The fresh buys move Semler to the 14th-largest bitcoin treasury among publicly-traded companies, just above GameStop’s 4,710 BTC stash.
Semler reported a year-to-date Bitcoin Yield of 30.3%, a figure it highlights as a key performance indicator for investors. Bitcoin Yield reflects the growth of bitcoin per share, rather than yield earned on its BTC.
The recent purchases were funded through proceeds from an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering, which has now raised $175 million since April.
Semler shares are flat in premarket action, with bitcoin trading modestly lower to $117,900.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
