The Smarter Web Company added more Bitcoin to its balance sheet this week. CEO Andrew Webley shared the update in a public post on February 14. He confirmed the firm bought 15 BTC. This marks its second purchase of the year. This brings the company’s total Bitcoin acquired in 2026 to 25 BTC. 

At the same time, the firm raised £542,897 through an ATM-style share facility. Webley said the company continues to build its Bitcoin treasury despite weak market sentiment. He also stressed that the firm is focused on long term strategy. Rather than short term price swings.

New Bitcoin Purchase Expands Treasury

Andrew Webley said the company added 15 BTC during the week. This follows an earlier purchase in 2026. As a result, the total Bitcoin acquired this year now stands at 25 BTC. He described the buy as acceptable given current market conditions. But he also noted that Smarter Web aims to increase future purchases.

SWC CEO framed the move as part of a broader shift toward what he called “digital capital.” He also said volatility is normal in Bitcoin’s history. According to him, the asset often tests investor conviction during downturns. Still, he believes long term holders have usually benefited over time.

SWC Raises £542K Through Share Facility

Alongside the Bitcoin purchase, the Smarter Web Company completed a capital raise. It secured £542,897 before expenses through its ATM-style facility. The shares were sold at an average price of about £0.38 each. 

Andrew Webley didn’t signal any immediate change in strategy. Instead, he said the funds would support ongoing operations and treasury growth. He also emphasized the importance of strengthening the business across all areas. According to the SWC CEO, the company is now in its strongest position yet. He credited the team and the wider community for that progress.

Institutional Interest Remains Strong

Despite the recent market weakness, Andrew Webley said institutional interest in Bitcoin remains solid. He noted that many institutions now view current prices as an entry point. This outlook aligns with the company’s long term thesis. He also highlighted upcoming events and partnerships. Strategy CEO Phong Le will speak at the company’s Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference in May. 

Andrew Webley said he is pleased with the growing list of speakers. In addition, the company continues to promote its Bitcoin treasury analytics tools. It recently improved the speed of its dashboard. Future updates may add more metrics based on community feedback.

Focus Remains on Long-Term Digital Capital Strategy

SWC CEO closed the update with a forward looking message. He said SWC is preparing for more conferences and institutional meetings in the coming months. The goal is to strengthen operations and expand its Bitcoin treasury. He also repeated a core belief behind the strategy. In his view, the world is moving toward digital capital. Periods of uncertainty are part of that transition, not a contradiction of it. For now, the company plans to keep building its Bitcoin reserves while markets remain uncertain.
