The Smarter Web Company has bought 25 more Bitcoin for about £1.5 million. This brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 2,830 BTC.
The company says the purchase is part of its long-term “10 Year Plan.” While the business still focuses on web design and online marketing, Bitcoin is now becoming a major part of its strategy.

This is important because the company is putting a large amount of its money into Bitcoin instead of keeping it in cash or traditional investments. The company believes Bitcoin will grow in value over time and help increase shareholder value.
What the company is doing with the Bitcoin
The company is mainly holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset. It is not buying Bitcoin to spend it on daily business activities. Instead, it sees Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
The company is also using its Bitcoin holdings to access loans. The latest update showed it borrowed £16 million through a Coinbase credit facility backed by its Bitcoin. This means the company can use its Bitcoin as collateral to raise more money without selling the asset.
This strategy allows the company to keep increasing its Bitcoin position while still having access to cash. If Bitcoin prices rise, the company could benefit heavily. But if prices fall sharply, the company could face pressure because it also has debt tied to those holdings.
More companies are following the same strategy
The Smarter Web Company is not the only company doing this. Strategy became famous for buying large amounts of Bitcoin and turning it into a key part of its business model. Metaplanet has also followed a similar path.
Many companies now see Bitcoin as a way to protect company reserves and attract investors interested in crypto. For smaller companies, owning Bitcoin can also bring more market attention.
Still, the strategy comes with risk. The company’s future is now more connected to Bitcoin’s price movements. If Bitcoin performs well, the company may benefit strongly. If the market drops, the risks could increase just as fast.
