Someone said once that the 90s was the best decade because while technology was rapidly improving it was still in service of improving the quality of human life, not in service of mass information gathering and surveillance. After 9/11, everything changed. But in the 90s the tech was still helping everyone have cooler better lives.

Success doesn’t truly make us happier. Why? Our neurobiology is wired for progress, not arrival. The dopamine system rewards the pursuit. Once a goal is reached, the brain resets and the target moves. It’s what @arthurbrooks calls the “striver’s curse.” You work relentlessly toward a goal believing it will bring lasting satisfaction, but when you get there, the feeling fades quickly. The trap is thinking the answer is more (more success, money, weight loss, etc). A better framework: Satisfaction = what you have ÷ what you want. Most people try to increase the numerator. But the more powerful lever is reducing the denominator (wanting less).

Gold wipes out more than the entire market cap of Bitcoin in just three hours, but according to @hmtreasury, Bitcoin is too volatile when compared to 'stable commodities'...such as gold.
Right.

Unfortunately not 'breaking'. And not surprising at all. The UK hates Bitcoin and all it stands for.

At the close of the market on Friday, we formally joined the FTSE UK Index series.
This is an important moment for Bitcoin, Bitcoin treasury companies and of course The Smarter Web Company. Index inclusion makes us eligible for passive flows of capital, which over time can broaden our institutional shareholder base and support further capital inflows. We don’t yet know what the immediate impact will be, although we did see a ~£1 million trade print in the auction at the close last night. I see this as another step forward in where we are heading.
Capital structure remains one of the most important aspects of building a Bitcoin treasury company, and I am proud of what we have put in place. From the start we have aimed to get this aspect right and today we have a solid balance sheet with an easy-to-understand capital structure and 2,695 Bitcoin. As we move forward, the focus is on evolving intelligently - learning from what others have done well, and just as importantly, what hasn’t worked.
My view is that simplicity wins. Simplicity and scale. The objective is to maintain a clean, transparent and easy-to-understand capital structure, while being deliberate about how and where we bring in capital. Not all capital is equal - it needs to be the right type, structured in the right way, and aligned with the long-term strategy.
So what does that look like in practice?
An operating business that generates real growth and cash flow, combined with a Bitcoin balance sheet that compounds over time. Digital capital, enabling digital credit, providing the world with digital money for the future.
In my opinion, that is the direction of travel.
Going into this week’s key events in what has been a very busy, but enjoyable, week.
I started the week by spending several days in London with @Croesus_BTC. Our objective was to try and develop the relationships that we have been working on in recent months, and we had two very interesting days with various types of meetings.
On Monday we also announced the Voluntary Purchase Offer results for the Pre-IPO warrants. This transaction reduced the number of fully diluted shares by 0.75% which has increased the Quarter-to-Date BTC Yield from -0.93% to -0.18% during what has been a challenging period for the Bitcoin treasury sector.
On Tuesday afternoon Jesse then recorded a podcast which I am looking forward to watching when it is released.
Wednesday gave us the opportunity to spend proper time together in person, discussing the various projects we have underway. Those kinds of conversations are always more productive face-to-face, and it was a good moment to step slightly out of the usual routine and focus on the bigger picture.
As I live in Bristol and spend a lot of time in Bath, I wanted to show Jesse some of what these two cities have to offer. We moved between a few of the highlights, using the time to discuss priorities and develop ideas as we went - a different setting to usual but enjoyable and productive.
A highlight for me was the Roman Baths. It felt like a fitting backdrop for the conversations we were having - the Romans are often attributed with introducing inflation through coin clipping, and over time went further by systematically debasing their currency, changing the metals content in their coins. Discussing current and future projects against that history - and the broader question of what is wrong with money - felt particularly relevant.
On Thursday we held the Annual General Meeting at the Concorde museum in Bristol. All resolutions were passed and it was nice to speak to shareholders that had made the journey. We did a short presentation after the formal business and @aw_smarterwebuk recorded this so that everyone who could not attend can also view this. You can find a link for this on my timeline. Thank you to @LauraStH1991 for organising another event so well, Jon and Nick at Squarebird Agency for speaking to our shareholders and everyone else that attended. As always, it was very inspiring to speak with our shareholders and see how much Smarter Web means to different people.
On Friday we announced a change to our Board. Please see the formal announcement and I would like to thank Albert for his contribution to The Smarter Web Company and all that has been achieved. The transition has been managed to ensure continuity, with Mario Visconti, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and current Financial Controller and Head of Projects, assuming the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mario brings extensive knowledge of the business, providing strong continuity during this period.
At the start of this update, I touched on the importance of capital structure in a Bitcoin treasury company. Alongside that sits something just as important - how the market engages with the business.
One measure for this is liquidity. Liquidity is often discussed in technical terms, but in reality, it comes down to people. It’s driven by a shareholder base that is active, aligned and paying attention.
We are fortunate to have one of the strongest shareholder communities out there - a group that not only understands what we are doing but consistently shows up and supports the journey.

