The Smarter Web Company, a tech firm based in the UK, recently bought 225 BTC for $26.4 million. This purchase, part of their “10 Year Plan,” increases their total Bitcoin holdings to 1,825 BTC, now worth $211.15 million.
The company is listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange with the ticker SWC and ranks 26th globally among public Bitcoin holders.
Smarter Web Shops BTC Again
This latest Bitcoin purchase cost an average of $118,076 per BTC and fits the company’s bold treasury strategy. Since it started accepting Bitcoin payments in 2023, the firm has quickly increased its holdings, adding 1,056 BTC in July alone. CEO Andrew Webley sees Bitcoin as the best asset for future business needs and aims to rank in the top 20 globally for Bitcoin holdings soon.
Although its stock surged by 13,350%–39,258% year-to-date, it dropped 70% after reaching a peak of $709. The company’s Bitcoin reserve helps protect it from market crashes caused by large selloffs.
The acquisition was funded from a strong balance sheet, having raised over $117.28 million since their IPO in April 2025. The company is debt-free, except for a loan that has been repaid, and it used its cash reserves and fundraising to complete the purchase.
The firm’s “10 Year Plan,” launched in April, highlights Bitcoin as a key asset, with a year-to-date yield of 43,787%. The Smarter Web Company plans to make more acquisitions, using its $1.17 million cash to move higher among global Bitcoin holders while staying resilient against market ups and downs and aiming for FTSE 100 status.
Cushion to Selloff Panics
High-profile institutional purchases like The Smarter Web Company show confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value, helping to lessen the emotional impact of whale selloffs, which often cause panic among retail investors. For example, a whale inactive for 14 years recently transferred 14,273 BTC, worth about $1.67 billion, to exchanges through Galaxy Digital.
This large movement raised concerns about a possible sell-off, making crypto investors anxious. Data shows that over 10,000 BTC were traded on Binance, indicating active selling.
By publicly committing to Bitcoin, companies like SWC encourage other investors to hold onto their assets, reducing the risk of widespread liquidations that can lead to crashes.
