Semler has filed for a fundraising approval (via debt) at the SEC, which, if approved, would allow Semler Scientific to raise $500 million.

Though this debt seems a risky affair for Bitcoin purchase, it has been done effectively in the case of Strategy and Metaplanet, with both of these pioneers enjoying significant yield in the current markets despite the downturn.

However, Semler’s yield is a little less and was in the negative territory for Q1, 2025, however, the price of Bitcoin has gone above its net buying price of $78k.

As of today, Semler might be at a 5% positive yield.

Semler seems to be inspired by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which at present owns roughly 530k Bitcoins and enjoys a 25% yield even when the markets are at their bottom.
