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.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
