"The RNS does not write the word "preferred." It describes an equity line with a right to a dividend. That is a perpetual preferred in all but name"
Someone's been doing their homework @medc3005. Appreciate the detailed coverage.
The UK's main market (LSE) has something very interesting brewing.

@smarterwebuk is cancelling £210M of share premium.
A dividend war chest, for a share class that will never get a dividend.
So who’s it really for? 🤔
The RNS doesn’t say “preferred” - but @asjwebley says Q4 is “a long time to wait.”
I break the situation down below for @BTCtreasuries 👇
Thank you to @ZynxBTC and @0xbenharvey for your analysis which is included in the article.
Its been a rough couple of weeks with Bitcoin and The Smarter Web Company share price; however, mNAV has got above par when other treasury companies have seem a compression in mNAV over the same period, which i think is not an accident after Monday's Proposed Capital Reduction announcement to issue the first preferred perpetual equity in the UK.

Got to be honest, I’m pretty bummed that I switched off focus for a few mins around end of London close today, and missed mini-Andrew doing his thing

Good job to @smarter_dash team on the excellent #SWC percolator.
Most people still think of AI, Bitcoin, prediction markets, social networks, and capital markets as separate industries.
I increasingly think they’re converging into a single intelligence economy where data, incentives, forecasting, and capital interact in entirely new ways.
The next decade may be defined by the platforms that sit at that intersection.
"A Bitcoin treasury is essentially a game of whoever is the best financial engineers who can perform the best carry trade … selling the weaker currency, fiat, and accumulating as much Bitcoin as possible, the hardest asset."

Really enjoyed appearing on the @DeribitOfficial show with @options_insight and @davidbrickell80.
We discussed markets, Bitcoin Treasury Companies, and why they continue to be net accumulators, with @smarterwebuk being one of them.

HODL is not an acronym.
HODL originated as a misspelling from a drunk guy's wisdom.
The spirit of hodl is a recognition that for the vast majority of people, whenever you feel moved to trade your Bitcoin... you end up with less Bitcoin.
HODL is a recognition that you're better off holding. Sit tight, ignore the emotional pull of taking action, especially when Bitcoin is crashing and you want to take action most.
The wisdom is learned experience. Acceptance that unless you're a very experienced and skilled trader, you're better off holding through the pain.
So HODL.
Sentiment is lower now then during the bottom in 2022.
One of my favorite ways to visualize this is by looking at the rate of "optimism" in Bitcoin OGs language over time... but what is more striking is the engagement rate.
Exact same users.
Deteriorating engagement.
“If Bitcoin grows at 29% a year … and you're able to add 20% Bitcoin per share on top, those compound together to a 55% annual return. That beats the pants off anything else out there. That’s the potential of a Bitcoin treasury company, above and beyond the already great potential of Bitcoin.”

Buying spot Bitcoin or an ETF is fine. But Bitcoin treasury companies are playing a completely different game increasing BTC per share over time using capital markets.

NEW: Sen. Sullivan and Sen. Lummis lead letter to the Fed, FDIC and OCC, calling for revaluation of Basel’s risk weighting for Bitcoin and digital assets.
“A 1,250% risk weight bypasses those calibrated frameworks entirely, applying a blunt penalty …to a transparent, globally traded asset with deep derivatives markets, continuous liquidity, and cryptographic auditability.”
This is a strong signal from Washington that legislators are looking closely at this issue as work on market structure continues. The letter has 6 signatories and 3 are on the Banking Committee.
It’s also great to see BPI’s brief on this topic cited in the third footnote! 😉
We’ll keep you posted on further updates.
The data is out for May 2026 from the UK’s next gen market, Aquis…
Here's a look at the trading volume stats on #SWC's former marketplace, the Aquis exchange, for May 2026 (alongside a treemap for comparison against scale of trading across the last year)
Some noticeable points:
1. Delta Gold Tech (a SWC web customer) continued to lead the way as the most traded Aquis stock by volume in May.
2. Trading liquidity remains on the lighter side for many of the other UK BTCtc's and DATS on Aquis.
(Comparison for May 2026: I count at least 13 DAT or BTC Treasury companies on the Aquis exchange now, which had a combined traded value of £3.5m.
SWC's volume on the LSE for May was in the range of circa £8-9m.)
3. SWC still makes up over 60% of the last year’s traded volume across the whole of Aquis, despite having migrated over to the LSE main market at the start of February.
4. There is a real dearth of new IPO activity in the UK in general….
- Aquis has only 1 new admission in their data for 2026 so far (Roundhouse Digital, way back in January- an AI company with an ETH treasury policy, that has last month changed its name to be more explicitly named on the AI bandwagon as Roundhouse AI…. 🙄)
- Only one other upcoming IPO on Aquis signposted for the future (a uranium company).
- Beyond Aquis, only 1 IPO on the LSE (iFOREX) and 2 IPO’s on AIM this year so far (Tapir Holdings, and Rift Helium).
- Compare this to 2025… 35 IPO’s across the LSE, AIM and Aquis.
What this all says about the state of the UK economy, the wider global market sentiment, conflict and inflationary risks, or the effects of mega-floats in the US lurking on the horizon…?
All of which to say… yes, it is tough out there for many.
But amongst this all, #SWC is quietly positioning for the future.
Good days will come again.
We’re doing OK.
