The company\u2019s press release<\/a> confirms that the latest purchases have boosted the total holdings to 2,650 BTC, currently valued at $219.5 million.<\/p>\n

The Bristol-based firm acknowledged that it remains committed to long-term value creation through its \u201c<\/a>10 Year Plan<\/strong><\/a>\u201c<\/a> by converting treasury assets into Bitcoin while tapping capital markets for additional funding when conditions are favorable.<\/p>\n

The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: #SWC<\/a> | OTCQB: $TSWCF<\/a> | FRA: $3M8), a London-listed technology company and the UK\u2019s largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet, announces the purchase of\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/FJ0J9Gbfxp<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe believe that Bitcoin is the best asset the world has ever seen,\u201d said Andrew Webley, CEO of Smarter Web Company.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a public company, SWC can use capital markets to raise funds and strengthen its balance sheet by accumulating Bitcoin,<\/em>\u201d he added<\/p>\n

The company reports generating a BTC yield of 57,718%<\/a> year-to-date, with net asset value growth of 50%.<\/p>\n

UK-listed Smarter Web Company Hunt for Distressed Bitcoin Holdings<\/span><\/h2>\n

The company shows no signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n

In September, CryptoNews reported<\/a> that the UK-listed company is considering acquisitions of struggling competitors to acquire their Bitcoin at discounted prices.<\/p>\n

Founder Andrew Webley told the Financial Times<\/a> that the firm would \u201ccertainly consider<\/em><\/strong>\u201d buying other companies for their Bitcoin at a discount, noting that some crypto treasury companies now trade below the value of their Bitcoin reserves.<\/p>\n

Webley acknowledged the sharp valuation swings, telling the publication that \u201cwe probably got overvalued and now we\u2019re almost certainly undervalued<\/em>,\u201d while expressing concern for shareholders who have experienced the volatility.<\/p>\n

Despite the share price correction, the company briefly achieved a \u00a31 billion market capitalization<\/a> over the summer and has gained approximately 150% year-to-date, outperforming all but one company in the FTSE 350.<\/p>\n

Following a Proven Playbook<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Smarter Web company is following a proven treasury strategy that has helped other public companies transform their financial narratives.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) adopted Bitcoin<\/a> as its primary treasury asset in the US. Since then, other companies have followed, including Metaplanet<\/a> in Japan and Capital B<\/a> in France.<\/p>\n

Today, over 100 public companies hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset. <\/p>\n

When executed properly, this strategy has delivered strong results in major capital markets worldwide.<\/p>\n

According to Bitcoin Treasuries<\/a>, Smarter Web Company now ranks 30th among the top 100 public BTC treasury companies, ahead of American Bitcoin Corp, Microcloud Hologram, and HIVE Digital Technologies.<\/p>\n

Within the UK, Smarter Web Company leads as the top Bitcoin treasury firm with over $200 million in Bitcoin reserves, followed by Satsuma Technology Plc<\/a> with approximately 1,140 BTC worth around $130 million.<\/p>\n

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, suggested that with Smarter Web Company\u2019s continued Bitcoin acquisitions, they could emerge as the dominant Bitcoin treasury company in the UK. <\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cThere will be a dominant Bitcoin treasury company in every capital market.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK\u2019s Largest Investment Platform Remains Wary of Bitcoin Treasury Strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n

However, market analysts have raised concerns<\/a> about the sustainability and strategic clarity of the crypto treasury trend as hundreds of companies worldwide race to accumulate digital assets.<\/p>\n

Just three days ago, Hargreaves Lansdown, the UK\u2019s biggest retail investment platform, urged investors to avoid cryptocurrencies<\/a> despite regulators easing restrictions on crypto investment products.<\/p>\n

Hargreaves Lansdown said that \u201cBitcoin is not an asset class, and we do not think cryptocurrency has characteristics that mean it should be included in portfolios for growth or income<\/em>,\u201d adding that \u201cunlike other asset classes, it has no intrinsic value<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

This cautious position comes days after the UK Financial Conduct Authority lifted its ban on crypto exchange-traded products<\/a> for retail investors, although delays in prospectus approvals mean UK consumers had to wait until today before they can purchase Bitcoin and Ethereum-linked products.<\/p>\n

Despite its cautious stance, Hargreaves Lansdown said<\/a> it plans to allow \u201cappropriate clients<\/em><\/strong>\u201d to trade crypto ETNs starting in early 2026, acknowledging that some traders will want speculative exposure to the market.<\/p>\n
