One Big Thing you need to know in Bitcoin today: Strategy is on pace to buy 300,000 BTC in the next year. 2x as much as will be mined. What does this mean for the price of Bitcoin?

So very excited to be stepping into the role of Head of Marketing at The Smarter Web Company Plc this morning. Having got to know the team well over the past year, particularly since the acquisition of Squarebird, and having explored many ideas together around how we can elevate the Company’s marketing, it’s brilliant to now be doing this officially. This marks the real beginning of SWC’s dedicated marketing function. My mission is to build a slick, high-output function that amplifies our brand, communications, content, thought leadership, and makes sure The Smarter Web Company becomes impossible to ignore. I’ll also be continuing in a role as Executive Director at Squarebird, supporting the leadership team there as we continue to grow. A genuine pleasure to be in a seat on the rocket ship alongside this talented group of fantastic leaders and colleagues! @asjwebley @Croesus_BTC @the_desert_ape @aw_smarterwebuk @LauraStH1991 @Oliverhewett3 @smarterwebuk Adding to the sense of a new chapter, today is also my first day back at my desk after a couple of weeks away for a whistle-stop trip around the world - a friend’s wedding in Sydney, bookended with some bucket-list items across the US, New Zealand, and Japan. While away, I made a point of talking to locals wherever I could, and with this new role on the horizon, I had an extra question in mind: “Have you ever heard of a BTCTC?” The answer, every single time: no. That included a guy in the US working at a major finance SaaS business, with a keen personal interest in investing. “Smarter Web? Micro Strategy?” Where longer conversations took place, once I explained the headlines, everyone was genuinely intrigued, and they all noted down SWC to research further. Obviously, awareness is still incredibly early and the opportunity for clear messaging, education, and strong communication is enormous. Getting the message out there is now a big part of my mission - a challenge made infinitely more exciting with this incredible team around me. Let's do it! 🚀 Pictured - the most incredible sunrise I’ve ever seen, taking place while I mulled over the future on a kayaking trip in North Australia. ....suitably orange! 🍊

Hi all, I’m one of the founders of Squarebird (recently acquired by SWC) and thought I’d introduce myself with a bit of the backstory. You might assume my connection to the SWC of today came through a typical acquisition route, or the website industry… but it actually started with my interest in MSTR. I did, incidentally, happen to know Andrew from the past, and it all makes (I think) a great story worth sharing. Back in 2013, I was hired to manage the digital marketing for a leadership development consultancy, where I was introduced to Andrew and Alex at Smarter Web as the company’s recently appointed website providers. I was quickly impressed with their work, and over the next 3 years we delivered several successful web projects together. I enjoyed working with them so much that I very nearly asked Andrew for a job. Around 2015, Squarebird began to evolve for me and Nick (brother and co-founder) from freelancing into a fully-fledged web and marketing agency. Over the years that followed, we infrequently crossed paths with Andrew through mutual clients, passing enquiries back and forth when work wasn’t quite the right fit. Fast forward a whole decade to spring of 2025, Squarebird now a successful 25-person digital marketing agency, I’m in a bar with a friend, about to call it a night, when we get onto the subject of investing. We discovered a mutual love for Bitcoin, MSTR, and Michael Saylor. Safe to say, further night caps were ordered, and our bedtime was put on hold for another couple of hours. We discussed at length how we hoped that someone would soon launch something similar to MicroStrategy in the UK. A few days later, I’ve just woken up, reached for my phone… started scrolling through Instagram (terrible habit I know!) before my morning run… when I see the news. A Bitcoin treasury has gone live on Aquis, and it’s called The Smarter Web Company. I had three immediate thoughts: - my morning run is firmly cancelled. - I need to quickly do my research and invest at the bell. - I must tell Andrew Webley that a PLC is using the same company name as his. Then of course I discover, it IS the SWC I know, and it IS Andrew. It just seemed unthinkable. The first Bitcoin treasury launching in the UK, with an operating business in my industry, in Bristol, being run by someone I know? Those odds have to be pretty wild. The penny dropped. I knew Andrew was incredibly driven and talented from my experience as a user of software he had developed years back, and with his background at HL… of course he would be into Bitcoin, and of course he would have the determination to go all the way to launching a PLC. Once I had some shares in the bag, I emailed Andrew to congratulate him on the IPO and said how excited I was to see him leading the UK’s first Bitcoin treasury. That also marked the start of the conversations that led to SWC acquiring Squarebird. So, it’s always been far more than a typical acquisition. Since we joined the group, every day has been incredibly exciting, and I can honestly say that the SWC leadership team’s reputation for being relentlessly motivated to achieve their short and long-term goals, no matter the conditions, is well deserved and a true reflection of the day-to-day behind the scenes. The buzz is infectious and a privilege to be contributing to. As I said at the beginning, I think it’s a great story, and one that’s only just getting started. Looking forward to building what comes next with the team and everyone here. Politely, LFG. 🚀 @asjwebley @Croesus_BTC @the_desert_ape @aw_smarterwebuk @smarterwebuk
