Semler Scientific Announces
Updated BTC Activity; Monetizes Minority Investment to Purchase BTC;
Purchased Additional 871 BTC; Now Holds 3,192
BTC; YTD BTC Yield of 152.2% Since July 1, 2024
Santa Clara, CA - February 4, 2025 - Semler
Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMLR), a pioneer in developing and marketing technology products
and services to assist its customers in evaluating and treating chronic diseases, today announced updates regarding its bitcoin
(BTC) activity and holdings, and BTC Yield, a key performance indicator.
Between January 11, 2025 and February 3, 2025, Semler Scientific
acquired 871 bitcoins for $88.5 million with proceeds generated from its January 2025 senior convertible notes offering and monetization
of a portion of its minority investment in Monarch Medical Technologies, LLC. The average price of its bitcoin purchases was $101,616
per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses. As of February 3, 2025, Semler Scientific held 3,192 bitcoins, which were acquired for
an aggregate $280.4 million at an average purchase price of $87,854 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.
BTC Yield as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
From January 1, 2025 to February 3, 2025, Semler Scientific's
BTC Yield was 21.9%. From July 1, 2024 (the first full quarter after Semler Scientific adopted its bitcoin treasury strategy) to
February 3, 2025, Semler Scientific's BTC Yield was 152.2%.
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 or instruments convertible to common stock.
"We are thrilled with the progress we are making in growing our
bitcoin stockpile," said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific. "We were especially pleased with our successful
convertible notes offering, which was substantially oversubscribed with investor demand. Additionally, we were pleased to have monetized
a part of our investment in Monarch Medical in order to buy more bitcoin."

Important Information about BTC Yield KPI
BTC Yield is a KPI that represents the percentage change period-to-period
of the ratio between Semler Scientific's bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding
refers to the aggregate of Semler Scientific's actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of each period plus all additional
shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and exercise of all outstanding stock option
awards. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method and does not take into account any vesting conditions
(in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any stock option awards or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of
outstanding convertible notes or settlement of capped calls.
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 its decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional
shares of its common stock. When Semler Scientific uses this KPI, management also takes into account the various limitations of this metric,
including that it assumes the outstanding convertible notes will be converted into shares of common stock and the capped calls will be
settled in accordance with their respective terms.
Additionally, this KPI is not, and should not be understood as, an
operating performance measure or a financial or liquidity measure. In particular, BTC Yield is not equivalent to a "yield"
in the traditional financial context. It is not a measure of the return on investment Semler Scientific's stockholders may have
achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing stock of Semler Scientific, or a measure of income generated by Semler
Scientific's operations or its bitcoin holdings, return on investment on its bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure
of the performance of its business or assets.
The trading price of Semler Scientific's common stock is informed
by numerous factors in addition to the amount of bitcoins Semler Scientific holds and number of actual or potential shares of its stock
outstanding. As a result, the market value of Semler Scientific's shares may trade at a discount or a premium relative to the market
value of the bitcoin Semler Scientific holds. BTC Yield is not indicative nor predictive of the trading price of Semler Scientific's
shares of common stock. As noted above, this KPI is narrow in its purpose and is used by management to assist in assessing whether Semler
Scientific is using equity capital in a manner accretive to stockholders solely as it pertains to its bitcoin holdings.
In calculating this KPI, Semler Scientific does not take into account
the source of capital used for the acquisition of its bitcoin. Semler Scientific notes in particular, it has acquired bitcoin using cash
flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of shares in its at-the-market (ATM) offering, as well as from the offering of convertible
notes, which at the time of issuance and including the capped calls had, and may from time-to-time thereafter have, conversion prices
above the current trading prices of Semler Scientific's common stock, or as to which the holders of such convertible notes may not
then be entitled to exercise the conversion rights of the notes. Conversely, if Semler Scientific's convertible notes mature or
are redeemed without being converted into common stock, Semler Scientific may be required to sell shares in quantities greater than the
shares such convertible notes and related capped calls are convertible into or generate cash proceeds from the sale of bitcoin, either
of which would have the effect of decreasing the BTC Yield due to changes in Semler Scientific's bitcoin holdings and shares in
ways that were not contemplated by the assumptions in calculating BTC Yield. Accordingly, this metric might overstate or understate the
accretive nature of Semler Scientific's use of capital to buy bitcoin because not all bitcoin may be acquired using proceeds of
equity and convertible debt offerings and not all issuances of equity may involve the acquisition of bitcoin.
Semler Scientific's ability to achieve positive BTC Yield may
depend on a variety of factors, including its ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its fixed charges and other expenses,
as well as factors outside of its control, such as the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance
is not indicative of future results.
Semler Scientific has historically not paid dividends on its shares
of common stock, and by presenting this KPI, Semler Scientific makes no suggestion that it intends to do so in the future. Ownership of
common stock does not represent an ownership interest in the bitcoin Semler Scientific holds.
Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures
contained in Semler Scientific's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This KPI is merely a supplement, not
a substitute. It should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand its limited purpose and many limitations.