Looking ahead to next week, there are a number of important meetings lined up, and I am focused on continuing to move key projects forward.
On a personal level, today and tomorrow, I am hoping to spend some time with my family as I have seen very little of them this week.
On Friday I will also be at CheatCode. For the last couple of years, @PeterMcCormack has been bringing the Bitcoin community together with this event, and I am looking forward to attending.
With a public company things take time and getting them right matters more than moving quickly. That said, to date we have shown that it’s possible to deliver both pace and precision, and that remains the standard we are setting.
Thank you for your support. We are only just getting started.

Being the CEO of a public company means managing multiple priorities at once; balancing short-term execution while continuing to build and deliver on our long-term strategy. Much of the work that ultimately results in an announcement has often been underway for weeks, or even months behind the scenes. What the market eventually sees as a single update is typically the outcome of many moving parts coming together - planning, structuring, discussions and coordination across the team. In an environment where markets and sentiment can shift quickly, an important part of leadership is learning to block out some of that short-term noise and remain focused on the fundamentals of the business and the strategy we are executing. Our approach remains disciplined and consistent: continuing to build the company while aiming to increase long-term Bitcoin per share for shareholders which I feel we have done this week. Firstly, a few thoughts on the markets. It has been encouraging to see Bitcoin trade modestly higher over the past week despite the ongoing geopolitical tension and macro uncertainty. At the time of writing, it sits around $71,000, compared with roughly $68,000 when I wrote my previous weekly update. In the very short term, $70,000 is a level I have been watching closely. If Bitcoin can hold this level with conviction, it could act as a stepping stone toward higher levels although I recognise sentiment for many remains cautious. Focusing only on short-term price levels risks missing the bigger picture. When assessing a younger asset like Bitcoin, it is important to consider both its long-term value proposition within the broader environment in which it trades. The broader macro backdrop this week has been far from quiet. Conflict in the Middle East continues to dominate headlines, contributing to heightened uncertainty in global markets. At the same time, oil prices have been notably volatile, reflecting the market’s sensitivity to geopolitical developments and potential supply disruptions. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq index - often compared to Bitcoin and sometimes described as a less volatile proxy for technology equities - ended the week slightly down. While Bitcoin can at times appear correlated with risk assets, I continue to believe that over the long term it will increasingly differentiate itself from other traditional markets. Overall, Bitcoin is becoming less correlated with other assets, even though short-term correlations will always appear from time to time. Moving on to this week’s developments at The Smarter Web Company. On Monday, we announced an update to our ATM facility, which continues to provide us with flexibility as we execute our strategy. Maintaining access to efficient capital markets tools remains an important part of how we operate, particularly as we continue to grow the company and expand our Bitcoin treasury. We raised £62,793 (before expenses), equivalent to approximately £0.37 per share. On Tuesday, we announced another Bitcoin purchase. It was a relatively small addition, but every Bitcoin matters. Our strategy is consistent and disciplined - continuing to accumulate Bitcoin over time while maintaining strong operational foundations within the business. I also did a livestream with @Croesus_BTC where we discussed a variety of different topics. On Thursday, we launched a voluntary purchase offer for our pre-IPO warrants. These warrants have been a topic of discussion among since our listing and something that the team has been evaluating for some time. It is worth remembering that when we took The Smarter Web Company public, very few people believed this model would work in the UK. To successfully complete the pre-IPO fundraising, we offered those early investors warrants as an incentive for backing the vision at a time when there was considerable scepticism. Today, it is clear that the model does work. With our shares currently trading at 0.83 mNAV, and investors accepting a discount to the current share price in exchange for immediate proceeds, the voluntary warrant purchase offer provides the Company an opportunity to reduce the number of fully diluted shares at an attractive rate. This in turn improves our key metrics for the quarter, helps clean our capital structure while also helping to mitigate potential equity overhang. There was a significant amount of work behind the scenes to make this possible, with multiple moving parts needing to align. Periods of more challenging sector sentiment require us to think creatively about how we can continue increasing long-term Bitcoin per share within the regulatory framework we operate in and our current size. I believe this initiative is a good example of that approach, and I want to thank everyone involved for moving quickly and efficiently to make it happen. We will announce the results on Monday via a regulatory announcement, and I look forward to sharing the outcome with you then. As I mentioned at the start, our focus remains on building long-term value, even if some of the work that contributes to that value only becomes visible once it is ready to be announced. I am pleased with how well the team continues to navigate this dynamic environment - progressing multiple initiatives across the business while maintaining a strong operational foundation. As we continue to grow, I am confident in the team we have built and moving forward in our ability to attract world class talent to support the next phase of the company’s development. The last few months have not been easy for our community, but they are a valued part of our team. When we are working hard to deliver value it is pleasing to see many comments from the community that also share our vision.

