Great day at the Coinbase Institutional event yesterday.

I spoke on a panel about Digital Asset Treasury companies, sharing what we’re building at The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8), and heard some fantastic insights from speakers including Sir Nick Clegg (Former UK Deputy Prime Minister) and George Osborne (Former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer).

It was great to finally meet in person with several institutional investors we’ve been speaking to over the past few months - and to connect with some new faces as well.

Exciting times ahead for Bitcoin Treasury companies.

I’m excited to announce that @asjwebley of @smarterwebuk will be speaking next week at The Bitcoin Treasuries Digital Conference.

JUST IN: Smarter Web CEO Andrew Webley (@asjwebley) just said "I’m convinced that #Bitcoin treasury companies will become some of the most valuable businesses in the world."🔥

[Andrew Webley @asjwebley]

I’ve seen a lot of comments online recently, and I want to make one thing clear: Bitcoin is doing just fine. It’s only about 10% below its all-time high.

Bitcoin treasury companies, however, are facing a tougher market - including The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8). But I believe we’re getting stronger every day, every week.

There are several reasons for this divergence. At SWC, we’ve always focused on making the right long-term decisions for the benefit of the company and therefore our shareholders.

Looking ahead, I’m convinced that Bitcoin treasury companies will become some of the most valuable businesses in the world. But like Bitcoin itself, the journey will include both periods of excitement and times of market depression.

I deeply appreciate the continued support of our investors - and we’ll keep working to build lasting value for the long term.

Since we listed The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8) in April this year we have had 24 Bitcoin purchases.

Our disclosed Bitcoin holding is 2,550 with the most recent announcement being last Tuesday with 25 Bitcoin added in that update.

This weekend our team has been completing some of the work on V2 of our Bitcoin Treasury dashboard which we hope to make available within the next few weeks.

[Andrew Webley @asjwebley]

Welcome to the weekly summary for The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8).

First, a quick note on the overnight Bitcoin price action.

Over the past six months since SWC went public, many people have asked me about potential Bitcoin drawdowns. My consistent view has been that we are unlikely to see the kind of extreme crashes witnessed in earlier cycles - because Bitcoin today is a fundamentally different asset class.

Overnight, Bitcoin briefly touched approximately $105,000, after trading above $120,000 for most of Friday. It’s currently around $112,500 (which is above SWC’s average purchase price). According to various market data, this move triggered the largest liquidation event in Bitcoin’s history - roughly 20 times greater than the 2020 Covid crash.

In my view, the sheer scale of these liquidations - and the market’s ability to absorb them - demonstrates just how mature and resilient Bitcoin has become. Price movements will always impact investors differently, but personally I’m pleased to see how Bitcoin is becoming the asset class most of us believe it to be.

On Monday we had two announcements. Firstly, the regular update on our Subscription Agreement (ATM style facility) where we have raised an additional £2.6m (before expenses). The average share price obtained for the stock was £1.02 so in my opinion beneficial to the company.

On Monday we also announced a placing at £1.00 per share for an additional £9.7m (before expenses). This included a subscription for £8m from a single new US institution. Raising capital is tough at the moment, and we did this placing at no discount to the market price, by offering the new investors warrants at a 50% premium, and I think it was a good fund raising for all parties including most importantly our existing shareholders.

We are thankful for the work that the @MaximGrp team has put into supporting us so far and we are always appreciative for the advice from our UK broker @Tennyson_Secs. I do also have to give a shout out to our excellent lawyers @SWLawNews and @HillDickinson alongside our lovely adviser @Strand_Hanson. The whole team of advisers worked hard on this deal, and I apologise for keeping everyone up into the early hours on Sunday night / Monday morning to get it all signed.

On Monday I also caught up with @borjamartels on @RoxomTV. Bora has been a great supporter of our company, and I am hoping to drop into their London studio soon to do something in person.

Tuesday saw a small Bitcoin buy announced. After this buy of 25 Bitcoin we now hold 2,550 Bitcoin. The new quarter is now upon us, so the Quarter-to-Date BTC Yield has reset to 0% and we are now just off the starting blocks at 0.1%. Bitcoin yield is a result of the management team’s appetite and ability to take on new capital structured as they see best for the business and it one of our main focuses in assessing our performance. What is an acceptable level of Bitcoin yield that a Bitcoin Treasury company should generate? I have my ideas, and I think that will be something that we all talk about more in the future. I would certainly suggest that when people look at Bitcoin Treasury companies that they focus on Quarter-to-Date BTC Yield.

On Tuesday I joined @TheBitcoin__. The last time we talked on camera was in person in Hong Kong and the market has certainly become harder since then. Markets go through periods of pain and joy and it’s all part of the market cycles. With Bitcoin and Bitcoin Treasury companies you do have to accept the volatility for the potential performance. @TheBitcoin__ is without doubt one of the nicest people in the Bitcoin community and a pleasure to chat to.

