Semler Scientific Expects Q1 Revenues Of $8.8M-$8.9M; Holds 3,192 Bitcoins Valued At ~$263.5M

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is increasingly popular <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44569292/congressman-buys-up-to-600k-in-bitcoin-etf-after-selling-1-million-in-goldman-sachs-stock-committee-assignment-could-be-red-flag">among corporate buyers</a>, with on-chain data suggesting ongoing accumulation by other large entities.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1907377531143016915">thread</a> on Wedneday, research firm CryptoQuant pointed out that despite public companies accumulating 91,781 BTC in Q1, Bitcoin dropped 12%, from $94,400 to $82,500. 
Tether emerged as a surprise buyer, adding 8,888 BTC, while Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) made the largest move, acquiring 81,785 BTC for more than $8 billion.
Other buyers included The Blockchain Company (+605 BTC), Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) (+1,108 BTC) and Metaplanet (+2,285 BTC) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>). 
On-chain analytics shows more corporate buying could be on the horizon, with Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) planning a $2 billion stock sale for BTC purchases and GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) exploring a $1.3 billion Bitcoin strategy through a convertible note offering.
However, the price decline was driven by long-term holders selling 178,000 BTC in Q1, outweighing corporate accumulation. Additionally, $4.8 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows added further downward pressure on price.

Why It Matters: Glassnode data listed several bullish indicators for Bitcoin:
<ul>
<li>Retail investors (under 1 BTC) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907358419859669116">offloading</a> while whales (10+ BTC) accumulate, highlighting a divergence in investor sentiment.</li>
<li>Bitcoin holders in the 3–6-month range (nearing long-term holder status) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1906713577471234255">holding</a> strong despite volatility. Spending activity from this group is at its lowest since mid-2021, suggesting conviction, not panic selling.</li>
<li>BTC holders from 2020-2022 are still <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907001005251625160">holding</a> significant wealth, despite a 3% decline in their share since the November 2024 peak.</li>
</ul>
Crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1907347270028116195">highlighted</a> Bitcoin ETF outflows of $157.8 million on Tuesday amid concerns over Trump&#8217;s tariff policy.
What's Next: Crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa notes sideways price action, with a lower low on the 4-hour chart.
The traders urges caution, with volatility expected in the current week.

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

Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>),<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42974303/a-better-way-to-play-bitcoin"> a medical technology company</a>, has announced a significant move into the cryptocurrency space with its latest convertible notes offering and plans to acquire Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). 
What Happened: On Jan. 24, Semler Scientific priced an upsized offering of $85 million in 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2030, according to the company&#8217;s <a href="https://ir.semlerscientific.com/news-releases/news-release-details/semler-scientificr-announces-pricing-upsized-offering-850">press release</a>. 
The offering, initially set at $75 million, was increased due to strong investor interest. 
The notes will be convertible into Semler&#8217;s common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $76.44 per share, representing a 25% premium over the stock&#8217;s last reported sale price.
Notably, Semler Scientific intends to use a portion of the net proceeds &#8220;for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin,&#8221; marking a significant shift in the company&#8217;s treasury management strategy. 
This move aligns Semler with other publicly traded companies that have adopted Bitcoin as a treasury asset, such as MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).

Why It Matters: The company&#8217;s decision to invest in Bitcoin comes amid a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption. 
Bitcoin miners, such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) are increasingly adopting &#8220;BTC Yield&#8221; strategies, inspired by MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation approach.
In Asia, Metaplanet Inc. has also been making waves with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41585530/asias-microstrategy-metaplanet-buys-another-10-4m-in-bitcoin-exceeds-1-000-btc-holdings">its Bitcoin investment strategy</a>. The Tokyo-listed company recently purchased an additional $10.4 million worth of Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to over 1,018 BTC, valued at approximately $67.1 million. 
Metaplanet&#8217;s approach mirrors that of MicroStrategy, positioning itself as &#8220;Asia&#8217;s answer to MicroStrategy.&#8221;
MicroStrategy itself has thus far <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43104549/microstrategy-buys-11000-bitcoin-total-holdings-reach-461000-btc">amassed 461,000 Bitcoin</a>.
Semler Scientific last made headlines in December 2024 by expanding its Bitcoin holdings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42362590/semler-scientific-expands-bitcoin-holdings-to-over-180-million-with-latest-purchase">to over $180 million.</a>

In a post last Monday (&#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42974303/a-better-way-to-play-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Better Way To Play Bitcoin?</a>&#8220;), we mentioned an alternative to MicroStrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Semler Scientific, Inc.

As we wrote there, Semler Scientific adopted MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin Balance Sheet Strategy, but&#8211;unlike MicroStrategy, it has a profitable underlying business:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">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 <a href="https://www.chartmill.com/home?a=221937" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Chartmill</a>).

<li>Last quarter&#8217;s earnings: beat on top and bottom lines; made money.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
So much for theory. Let&#8217;s look at what our SMLR trades were and how they&#8217;ve done so far.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our Semler Scientific Trades</h2>
We placed three trades on Semler Scientific, two on Friday, January 10th, when we shared this idea with our Substack subscribers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>We bought shares of SMLR at $51.37.&nbsp;</li>
<li>We opened a vertical spread on SMLR expiring on April 17th, 2025, buying the $55 strike calls and selling the $60 strike calls, for a net debit of $1.50.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
And one last Monday, when we posted about this on ZeroHedge:
<ul>
<li>We bought the the $55 strike calls on SMLR expiring on January 17th, for $0.75.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How That&#8217;s Going So Far</h2>
Semler Scientific closed at $64.68 on Friday, up nearly 26% on the week.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="440" height="564" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200057/SMLR-Chart.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4791" style="width:440px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200057/SMLR-Chart.jpg 440w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200057/SMLR-Chart-234x300.jpg 234w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" /></figure>
So our shares are up about 26%, and our vertical spread is in the money (if SMLR is still above $60 on April 17th, the spread we paid $1.50 for will be worth $5).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Good News And Bad News On Last Monday&#8217;s Trade</h2>
The good news is we sold our $55 strike calls on SMLR on Monday for $2.91, earning a 288% gain.&nbsp;
The bad news is that had we waited until Friday instead, we could have sold them for about $10, which would have given us a gain of about 1,300%.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Approach We&#8217;ll Use Going Forward</h2>
The reason SMLR was on our radar was because it was one of our system&#8217;s <a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/top-names-1162025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">top ten names</a> that week. On Friday, we opened up<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-top-names-chips" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"> a longer term trade</a> on another one of our top names last week, a chip stock. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-top-names-chips"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="921" height="818" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200338/Trade-Alert.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4792" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200338/Trade-Alert.jpg 921w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200338/Trade-Alert-300x266.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/19200338/Trade-Alert-768x682.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px" /></a></figure>
If we get a pullback in that chip stock on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, we may take a flyer on another weekly call option.&nbsp;

<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.

</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>
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>

</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>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;
