ATM Offering Fuels Bitcoin Purchases

Notably, to fund its recent Bitcoin acquisitions, Semler Scientific utilized proceeds from its ongoing at-the-market (ATM) offering. On November, the company filed a prospectus supplement to its existing registration statement, increasing the total offering to $100 million. 

As of December 4, 2024, the company has generated $79.8 million in gross proceeds through this ATM offering. This is being managed under a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.

The additional funding supports the recent Bitcoin purchases and positions the company to further execute its corporate initiatives. Consequently, Semler Scientific has managed to acquire substantial Bitcoin holdings while maintaining liquidity.

In addition, Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield, a performance metric that evaluates the return on its BTC acquisition strategy. From October 1 to December 4, 2024, the company reported a BTC Yield of 54.7%, while the cumulative yield since adopting its Bitcoin treasury strategy in July 2024 reached 78.7%.

This performance metric underscores the company’s approach to increasing shareholder value through Bitcoin investments. The reported BTC Yield reflects the alignment of its acquisition strategy with market dynamics and capital generation efforts.

At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $103,242, up 7% in the past 24 hours. Its market cap has reached $2.04T, with a 24-hour trading volume of $132.57B, marking a 116% increase. The price rebounded strongly from $95,980 to over $103K, maintaining upward momentum. 

Following the recent BTC rally, Bitcoin adoption has been on the rise, with more companies integrating crypto into their corporate strategies. Worksport, a US-based manufacturer announced its decision to adopt Bitcoin and XRP as part of its corporate treasury, with the company set to purchase up to $5 million in these digital assets.
