Semler Scientific (SMLR) announced modest yet strategic additional bitcoin purchases alongside its third-quarter earnings results on Monday evening.

Semler Scientific Chairman Eric Semler emphasized the ongoing bitcoin acquisition, which increases the value of the company for all stakeholders. Semler reassured the audience that the firm would maintain such purchases, using operational cash flow and proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) offering program. 

The company also stated its intentions to seek other funding sources to purchase even more bitcoins in the future.

ATM Stock Program and Financial Results

Since its ATM stock sale program became effective on August 13, Semler Scientific has raised $2.5 million through the sale of 86,734 shares. The third quarter financial result demonstrated that the company has maintained a stable approach toward both Bitcoin plans and its health care segment. 

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2024, total net sales were $13.5 million, a 17% decrease from the year-earlier total of $16.3 million. Despite this decrease, Semler maintained strong income from operations, recording $5.1 million, though down by 20% from the previous year’s $6.3 million.

Operating expenses, including costs of revenues, reached $8.4 million, a 16% reduction compared to $10 million in the prior year. Semler’s pre-tax income stood at $6.4 million, including a $1.1 million unrealized gain from its Bitcoin holdings, representing a 9% decline from last year. Net income saw a slight increase of 2%, totaling $5.6 million, equating to $0.80 per basic share.

Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy and Future Outlook

In addition to its latest purchases, Semler’s total bitcoin holdings reached 1,058 by November 4. The company aims to continue investing in bitcoin as a means to support growth and innovation within its healthcare sector. 

Semler remains committed to its dual focus on cryptocurrency investments and strengthening its healthcare operations, indicating a strategic path forward for its business model and financial health.
