<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy As A Levered Play On Bitcoin</h2>
In recent years, MicroStrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has emerged as a essentially a levered play on Bitcoin. Over the last year, for example, MicroStrategy was up 468%, while Bitcoin was up 105%. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="820" height="368" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201322/MSTR-BTC-Chart.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4616" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201322/MSTR-BTC-Chart.jpg 820w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201322/MSTR-BTC-Chart-300x135.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201322/MSTR-BTC-Chart-768x345.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin Balance Sheet Strategy.&nbsp;</h2>
What drove MicroStrategy&#8217;s outperformance is its Bitcoin Balance Sheet Strategy. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor is arguably the world&#8217;s leading cheerleader for Bitcoin. After having turned his company into a machine for acquiring Bitcoin, he presented his strategy to Microsoft Corporation&#8217;s board recently. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>
</figure>
The general gist of MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy is this:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Make Bitcoin the company&#8217;s primary treasury asset over cash.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Leverage secondary share offerings and debt offerings to buy more Bitcoin.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Use its underlying business to generate revenue to service the debt incurred to buy more Bitcoin.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Attract Bitcoin enthusiasts as shareholders which supports the share price and facilitates secondary offerings used to buy more Bitcoin.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maybe Another Company Can Do This Better</h2>
Last year, another company decided to adopt MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin Balance Sheet Strategy:&nbsp;Semler Scientific, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>).
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

</figure>
Semler would seem to have a couple of major advantages over MicroStrategy, from an investor&#8217;s perspective. To start with, Semler&#8217;s core business is profitable, unlike MicroStrategy&#8217;s. You can see this in the comparisons below (the quantitative ratings are via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chartmill.com/home?a=221937">Chartmill</a>).&nbsp;
MicroStrategy:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin value as a percentage of market cap: 51.8%&nbsp;</li>
<li>Overall fundamental rating: 2</li>
<li>Profitability rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3</li>
<li>Health rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2</li>
<li>Valuation rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2</li>
<li>Last quarter&#8217;s earnings: missed on top and bottom lines; lost money.</li>
</ul>
Semler Scientific:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin value as a percentage of market cap: 47.3%.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Overall fundamental rating: 6</li>
<li>Profitability rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;9</li>
<li>Health rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8</li>
<li>Valuation rating:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5</li>
<li>Last quarter&#8217;s earnings: beat on top and bottom lines; made money.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Another advantage Semler has is its current obscurity. We had never heard of the company until it appeared in our system&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/top-names-182025">top ten names</a>&nbsp;last week.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/top-names-182025"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="927" height="825" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201737/Top-Names-Post.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4618" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201737/Top-Names-Post.jpg 927w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201737/Top-Names-Post-300x267.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13201737/Top-Names-Post-768x683.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px" /></a></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semler Scientific May Have More Upside From Here</h2>
We have positions in both MicroStrategy and Semler Scientific, but Semler may have more upside than MicroStrategy from here. Its stronger fundamentals and more recent adoption of the Bitcoin Balance Sheet Strategy may mean it has more dry powder to acquire Bitcoin relative to its market cap. It already has almost as much Bitcoin as a percentage of market cap than MicroStrategy does, despite having followed this strategy for less than a year. And if it becomes harder to raise money to buy Bitcoin, having a profitable underlying business means Semler Scientific will continue to be able to buy Bitcoin.&nbsp;
As more investors find out about Semler Scientific and compare it to MicroStrategy, it may become a higher-levered play on Bitcoin than MicroStrategy.&nbsp;

A Better Way To Play Bitcoin?

