SWC CEO Andrew Webley on £2.6M Fundraise and BTC Treasury Boost

The Smarter Web Company is closing another strong week. This is led by new funding, a Bitcoin purchase and growing recognition in traditional finance and crypto circles. CEO Andrew Webley shared his reflections in the company’s weekly update. He highlights key milestones and sets the stage for more expansion ahead. SWC began the week by announcing a £2.6 million fundraising through its ATM-style facility. The proceeds came from shares placed in the market. By its partner over a two-week period spanning late August and early September.

Webley described the move as a vital step in strengthening SWC financial position. The added capital will support the company’s strategy of building a strong Bitcoin Treasury. While positioning SWC as a long term player in the digital asset economy. The CEO also spent time in London holding back-to-back meetings with potential investors and partners. He noted that traditional investors are becoming increasingly open to Bitcoin focused companies. Now recognizing the long-term opportunity they present.

Expanding the Bitcoin Treasury

On Wednesday, SWC announced its latest Bitcoin purchase. Bringing total holdings to 2,470 BTC. The acquisition lifted the company back to position 25 on the BitcoinTreasuries.net leaderboard. Which tracks corporate and institutional Bitcoin reserves worldwide. Webley emphasized that institutional investors are starting to grasp the concept of “compound Bitcoin.” It sees treasury focused firms as a compelling equity play. As he put it, Bitcoin Treasury companies may represent one of the best potential equity opportunities globally. This latest addition reflects SWC ongoing commitment to growing its Bitcoin position. A strategy that aligns with its long term vision of building value for shareholders.

Recognition and Community Growth

Another highlight came on Friday, when the Financial Times published an article about SWC. For Webley, seeing the company’s name in a leading global publication marked a significant milestone. To build credibility with traditional markets and the broader Bitcoin community. Later that evening, Webley attended Bitcoin + Feast, a community-driven event organized by HenryBTCchef. The gathering featured live entertainment and networking. This offering gives Webley the chance to connect with supporters and answer questions from attendees.

SWC community continues to expand, now surpassing 4,300 members. Webley praised the diversity of perspectives within the group. With the strong support from shareholders and Bitcoin advocates alike. He wrote, “Our community gets stronger every week,” Noting how humbled he is by the enthusiasm.

Looking Ahead: U.S. and U.K. Engagements

Next week, Webley will travel to New York for the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference hosted by Tim Kotzman. The event will provide opportunities to meet shareholders, potential investors and new giving partners. Webley plans to use the trip to deepen relationships and explore future opportunities for SWC’s growth. Following his U.S. visit, Webley will return to the U.K. to attend the BSE conference. He described the back-to-back schedule as intense but essential. It offers a chance to connect directly with shareholders and the wider Bitcoin community.

A Team Effort

Webley closed his update by expressing gratitude to shareholders and the SWC team. He credited colleagues including Jesse Myers, Mario, Sean, Tyler Evans, Albert, Laura, Lily and Alex for driving the mission forward. “SWC is a real team effort,” he wrote, “and I am lucky to have the best people working on the mission aiming to deliver our vision for shareholders.”

With strong fundraising, a boosted Bitcoin Treasury, and growing recognition, SWC is positioning itself as a rising player. In the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. For Webley, the momentum reflects not just business progress. But also a broader shift in how institutions view Bitcoin as a foundation for future growth.
