Semler Scientific currently holds 3,808 BTC valued at approximately $395 million, boasting a 22% Bitcoin yield year-to-date. The company recently launched a public dashboard to transparently track its BTC holdings and related key performance indicators.
Since initiating its Bitcoin acquisition strategy in May 2024, Semler acquired 894 BTC in Q1 2025 and added 616 more by May 12, with an average purchase price of $89,277 per BTC. Their latest acquisition involved buying an additional 174 BTC for $17.8 million, solidifying their position as the twelfth-largest public company holder of Bitcoin.
Despite these gains in crypto assets, Semler’s financial results for Q1 2025 showed some headwinds. The company reported revenue of $8.8 million, marking a 44% decline year-over-year, and a net loss of $64.7 million. These results contributed to a 32% drop in Semler’s share price during 2025. CEO Doug Murphy-Chutorian remains optimistic, expecting growth and increased cash flow from FDA-cleared products to underpin future Bitcoin treasury growth.
Further financial complexity arose with Semler settling a $30 million civil investigative demand with the U.S. Department of Justice. This resolution clears some uncertainty as the company continues to navigate regulatory and business challenges.
Meanwhile, 2025 is witnessing a surge in corporate Bitcoin acquisitions overall. Notably, stablecoin issuer Tether purchased 4,812 BTC for $458.7 million recently for its Twenty One Capital venture. Simultaneously, Michael Saylor’s investment strategy added a staggering 13,390 BTC valued at $1.34 billion on May 12 alone. These significant corporate buys have influenced Bitcoin prices, driving them to an intraday peak of $104,836 before a slight pullback in subsequent trading sessions.
Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific, emphasized their strategy: "We continue to accretively grow our Bitcoin arsenal using operating cash flow and proceeds from debt and equity financings." The launch of a public BTC dashboard aims to maintain transparency and build trust with investors and the broader public.
