Semler Scientific has reported a $41.8 million unrealised loss on its Bitcoin holdings in the first quarter of 2025, underscoring the risks of crypto exposure among corporates.<\/p>\n
The healthcare technology firm disclosed the loss in an April 15 filing<\/a> with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), citing a decline in the fair value of its Bitcoin portfolio between 31 December and 31 March.<\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s price declined by 12% during the quarter, falling from $93,500 to $82,350. That drop led to a sharp markdown in Semler\u2019s crypto holdings, which stood at 3,182 BTC, valued at $263.5 million as of March 31.<\/p>\n The situation worsened in early April, with Bitcoin sliding below $75,000\u2014a 32% correction from its all-time high.<\/p>\n Despite this, the company has not altered its crypto strategy. CEO Doug Murphy-Chutorian had earlier noted Semler\u2019s dual focus on healthcare innovation and Bitcoin acquisition, a stance that remains unchanged in light of the recent downturn.<\/p>\n While Semler faced paper losses, public companies overall expanded their Bitcoin exposure.<\/p>\n Data from Bitwise shows that listed firms added 95,431 BTC in Q1 2025\u2014a 16.1% increase from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n By March-end, these holdings totalled 688,000 BTC, with a combined valuation of $56.7 billion based on the quarter\u2019s closing price of $82,445 per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n According to blockchain tracker Bitbo<\/a>, Semler is now the twelfth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, surpassing companies such as Boyaa Interactive.<\/p>\n The trend highlights sustained institutional demand, even amid market volatility.<\/p>\n Semler\u2019s quarterly revenue was estimated between $8.8 million and $8.9 million, with operating losses projected between $1.3 million and $1.5 million.<\/p>\n The company also reported $10 million in cash and equivalents as of March 31.<\/p>\n Along with this, Semler disclosed a preliminary agreement to settle a civil investigation by the Department of Justice for close to $30 million. The filing did not specify the nature of the probe.<\/p>\n Semler also filed plans to raise up to $500 million through securities offerings, with part of the proceeds potentially going towards further Bitcoin acquisitions.<\/p>\n The company stated it may offer and sell securities \u201cfrom time to time\u2026 up to an aggregate value of $500,000,000.\u201d<\/p>\n Shares of Semler, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SMLR, are down 36% so far in 2025.<\/p>\n The company acknowledged recent price swings and warned of continued volatility ahead, although it has not indicated any change to its digital asset strategy.<\/p>\n At the same time, interest in Bitcoin at the policy level continues to build in the US.<\/p>\n Data from Bitcoin Law indicates that 47 Bitcoin-related bills have been introduced across 26 states, with 41 still active.<\/p>\n On April 5, Kentucky became the latest to adopt digital asset protections with the passage of House Bill 701\u2014the \u201cBitcoin Rights\u201d law\u2014under Governor Andy Beshear.<\/p>\n The post Semler Scientific records $41.8M Bitcoin loss in Q1 2025 as BTC slumps 12%<\/a> appeared first on CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Company held 3,182 BTC worth $263.5 million.
