Smarter Web Company Soars 43% as Bitcoin Treasury Balloons to $36M—Wall Street Suddenly Loves Crypto Again
When hodling pays off: A little-known tech firm just schooled traditional investors on asymmetric upside.
The Bitcoin bump is back
Smarter Web Company's stock ripped 43% higher after revealing its BTC war chest hit $36 million—proving once again that in 2025, crypto remains the quickest path from obscurity to market darling.
From web services to digital gold
While analysts scramble to update their discounted cash flow models (how quaint), the market's voting with its wallet: balance sheet Bitcoin beats boring SaaS metrics any day.
The new corporate playbook
Buy BTC. Wait. Watch shorts panic-cover when the quarterly filing drops. Rinse. Repeat. Who needs product roadmaps when you've got the ultimate scarcity play?
Funny how those 'reckless speculation' warnings disappear when the institutional money starts chasing—right, Jamie?

Will Bitcoin’s treasury trend offer extra gains?
In comparison, Japan-based Metaplanet’s price soared by 78% when it announced its BTC corporate strategy last April.
Over a year later, the stock pumped by nearly 9000%, a windfall for early investors who jumped on the trend early. Whether The Smarter Web Company (TSMC) will follow a similar trend remains to be seen.
However, Thursday’s BTC purchase made the TSMC’s stock among the top three traded in the U.K. In fact, one user stated,
“Absolutely remarkable both our #TeamG₿ treasury companies are in the top 10 most traded on the country’s most used trading platform!!”

A similar trading frenzy has been seen with Metaplanet whenever it announces a BTC purchase.
Worth pointing out, however, that The Smarter Web Company, which specializes in web development and online marketing, had an IPO (Initial Public Offering) in April 2025. It made its first BTC buy on 25 April. It has since been gradually accumulating small quantities.
Thursday’s purchase was its highest bid though, surging from 10.59 BTC to 346.6 BTC – Worth $36 million and ranked 44th on the Bitcoin treasury company’s listing.

Reacting to the development, CEO Andrew Webley signaled more aggressive accumulation ahead. He stated,
“And we are only just getting started.”
Since its debut, The Smarter Web Company’s stock has pumped by over 520%, rivaling Bitcoin’s 28% gains in Q2.
Commenting on the firm’s remarkable returns to shareholders, Bitcoin Magazine’s David Bailey sarcastically said,
“Was just told The Smarter Web Company IPO is the most successful IPO in UK history, dating back over the last 400 years.”