Semler Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>), a pioneer in developing and marketing technology products and services to healthcare providers to combat chronic diseases, today announced updates regarding its bitcoin (BTC) activity and holdings, capital markets activity, and BTC Yield, a key performance indicator.
BTC Update
Between December 16, 2024 and January 10, 2025, Semler Scientific acquired 237 bitcoins for $23.3 million with proceeds generated from its at-the-market (ATM) offering and operating cash flow at an average price of $98,267 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses. As of January 10, 2025, Semler Scientific held 2,321 bitcoins, which were acquired for an aggregate $191.9 million at an average purchase price of $82,687 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.
ATM Update
As previously disclosed in Semler Scientific's registration statement on Form S-3 that became effective on August 13, 2024 (the S-3 Shelf), Semler Scientific entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM&nbsp;Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald &amp; Co. (Cantor), pursuant to which Semler Scientific may offer and sell from time to time its common stock in an ATM offering.
On December 16, 2024, Semler Scientific filed a second prospectus supplement to its S-3 Shelf to offer an additional $50.0 million of shares under its existing ATM offering with Cantor, increasing the total amount offered under the ATM to $150.0 million.&nbsp; As of January 10, 2025, Semler Scientific has generated approximately $121.8 million of gross proceeds from sales under the ATM offering.
BTC Yield as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
From October 1, 2024 to January 10, 2025, Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 72.6%. From July 1, 2024 (the quarter after Semler Scientific adopted its bitcoin treasury strategy) to January 10, 2025, Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 99.3%.
Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner Semler Scientific believes is accretive to stockholders. Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor's understanding of Semler Scientific's decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock.

Semler Scientific Announces Acquisition Of 237 Bitcoins For $23.3M; Total Holdings Reach 2,321 Bitcoins Valued At $191.9M. ATM Offering Raised $121.8M, Expanding Total Offering To $150.0M. BTC Yield At 72.6% Since October 2024 And 99.3% Since July 2024, Evaluated As KPI

Semler Scientific Purchased Additional 211 BTC For $21.5M Between Dec. 5 And Dec. 15; Now Holds 2,084 BTC

Santa Clara-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253242/microstrategys-michael-saylor-calls-bitcoin-the-manhattan-in-cyberspace-says-its-an-asset-you-could-expect-to-last-1000-years">healthcare technology company</a> Semler Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) has expanded its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings with the purchase of an additional 303 BTC for $29.3 million between Nov. 25 and Dec. 4.
This <a href="https://ir.semlerscientific.com/news-releases/news-release-details/semler-scientificr-announces-updated-btc-and-atm-activity-0">acquisition</a> brings the company&#8217;s total Bitcoin holdings to 1,873 BTC, valued at approximately $180.4 million at current market prices.
The average purchase price for these holdings stands at $78,553 per Bitcoin.
The latest Bitcoin purchase was funded through proceeds from Semler's at-the-market (ATM) equity offering. 
On Nov. 25, the company increased the offering to $100 million, generating $79.8 million in gross proceeds by early December.
Chairman Eric Semler emphasized the company's focus on its Bitcoin treasury strategy, highlighting a BTC Yield of 78.7% since July 2024.

Who&#8217;s Laughing Now?&#8217;</a>
This proprietary metric tracks the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings relative to Semler's assumed diluted shares outstanding, serving as an internal performance indicator.
Semler's adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset is part of a broader diversification strategy aimed at aligning with evolving market trends. 
The company views Bitcoin as a potential store of value and hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty. 
However, it cautioned that the BTC Yield metric should not be interpreted as a traditional financial performance measure, as it is designed primarily for internal assessment.
The announcement coincides with Bitcoin's recent rally above $100,000, underscoring the growing role of digital assets in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42334029/michael-saylors-bitcoin-strategy-drives-microstrategys-490-surge-hedge-fund-cio-says-its-a">corporate treasury management</a>.
Semler's strategy reflects a broader shift among corporations recognizing the value of integrating cryptocurrencies into their financial frameworks. 
As part of its ongoing initiatives, the company has also applied for options trading approval for its stock, signaling an effort to provide additional mechanisms <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42344345/how-microstrategy-etfs-are-powering-the-bitcoin-surge">for investor participation</a>.

