Smarter Web Company (SWC) will leave the Aquis Exchange and begin trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange on February 3, 2026. The company was listed on the Aquis Exchange in April 2025. Now, just over nine months later, we’re planning a big step up. CEO Andrew Webley said the move was an important milestone for both the company and its shareholders. He called this a turning point in SWC’s path to the public markets. The decision follows a period of rapid market change for Bitcoin-focused treasury firms.
Bitcoin strategy continues despite tough market
Bitcoin government bonds have been under pressure since mid-2025. Stock prices fell as sentiment towards Bitcoin weakened and its market value compressed. Still, the Smarter Web company kept building.
We listed The Smarter Web Company on Aquis on April 25, 2025, and this week marks its last full week of trading on the exchange. The Company will move to the main market of the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday 3 February 2026, just over nine months after its IPO. This is extremely important… https://t.co/aWrPq960wM

Andrew Webley said Bitcoin per share has risen more than 50% since July. Total Bitcoin holdings nearly doubled over the same period. He added that these companies move in cycles. In strong situations, you need to capture value. In the weakened stage, flexibility must be protected. This approach has helped the company stay focused while other companies have slowed down, he said.
Broader capital access and index paths
Moving to the London Stock Exchange opens the door to more capital. Andrew Webley said the main market offers passive and active investment flows. Passive funds track an index. He believes Smarter Web companies can quickly join major indexes and is aiming for a path to the FTSE 250 over time. Active capital comes from fund managers who choose investments. Many people cannot buy stocks listed on small venues like Aquis. Listing on the main market removes that barrier. He said the change will widen the pool of investors who can support businesses.
Shareholder support and next steps
Shareholders strongly supported the move. At a recent meeting, approximately 99.5% of the votes cast approved leaving Aquis. SWC also raised around £520,000 through an ATM-style facility earlier this week. Andrew Webley said the tool is essential for businesses building a Bitcoin treasury as it allows stable funding over the long term. He also noted that even though Bitcoin prices remain volatile, interest from large investors is increasing. Many people now view price fluctuations as an opportunity rather than just a risk.
Next week, Smarter Web will begin trading on the London Stock Exchange. Some community members and shareholders will attend the ceremony. Andrew Webley said he plans to share the photo later so others can join in the moment. He also confirmed meetings with institutions and plans for events in Las Vegas and Madrid later this year. He concluded by thanking the community and saying that 2026 should bring the company closer to its long-term goals.