Looking ahead to next week, I will be spending several days in London, with @Croesus_BTC, for some important meetings. I hope to be able to share more with you, on some of these discussions, in the near future. We are also looking forward to doing a podcast with someone that we have not recorded with before - more of that soon. It is also now around one week until our inclusion in the FTSE indices, which is a milestone that still feels somewhat surreal. When we first set out on this journey, reaching this point was certainly an ambition, but to now be so close to it becoming reality is incredibly exciting. It will be interesting to see what impact this has on our stock over time as index inclusion often brings increased visibility and, in some cases, new institutional participation. Adjacent to this, I have also been encouraged by our overall volumes which continue to improve. We also have our AGM taking place on Thursday. If you have not yet voted, please do take a moment to do so. Shareholder participation is an important part of the governance of the company, and we appreciate the continued engagement and support from our investors. It is now just over two months until we host the first dedicated Bitcoin treasuries unconference UK. I am very pleased with the line-up we have assembled. We will have representation from many of the leading Bitcoin treasury companies in the UK, alongside several excellent international speakers who are helping shape the global conversation around Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets. The event is also being supported by a number of sponsoring companies, whose backing we are very grateful for. Bringing together businesses, investors and industry leaders in this space is something we are excited about, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to what should be a very interesting and important event for the UK Bitcoin ecosystem. I hope to release the agenda for the Bitcoin treasuries unconference UK in the next week and please do not forget that you can buy tickets for the event by visiting our website. To conclude; The Smarter Web Company was listed in the UK as I could not find a UK company following this strategy. It is a business that I am immensely proud to manage and one that is run, to the best of my ability, for the benefit of all shareholders. I appreciate your support and I am very much looking forward to both the week ahead and the future beyond that. Thank you. LSE: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8

RNS Announcement: Existing Warrants - Voluntary Purchase Offer Results
The Smarter Web Company is pleased to announce the results of the discounted voluntary purchase offer for warrant holders to realise value from the Pre-IPO warrants ahead of their vesting.
@asjwebley: "I am pleased to be able to update the market with the results from the Voluntary Purchase Offer. It was also satisfying to receive so many messages from holders of these warrants who believe that the Company will grow significantly over the next few years.
By removing these warrants from our fully diluted share count we have improved our Quarter-to-Date BTC Yield to -0.18%, representing a meaningful improvement from -0.93% earlier in the quarter, during what has been a challenging period for the Bitcoin treasury sector.
Considering the significant structural progress we have made this quarter, including the accretive acquisition of Squarebird Agency Ltd, our uplisting to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and confirmation of inclusion in the FTSE UK Index Series, I am pleased that the Company continues to move forward with strong foundations for future growth."

