The medical technology company Semler Scientific, which holds Bitcoin, announced the appointment of Joe Burnett as the Bitcoin Strategic Director, and plans to buy a total of 105,000 coins within three years. However, its stock price has been continuously declining, and the market capitalization of SMLR is nearing the value of the Bitcoin it holds. Is this an undervaluation or a warning signal?

Semler Scientific hires a Bitcoin Chief Strategy Officer, expecting to acquire 105,000 Bitcoins within three years.

Medical technology company Semler Scientific, which holds Bitcoin, announced on Thursday the hiring of Joe Burnett as its new Bitcoin Strategy Director, and revealed plans to acquire 105,000 Bitcoins over the next three years. Burnett previously served as Director of Market Research at Unchained and has also held positions as Chief Analyst and Product Manager at Blockware Solutions.

Semler Scientific also announced that it will use the proceeds from equity and debt financing, as well as cash flow generated from operations, to purchase Bitcoin, in order to achieve the following objectives:

End of 2025: 10,000 BTC

End of 2026: 42,000 BTC

By the end of 2027: 105,000 BTC.

Is the market capitalization of SMLR close to the value of held Bitcoin, undervalued or a warning signal?

Semler Scientific, which joined the Bitcoin reserve ranks of Strategy ( originally named MicroStrategy) in May last year, is a medical technology company developing products for the detection of peripheral artery disease.

As of June 4, 2025, the company holds 4,449 Bitcoins, valued at approximately 420 million USD. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Semler Scientific currently ranks 14th among publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin.

However, its stock price has dropped from a high of 151 USD in October last year to only 31.94 USD today, with a market capitalization of about 427 million USD, which is almost equivalent to the value of the 420 million USD in Bitcoin it holds!

Previously, the asset management company VanEck also warned that Semler Scientific (SMLR) currently has a market capitalization close to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. If this continues to deteriorate, it may lead to a severe dilution of shareholder value, impacting the company's operations. Like most Bitcoin reserve companies, Semler Scientific is operating at a loss in its core business, coupled with involvement in medical equipment-related litigation, which undermines investor confidence.
