Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology company, has fortified its Bitcoin (BTC) portfolio with a recent acquisition valued at $10 million, marking a notable shift toward digital assets.
On April 25, Semler disclosed that it has acquired 111 BTC since February 14, at an average purchase price of $90,000 per coin.
This latest transaction elevates the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to over 3,300 BTC, which are presently valued at approximately $300 million based on current market conditions.
Semler Reports 23.5% Bitcoin Yield
According to Semler, its Bitcoin investment strategy has yielded a 23.5% return year-to-date. This metric serves as an essential performance indicator (KPI) for assessing shareholder value through the accumulation of BTC.
The reported yield reflects the ratio of Bitcoin assets in relation to the company’s outstanding shares, thereby enhancing the individual exposure of each shareholder to the digital currency.
“Semler Scientific utilizes BTC Yield as a KPI to gauge the effectiveness of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, which aims to enhance shareholder wealth,” the company stated.
Historically concentrated on the development of diagnostic tools for chronic diseases, Semler has partially funded its Bitcoin purchases by issuing $125 million in new stock.

Earlier in January, the firm also detailed plans to secure an additional $75 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes.
Semler’s strategic pivot aligns with a broader trend inspired by Michael Saylor’s former company, MicroStrategy, which has seen its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy bolster its stock value by more than 350% in 2024.
Taking a cue from Saylor’s success, several companies, including Semler, have embraced Bitcoin as a vital reserve asset.
As of April 25, corporate entities in the public sector collectively hold roughly $71 billion in Bitcoin, according to data compiled by BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
MicroStrategy remains the predominant corporate holder, boasting a Bitcoin reserve exceeding $50 billion, including a recent purchase of 6,556 BTC at an average price of $84,785 per coin.
Public Companies Boost Bitcoin Holdings by 16% in Q1 2025
In the first quarter of 2025, publicly traded companies saw a 16.1% increase in their Bitcoin holdings, reflecting sustained institutional interest in the leading cryptocurrency despite prevailing market uncertainties.
Data from crypto asset manager Bitwise indicated that total corporate Bitcoin reserves reached approximately 688,000 BTC by the end of Q1, with firms adding a combined 95,431 BTC during the quarter.
According to Bitwise, the aggregate value of these holdings climbed to $56.7 billion, based on a closing price of $82,445 per Bitcoin in Q1, reflecting a 2.2% increase in value.
Meanwhile, the adoption of Bitcoin continues to gain traction at the state level across the U.S.
Bitcoin Law reports that 47 Bitcoin reserve bills have been introduced across 26 states, with 41 of them currently active.
Most recently, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear officially enacted House Bill 701, known as the “Bitcoin Rights” bill, positioning the state among the latest to implement laws safeguarding digital asset users and transactions.
