SWC CEO Andrew Webley Announces Bitcoin Acquisition and £542K Fundraising Success

The Smarter Web Company has recently increased its Bitcoin holdings once again. On February 14, CEO Andrew Webley publicly announced that the company purchased an additional 15 BTC. This acquisition represents their second Bitcoin buy of the year, bringing their total Bitcoin accumulation in 2026 to 25 BTC.

Simultaneously, the company successfully raised £542,897 through an ATM-style share issuance. Despite a challenging market environment, Webley emphasized that Smarter Web remains committed to expanding its Bitcoin treasury with a focus on long-term growth rather than reacting to short-term price fluctuations.

Expanding the Bitcoin Treasury

Andrew Webley confirmed that this week’s purchase added 15 BTC to their portfolio following an earlier acquisition in 2026. With these combined purchases, Smarter Web now holds a total of 25 BTC for the year so far. He described this recent buy as prudent given current market conditions and indicated plans for further acquisitions down the line. The company continues to regard Bitcoin as a fundamental asset within its treasury strategy.

It has been another busy week for The Smarter Web Company. One aspect we perhaps do not speak about often enough is the importance of people. Businesses do not execute strategy – people do…

The CEO framed this move as part of a larger transition toward what he terms “digital capital.” He acknowledged that volatility is inherent in Bitcoin’s history and often tests investor resolve during downturns; however, he expressed confidence that those holding long term have generally seen positive returns over time.

Capital Raised Through Share Offering

Apart from buying more Bitcoins, Smarter Web also completed a fundraising round securing £542,897 before expenses via an ATM-style share facility with shares priced around £0.38 each.

Webley did not indicate any immediate shifts in corporate strategy but stated these funds would be used both for ongoing operational needs and further growth of their treasury assets. He highlighted how strengthening all aspects of business operations remains critical and credited his team along with community support for putting SWC into its strongest position yet.

Sustained Institutional Interest

Despite prevailing market softness, institutional demand for Bitcoin appears robust according to Andrew Webley who noted many institutions see current valuations as attractive entry points aligned with SWC’s long-range investment thesis.

The CEO also pointed out upcoming events such as Strategy CEO Phong Le speaking at May’s Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference hosted by SWC — reflecting growing engagement within industry circles.

Additionally, efforts continue on enhancing SWC’s proprietary analytics platform focused on tracking corporate bitcoin treasuries; recent upgrades improved dashboard responsiveness while future releases may incorporate new metrics driven by user feedback from their community base.

A Commitment To Long-Term Digital Capital Growth

Closing his update with forward-looking remarks Andrew Webley outlined plans involving more conferences and meetings targeting institutional investors over coming months aimed at reinforcing operations alongside expanding bitcoin reserves further still amid ongoing market uncertainty.
He reiterated his core conviction: society is steadily transitioning toward digital capital frameworks where temporary volatility should be viewed as part of this evolution rather than opposition.
For now, Smarter Web intends to continue building up its bitcoin holdings while navigating unsettled markets.
