Following the latest purchase, Smarter Web now holds 2,650 BTC, equivalent to $219.5 million based on current market rates. The firm invested £9,076,366 ($12.1 million) for this round of accumulation, underscoring its ongoing commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

Firm climbs BTC treasury rankings

According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Smarter Web now ranks 30th among the top 100 public BTC holders, surpassing firms like HIVE Digital and Exodus Movement. The company also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 57,718% and a quarter-to-date yield of 0.58%, reflecting the substantial returns generated from its Bitcoin investment strategy.

Despite the announcement, Smarter Web’s stock only saw a modest 0.63% rise, rebounding slightly from its recent downward trend. Over the past month, the company’s shares have fallen nearly 30%, dipping below £1, compared to its previous peak of £1.59.

Bitcoin treasuries lose their shine

While corporate Bitcoin accumulation remains active, the trend has started to cool off. At the beginning of June 2025, 60 companies collectively held 673,897 BTC, representing 3.2% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. Fast forward to October, that number has ballooned to 346 entities, holding a combined 3.91 million BTC, signaling that Bitcoin stockpiling has become a mainstream corporate strategy rather than a novel move.

This shift in sentiment has been mirrored in Smarter Web’s stock performance. Despite consistent Bitcoin purchases throughout September and October — including a 25 BTC buy on October 7 — the company’s share price remains subdued. Smarter Web’s net asset value (NAV) stands at 1.21, meaning investors pay £1.21 in stock value for every £1 of treasury-backed BTC and cash held by the firm.
