The Smarter Web Company (SWC) has expanded its corporate Bitcoin holdings, purchasing an additional 15 BTC this week. CEO Andrew Webley announced the acquisition in a public post on February 14, 2026. This marks the company's second Bitcoin purchase of the year, bringing its total accumulation for 2026 to 25 BTC.
Webley framed the purchase as part of a broader shift towards what he termed "digital capital." He described the buy as acceptable given current market levels but noted that SWC aims to increase future acquisitions, continuing to treat Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. He acknowledged that volatility is normal in Bitcoin's history and that the asset often tests investor conviction during downturns, but maintained that long-term holders have generally benefited over time.
In parallel, the company completed a capital raise, securing £542,897 (before expenses) through an ATM-like share facility. The shares were sold at an average price of approximately £0.38 each. Webley stated the funds would support ongoing operations and the growth of the treasury, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the company across all areas. He signaled no immediate change in strategy, asserting that SWC is now in its strongest-ever position, crediting the team and wider community.
Despite recent market weakness, Webley asserted that institutional interest in Bitcoin remains solid. He observed that many institutions see current prices as an entry point, aligning with the company's long-term thesis. He also highlighted upcoming events, noting that Strategy CEO Phong Le will speak at the company's Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference in May.
Webley concluded with a forward-looking message, stating SWC is preparing for more conferences and institutional meetings in the coming months to strengthen operations and expand the Bitcoin treasury. He reiterated a core belief: the world is moving towards digital capital, and periods of uncertainty are part of this transition.
