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.