Semler Scientific Expands Bitcoin Holdings To Over $180 Million With Latest Purchase

Semler Scientific Acquires 303 BTC, Increasing Holdings To 1,873 BTC Worth $147.1M At Avg. Price Of $78,553; Generates $79.8M From ATM Offering Expansion

Semler Scientific's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NYSE">SMLR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 892 thousand shares sold short, which is 13.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.46 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733332511_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Semler Scientific has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Semler Scientific's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Semler Scientific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.09%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Today, Semler Scientific filed a prospectus supplement to its S-3 Shelf to offer an additional $50.0 million of shares under its existing ATM offering with Cantor, increasing the total amount offered under the ATM to $100.0 million.&nbsp; As of November 22, 2024, Semler Scientific has generated approximately $50.0 million of gross proceeds under the ATM offering.
BTC Yield as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
From October 1, 2024 to November 22, 2024, Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 37.1%. From July 1, 2024 (the quarter after Semler Scientific adopted its bitcoin treasury strategy) to November 22, 2024, Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 58.4%.
"We are thrilled to report a 58.4% BTC Yield and the outstanding progress we are making to accumulate bitcoin on our balance sheet in a highly accretive way for our stakeholders," said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific.
Semler Scientific uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner Semler Scientific believes is accretive to stockholders. Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor's understanding of Semler Scientific's decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock.

12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Alternative online video platform Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) CEO Chris Pavlovski is considering adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to the company's balance sheet.

The Details: On Tuesday, Pavlovski asked, "Should Rumble add Bitcoin to its balance sheet?" in a post on the social media platform X.&nbsp;

The post triggered a response from MicroStrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman and Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, who offered to discuss with Pavlovski "why and how" the company may want to invest in Bitcoin.

Saylor's MicroStrategy has dubbed itself a "Bitcoin Development Company" and currently holds 331,200 Bitcoins, making it the largest institutional holder of the cryptocurrency. MicroStrategy's stock has become a Bitcoin proxy and is up by more than 600% in 2024 and over 100% in the last month alone. 
During a recent X space hosted by asset manager VanEck, Saylor encouraged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42079799/microstrategys-michael-saylor-to-advocate-for-bitcoin-investment-at-microsoft-board-meeting-offers-to-educate-rumble-ceo-with-the-strategy">other companies </a>to hold the cryptocurrency in their reserves.&nbsp;

Rumble CEO Considers Bitcoin Investment, Engages Michael Saylor As Shares Rally

Semler Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday potentially following the company's recent announcement about its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) activity, capital markets updates and performance indicators. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMLR/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Multiple crypto-linked stocks are moving higher on Thursday after Bitcoin hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42109267/bitcoin-hits-new-all-time-high-above-98000-as-spot-etfs-crack-100-billion-net-asset-value-milestone">new all-time highs</a> above $98,000. Some names are outperforming and it appears to be a result of recent Bitcoin accumulation strategies. 
MicroStrategy and MARA Holdings have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/offerings/24/11/42112653/bitcoin-mining-stock-mara-holdings-is-outpacing-peers-whats-going-on">outperformed peers</a> in recent trading sessions. Both companies recently completed offerings and used the proceeds to buy additional Bitcoin as they focus on stockpiling.
Semler Scientific has also adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company announced it raised $21.5 million through the sale of 505,544 shares of its common stock under an at-the-market offering earlier this week. The proceeds partially funded the company&#8217;s recent Bitcoin purchases.
Semler said it purchased 215 Bitcoin for $17.7 million in cash at an average price of $82,502 between Nov. 6 and Nov. 15. The company now holds a total of 1,273 Bitcoin, acquired for a total cost of $88.7 million.
The rise in Semler's stock price suggests investors are optimistic about the company's strategic use of equity to expand its Bitcoin holdings.
SMLR Price Action: Semler Scientific shares were up 18.9% at $70.50 at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
