Smarter Web reaches 2.050 BTC in treasury with new $27 million purchase
- Smarter Web already has 2.050 BTC in treasury
- UK company leads among corporations with bitcoin
- Investment in BTC follows the company's long-term strategy
UK-based Smarter Web Company added another 225 bitcoins to its portfolio, now totaling 2.050 BTC in treasury. The new acquisition was made for approximately US$26,57 million (approximately £19,91 million), at an average price of US$118.080 per bitcoin unit.
The company, which originally operated as a website developer, has focused its operations on a bitcoin-focused treasury strategy since April 2025. This approach has been fueled by successive share subscription rounds. Recently, Smarter Web announced the issuance of 6.057.914 shares at approximately £3,25 each, as part of a 14 million tranche. With just under 8 million shares remaining, a similar new subscription agreement is already being prepared.
Listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange under the ticker SWC, the company reported having invested a total of £166,76 million (equivalent to US$222,54 million) in bitcoin, at an average cost of US$108.556 per unit. With the current price close to US$118.085, the company records an unrealized gain of approximately 8,8%, or US$19,53 million.
In addition to the amount in bitcoin, Smarter Web still has around £500 (US$669) in cash available for new investments in crypto assets, demonstrating that its purchases are expected to continue.
According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Smarter Web currently ranks among the 25 largest public companies holding Bitcoin, leading in the UK. The company surpassed the 1.500 BTC mark in July alone, jumping from 36th to a prominent position in the global rankings, with CEO Andrew Webley aiming to enter the top 20 soon.
Its growth plan, supported by UTXO Management and David Bailey, includes organic expansion, new acquisitions, and a firm policy of allocating Bitcoin as a store of value. Since adopting this strategy, the company's shares have soared nearly 20.000%, reaching £605, before falling 70% and stabilizing around £208,45 last Wednesday.

After Jensen Huang's speech, CoreWeave's stock price, which had fallen by as much as 9.5% in early trading, turned positive. The company's five-year CDS rose above 1,190 basis points during Thursday’s session, a historical high reflecting the cost of debt default protection, while yields on some of its corporate bonds have climbed above 15% to 16%. The five-year CDS spreads for Oracle, Amazon, Google’s parent company, and Meta are all at historically high levels. Deutsche Bank analysts believe that as the AI capital expenditure cycle is increasingly supported by debt rather than free cash flow, investors must place greater emphasis on signals from the credit market. Overall, while AI-related financing costs are not yet excessively high, worrying signs have begun to emerge.