B HODL Weekly Update @bitcoinhodlco (AQSE: $HODL | OTCQB: $BHODF | FRA: $F5S)
Treasury & Operations
We continue to build out the key components of our treasury and capital management stack. Last month we announced the establishment of our ATM programme, and on 6 February our shareholders approved our share buyback programme. These tools are crucial for treasury companies and give us the flexibility to manage capital efficiently through market cycles.
With Bitcoin now trading at a significantly lower price point, we have also been preparing to deploy additional tranches of our dry powder towards further BTC purchases. This was approved and announced on 12 March and was followed immediately with a Bitcoin buy on the 13th.
While it would obviously have been enjoyable to see Bitcoin sitting at a higher price, recent market conditions have reinforced the prudence of our approach. Our initial analysis in September 2025 suggested the market felt increasingly toppy, and with our combined years of experience in Bitcoin markets, we believed it was sensible to prepare for potential volatility by retaining a meaningful portion of IPO proceeds in fiat.
This decision has positioned us well to deploy capital opportunistically. We will continue to accumulate BTC and utilise our capital management tools carefully and strategically in order to deliver the greatest possible long-term value for our shareholders.
Media & Outreach
This week also saw strong media engagement, including my appearance on @Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction podcast with @rkbaggs where we discussed Bitcoin as the “unquestionable asset” and the evolving landscape for Bitcoin treasury companies.
The conversation covered Lightning Network growth, institutional adoption trends, and the importance of maintaining cypherpunk principles as the sector matures.
We have also been featured on podcasts with Relai (represented by Chief Bitcoin Officer @CoinCornerDanny) and BeInCrypto - links to follow. These appearances form part of our ongoing strategy to engage both mainstream and specialist Bitcoin media as we continue articulating our thesis and market positioning.
As always, @DecentraSuze and I also discussed the week’s news through a Bitcoin lens during our regular session with @RoxomTV.
Industry Partnerships
We’re excited for our upcoming partnership with Bury St Edmunds Bitcoin for their upcoming Bitcoin Pizza Day event on 22 May.
This grassroots collaboration reflects our commitment to supporting Bitcoin adoption at the community level while showcasing real-world Lightning Network usage. I’ll be speaking at the event about Bitcoin as a medium of exchange and the continued development of Lightning infrastructure.
Policy & Advocacy
Our work with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Crypto and Digital Assets continues to move forward. Together we are working with MPs and Lords on behalf of the Bitcoin industry in the UK, advocating for clearer regulatory frameworks that allow the UK to remain competitive rather than watching innovation unfold from the sidelines.
Encouragingly, these conversations continue to progress in the right direction, with strong support from the APPG co-chairs and backing from @CryptoUKAssoc . While there is still significant work ahead, institutional understanding of Bitcoin treasury companies and their role in the maturation of digital asset markets is improving measurably.
RNS & Corporate
Our latest RNS announcements are all listed here: bhodl.com/investors/news
Community
The shareholder sock giveaway continues to generate fantastic engagement and community spirit. It has been genuinely rewarding to see the enthusiasm from our shareholder base, and the feedback has been brilliant.
As always, we remain focused on executing our strategy methodically while maintaining transparency with shareholders about our progress and market positioning.
Cointelegraph@Cointelegraph
🪙Is Bitcoin really the "unquestionable asset"? Today, @rkbaggs was joined by @freddienew of @bitcoinhodlco to discuss the state of treasury companies, the rise of the Lightning network, and the importance of cypherpunk values (and quite a bit more!) #CHAINREACTION

This is how it starts. Subtle control of the messaging around end to end encryption, framing it as 'dangerous' and 'controversial'.
Encryption, @joetidy, is not 'controversial'. It's a necessary protection for us all against the efforts of an increasingly invasive state.
And since that state seems determined no longer to protect its people - from data gathering and the inevitable leaks of personal and private information, often leading to real physical and financial harm - it's absolutely our right and responsibility to use it.
The right to privacy is written into the Human Rights Act, into the Convention on Human Rights, and into the Constitution of the United States via the Fourth Amendment. It is not 'controversial'.
But as Eric Hughes said, is is increasingly clear that we must do everything we can to defend our privacy if we expect to have any.

Dear @BBCNews end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is not a ‘controversial privacy feature’, it’s essential bbc.com/news/articles/…
