s crypto holdings are firmly in profit.
Known primarily for developing diagnostic tools for chronic disease detection, Semler Scientific has steadily increased its Bitcoin exposure over the past year. To finance its aggressive accumulation, the company issued approximately $125 million in new stock and, earlier this year, announced plans to raise an additional $75 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes.
Semler’s strategy mirrors the growing trend of corporate entities utilizing digital assets as a diversification and value-growth strategy within their financial models, marking a notable evolution in corporate treasury management.
Corporate Bitcoin Buying Accelerates as Semler and Others Follow Strategy’s Lead
The corporate race to accumulate Bitcoin is gaining momentum, with firms like Semler Scientific now joining a trend largely popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has paid off handsomely—its stock surged over 350% in 2024 alone, according to FinanceCharts, largely fueled by Bitcoin’s rising price.
Inspired by such success, an increasing number of companies are building substantial Bitcoin treasuries. As of April 25, public companies collectively hold around $71 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET—a significant marker of Bitcoin’s growing role in corporate finance.
Strategy remains the undisputed leader, boasting a Bitcoin treasury valued at over $50 billion. Just recently, during the week of April 14, the company added another 6,556 BTC at an average cost of $84,785 per coin, reinforcing its steadfast commitment to the asset.
Despite the surge in corporate Bitcoin holdings, institutional investors via exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to dominate the space. ETFs now collectively manage approximately $110 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to Coinglass data as of late April, underscoring the broadening institutional adoption of digital assets.
