Semler Scientific Announces Additional Bitcoin Purchases

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 26, 2024

"We recently purchased additional bitcoins using primarily cash from operations as well as capital raised through our at-the-market equity program," said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific. "We are encouraged by the growing institutional adoption of bitcoin. It was recently reported that for the first time, institutions own more than 20% of bitcoin ETF assets under management. We believe this increasing institutionalization will drive value for both bitcoin prices and for our stockholders."
