The impact of BTC stocks on stock prices
On April 28, 2025, the smarter web company announced its “10-year plan” and its Bitcoin financial strategy. The company previously owned BTC internally. However, this was the first time the company had declared its commitment to stockpiling BTC and announcing its purchases to the public.
Unfortunately, the transition to BTC companies was not immediately recognized as a positive indication among market investors. On April 28, its share was still stuck at a 52-week low of £3.125, but its market capitalization was still at £5.1 million. At the time, the first BTC purchases the company made were still standing at just 2.3 BTC of its reserves.
Until early June, Smarter Web Company’s market capitalization rose from just £5 million to £150 million in just two months. In fact, the stock price has skyrocketed. I hit 500 pounds above my previous low and barely reached £0.05. This has led to a stock price jump of over 1,000% two months after the BTC strategy was announced.

How does Smarter Web Company compare to other BTC-centric companies?
Smarter web companies are not isolated cases. Many companies in the past few days have announced the formation of their BTC financial strategies. This usually involves announcements issued almost daily about recent BTC purchases and their total holdings.
On June 30, Banadi Coffee, struggling with Spanish coffee chains, saw a surge in stock by 242% after receiving approval for a new strategy to start getting more BTC on its balance sheet. Today, the shares have boosted its value slightly after announcing its recent purchase of 7 BTC, increasing its holding to 85 BTC.
Despite holding a small BTC Trove on BTC Trove compared to something like MicroStrategy, which currently owns 628,791 BTC, news of the 7 BTC purchase was enough to raise the stock price by 0.73% in the market.
Meanwhile, the same thing has not yet happened to bravery. Another publicly available UK company that established the Bitcoin Treasury on August 1st. Similar to the start of the smart web company Bitcoin, its inventory appeared to be down 4.35% on past days compared to the previous day. At the time, the stock was currently trading at 0.033 euros.
Today, the stock remains at 0.03 euros. However, this may change as we have not announced our BTC purchasing activities.