On Wednesday I was invited to talk with @AlexandreLaizet from @_ALCPB and that was an enjoyable discussion. Alex is someone who I believe understands the Bitcoin Treasury model better than most and I am enjoying our current “battle” for Bitcoin held on the @BTCtreasuries leader board. Now they are winning (again) but Alex, I have you firmly in my sights!

On Thursday I caught up with @ourgoodlifeuk from the SWC X community and after this livestream a few people said that I came across as a little under pressure and tired. Correct on both! When you care greatly about what you are doing, and you aim to deliver value for your shareholders, it can be tough when you are pushing every single day and making progress without the market giving you credit. However, that is the job and as an entrepreneur for over 15 years it’s something I am used to and we keep pushing to capture every opportunity.

The SWC X community is now over 4,500 members and it’s always great to see the ideas and support. Shout out to: @andysmith_asap @johnsthor1 @JohnCoo70815409 @80IQConviction @doublediamond65 @Michaeljdobbin @Boutiquecapital @InvestorSmarter @DrBitcoinM50862 @the_desert_ape @ZynxBTC @ourgoodlifeuk @AFCB12 and @BitcoinBee21. @BitcoinBee21 I think that you may need to get your orange pen out very soon and add some more dots to the Webley Tracker!

Within the operating business this week we have started the rebrand project which includes the redesign of our websites. We have also been further rolling out some of our new marketing initiatives, aimed at organically growing the web design business. Please note that the rebrand will take time – months not weeks! A special shout out to @LauraStH1991 @lh_smarterwebuk and @aw_smarterwebuk for all the work in the operating business which I care about deeply but have limited time to help with. Please do not forget that if you need help with a web design project then our team would love to help.

Next week should be another busy week. I have the usual mix of different things and then on Wednesday I am heading to London as Coinbase have invited me to speak at an exclusive event that they are holding. There are several well-known political figures attending along with some great industry names. I have asked them if they are recording it for those not invited and they have said they are, and it should be out a day or so after. I will share that when it is available.

Please rest assured that our whole team is focused on the mission ahead of us and we believe that we have the right strategy to deliver the plan. I appreciate your support greatly.

Today, @smarterwebuk announced a capital raise of equity at market price + warrants at a 50% premium.

The US side of the deal was brokered by @MaximGrp and represents a 0-to-1 milestone for SWC raising capital via Wall St.

We look forward to building on this precedent with US institutional fundraising into the future.

Another week has flown by, which means it’s time for The Smarter Web Company weekly update (#SWC $TSWCF $3M8.F).

I started the week by arriving in Singapore on Monday, where I have been until yesterday. The purpose of the Singapore trip was: existing and potential investor meetings, visiting and presenting at @Token2049 and catching up with others in the industry on a variety of subjects.

@Croesus_BTC was conducting the online media appearances for the both of us this week and he started the week on @RoxomTV for a catch up with @borjamartels.

On Wednesday we announced the appointment of Randal Casson, a new Non-Executive Director. Randal is also a Non-Executive Director at the FTSE 100 company, Games Workshop Group PLC and before this he was an audit partner at PwC. His significant experience will be valuable to our mission with specific reference to corporate governance, controls and audits.

On Wednesday I also took part in a panel at @Token2049. Unsurprisingly this was about Digital Asset Treasuries and it was good to see how advanced we are with Bitcoin Treasury companies and how these other companies can learn from us in terms of capital structure, metrics and investor communications. It does not really matter if you believe in the assets they have selected, it is still interesting to see how they adopt the model. The rest of Wednesday was spent meeting different people and media commitments. Then a few hours in the hotel room catching up on emails.

Thursday was a similar format to Wednesday with a panel discussion with @Cointelegraph to end the day. Shortly after I did the panel, which was streamed live, @Croesus_BTC was back online with @ourgoodlifeuk and I can recommend watching this stream as it was a good one (you can find it on my timeline).

On Friday I had several investor meetings with the last of these starting at 17:00. After this it was a taxi to the airport for the 23:00 plane and back to the UK. I am currently about 2 hours away from landing as I post this.

As always, I must give a shout out to the SWC community on X. We are close to 4,500 members in the community now and it will be interesting to see how this grows from here. Shout out to: @andysmith_asap @johnsthor1 @JohnCoo70815409 @80IQConviction @doublediamond65 @Michaeljdobbin @Boutiquecapital @InvestorSmarter @DrBitcoinM50862 @the_desert_ape @ZynxBTC @ourgoodlifeuk @AFCB12 and @BitcoinBee21.

Special shout out to @andysmith_asap who made the trip over to Singapore: it’s a pleasure to spend time with you.

With a shorter update this week, perhaps it feels like we have achieved less than in previous weeks? In my view we end the week better than where we started. As always, I am grateful for the support.

[Andrew Webley @asjwebley]

Yesterday @Croesus_BTC chatted with @ourgoodlifeuk for "A Week In The World Of SWC Episode #17".
