U.K.-listed The Smarter Web Company has completed a £8.1 million capital raise while significantly increasing its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.
Capital Raise Results
The Smarter Web Company has completed a £8.1 million capital raise in a recent funding round by offering shares priced at £2.05 each. The new shares are expected to start trading on August 7, 2025. Since early July, the company has acquired 225 BTC, boosting its total holdings to 2,050 BTC, leading to a 208% increase in its stock within a month.
Impact of BTC Accumulation on Stock Value
The BTC accumulation started on April 28, 2025, when the company announced its BTC Treasury strategy. Initially, the company’s stock did not move much, hitting a 52-week low of £3.125. However, by early June, the company’s market cap skyrocketed to £150 million, with stock prices soaring to £500. Investors are currently paying £3.22 for every £1 held in treasury in Bitcoin and cash.
Comparison with Other BTC-Focused Companies
Many companies are now launching their BTC Treasury strategies. For instance, the struggling Spanish café chain Vanadi Coffee saw its stock surge by 242% after announcing its BTC acquisition. In contrast, Valereum, another U.K. company that started accumulating BTC, hasn’t seen a significant increase in stock price after its initial announcement.
The Smarter Web Company’s BTC accumulation strategy has resulted in a significant rise in stock price and increased investor interest. With more companies following suit, this trend may solidify in the near future.
