Semler has come a long way
Semler has come a long way from previous financing methods. Previously, the company relied on stock offerings and revenue growth from its flagship product known as QuantaFlo®a diagnostic tool that helps detect cardiovascular diseases such as PAD (peripheral artery disease). The shift to convertible notes is similar to a reversal of the approach of Bitcoin pioneers such as MicroStrategy led by Michael Saylor.
Saylor has been very vocal and supportive of companies leveraging Bitcoin for treasury management. Saylor also recently commented on his X account, saying: “$SMLR It is a company on Bitcoin Standard,” which gave the company a boost to do better with its Bitcoin strategy. This approach has enhanced Semler’s appeal to investors seeking exposure to the healthcare and blockchain sectors.
Future outlook
With Quantaflow®With Semler’s increased use of Bitcoin, the company is also working to protect shareholders’ investments by reducing the impact of new shares being issued. As the company makes a good attempt to innovate and stay ahead of the digital asset trend, it is poised for long-term success.
