As an experienced financial analyst, I believe Semler Scientific’s decision to allocate a significant portion of its treasury into Bitcoin is a bold yet strategic move. The company’s Chairman, Eric Semler, has acknowledged the growing importance of Bitcoin as a major asset class with unique characteristics that make it an effective inflation hedge and safe haven in times of global instability.


Semler Scientific revealed the acquisition of 581 Bitcoins, leading to a 25% surge in its stock price during the initial U.S. trading session on Tuesday.

A company with a market value under 200 million dollars before today’s price surge reportedly had $62.9 million in cash and equivalent reserves at the end of the first quarter, based on its latest financial report. This figure is in addition to the company’s first-quarter revenue of $15.9 million and operating cash flow generation of $6.1 million.

This morning’s press release revealed that I, as a crypto investor, bought 581 bitcoins for a total investment of $40 million. Consequently, the average price I paid for each token was approximately $68,850.

As a crypto investor, I strongly believe in the significance of Bitcoin as a major asset class, boasting over $1 trillion in market value. Its unique attributes set it apart as a scarce and finite asset, making it an effective inflation hedge and a safe haven during global turmoil. Compared to gold, which holds around ten times Bitcoin’s market value, the digital currency’s architectural resilience makes it a more appealing choice for me.

Today’s 25% gain has brought the stock to just a 2% decline on a year-over-year basis.
