The Smarter Web Company, a UK-based publicly traded company, has raised £3.7 million ($5 million) to increase its Bitcoin holdings. The funding will be used to expand the company's cryptocurrency investments and strengthen its position in the market. The company has made significant investments in Bitcoin in the past and aims to continue growing its cryptocurrency portfolio.
The Smarter Web Company, a UK-based publicly traded technology firm, has announced the raising of £3.7 million ($5 million) to bolster its Bitcoin holdings. This funding will be directed towards expanding the company's cryptocurrency investments and strengthening its market position [2].The Smarter Web Company has been proactive in integrating Bitcoin into its corporate strategy. In 2023, the company appointed Jesse Myers as Head of Bitcoin Strategy, who has since accumulated 543.52 BTC at an average cost of £77,988 per Bitcoin. This disciplined accumulation strategy reflects a commitment to long-term value creation and market differentiation [2].
The funding will enable the company to continue its Bitcoin acquisitions, mirroring the approach of other firms like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, which have leveraged Bitcoin for inflation hedging and capital diversification. This move is particularly strategic in the evolving UK regulatory environment, where the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has emphasized transparency and risk management [2].
Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains robust, with corporate companies like Strategy, Metaplanet, Smarter Web Company, Capital B, and many others adding to their Bitcoin treasuries. As of August 2025, 213 entities hold a total of $228.85 billion worth of BTC, demonstrating growing adoption and confidence in the cryptocurrency [1].
The company's strategic alignment with UTXO Management, a firm advising global Bitcoin treasuries, further bolsters its institutional credibility. This move is critical in the UK, where only 14% of crypto firm applications are approved by the FCA, creating a high barrier to entry [2].
The Smarter Web Company's model offers several advantages for forward-thinking investors, including capital efficiency through equity raises and convertible securities, and a disciplined acquisition cadence for Bitcoin, mitigating the impact of short-term price swings [2].
