Smarter Web Company Fundraisers and Impact on Shareholders

SWC added that it raised about £13.4 million ($18.08 million) from a successful fundraiser on June 5, 2025, which impacted stakeholders in the company. “The fundraiser resulted in an 8.10% dilution for existing shareholders, including the Directors,” Smarter Web Company explained.

While none of the directors sold their stakes during the fundraising, their percentage slightly declined because the company needed to raise money by issuing new shares. For context, Andrew Webley & Family holdings, including those held by Joanna Webley, dropped from 14.6% to about 13.41%. Tyler Evans and Mario Visconti, including 123 Accounting Solutions Ltd, mirrored a similar decrement pattern from 0.51% to 0.47%. Also, Sean Wade & Family holdings, including those held as Keysford Ltd, dropped from 0.41% to 0.38%.

SWC Warns Investors About Bitcoin Investment Risks

Aside from the latest purchase, Smarter Web Company educated investors about the risks associated with Bitcoin investments. In the publication, the company admitted to storing its spare cash and extra capital in BTC. According to SWC, it adopted this approach because its board of directors envisage BTC as a sustainable store of value with considerable future reward potential.

Citing a note of warning, the web development firm mentioned that it is not registered under the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), implying that investors will not benefit from the regulatory watchdog’s protection. SWC also stated that FCA has earmarked BTC as a highly risky investment. The web development firm emphasized that its value is strongly tied to Bitcoin’s market valuation, implying that shareholders will forfeit huge sums if Bitcoin drops significantly.

Beyond losing money due to BTC’s volatility, investors are also at an increased risk of hacks and other crypto-related fraudulent schemes. Overall, SWC encouraged intending investors to do thorough research and other appropriate assessments before investing in the company.
