Semler Scientific has acquired an additional 455 Bitcoin for $50 million, according to a May 23 SEC filing. The Nasdaq-listed healthcare tech firm now holds 4,264 BTC, valued at approximately $474.4 million based on recent prices.

The company purchased the new Bitcoin between May 13 and May 22 at an average price of $109,801 per coin, inclusive of fees. It financed the acquisition through proceeds from its ongoing at-the-market equity offering, launched in April 2025. So far, Semler has raised $114.8 million under this $500 million program by issuing over 3 million shares.

This strategic move strengthens Semler’s commitment to a Bitcoin-focused treasury policy, first adopted in May 2024. With this latest purchase, Semler’s aggregate Bitcoin cost stands at $390 million, with an average price of $91,471 per BTC. The holdings are now worth $474.4 million, despite Bitcoin trading at $108,915, down 2.5% over the past 24 hours but up 16% in the last month, according to CoinGecko.

Bitcoin Gains Amid Legal Heat

Chairman Eric Semler highlighted a 25.8% year-to-date increase in the firm’s Bitcoin Yield. This metric, which tracks the percentage growth in Bitcoin per diluted share, is gaining traction among public companies holding Bitcoin. Semler uses it to assess performance and enhance shareholder transparency. 

At the same time, legal pressure is mounting. Bragar Eagel & Squire, a U.S. law firm, has launched an investigation into potential securities law violations by Semler Scientific. The firm invited shareholders who have “suffered losses” to get in touch regarding possible legal claims.

This legal scrutiny follows earlier disclosures about a Department of Justice probe. Semler revealed in February that the DOJ may file a complaint tied to reimbursement practices involving its QuantaFlo diagnostic device. The investigation, which started in 2017, included follow-ups in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. A recent settlement attempt between the DOJ and Semler failed.
