Semler Scientific Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with $88M Investment

Healthcare technology and software company Semler Scientific recently announced the acquisition of 871 Bitcoin for $88.5 million. The purchases, made between January 11 and February 3, were completed at an average price of $101,616 per BTC, according to the company’s press release on February 4.

The investment strategy appears to be paying off, as Semler currently holds a paper gain exceeding 150% on its Bitcoin treasury. From July 1—the first full quarter after adopting its Bitcoin strategy—until February 3, the firm reported an aggregate yield of 152%, with a 22% gain recorded so far in 2025.

Growing Bitcoin Reserves and Funding Sources

Semler’s total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 3,192 BTC, purchased for a combined $280 million at an average acquisition price of $87,854 per coin. At current market prices, this investment is valued at approximately $313 million, securing Semler’s position as the 10th-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, based on data from Bitcoin Treasuries.

The company financed its Bitcoin purchases by leveraging funds from a senior convertible notes offering and the partial monetization of its minority stake in Monarch Medical Technologies. In a January 23 announcement, Semler revealed plans to raise $75 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes to support its continued Bitcoin acquisition strategy .

Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific, expressed enthusiasm about the firm’s progress, stating, “We are thrilled with the progress we are making in growing our Bitcoin stockpile.” He also highlighted the strategic decision to monetize a portion of the investment in Monarch Medical to fuel further Bitcoin purchases

Corporate Bitcoin Trends

While Semler Scientific aggressively expands its Bitcoin holdings , MicroStrategy—the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin—has temporarily halted its shopping. Michael Saylor’s company holds 471,107 BTC, currently valued at around $46 billion.

Semler’s unwavering focus on Bitcoin has been evident since November when CEO Doug Murphy-Chutorian stated that the firm was “laser-focused” on building its crypto treasury. With a growing stockpile and strategic financial maneuvers, Semler remains a notable player in the evolving landscape of corporate Bitcoin investments.
