Smarter Web Company has reached a major milestone. CEO Andrew Webley has revealed that the company plans to move from the Aquis growth market to the main market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The move comes just nine months after its IPO and marks a major step in the company’s growth journey.
Webley said the decision comes after months of planning, legal work and consultation with advisors. The goal is to list the British-born technology company on one of the world’s most respected stock exchanges. And let’s build Britain’s long-term success story with Bitcoin and digital capital. For shareholders, this is a big moment. Many have supported the company since its inception, and LSE’s move shows how quickly the business has grown.
From startup to public company in record time
SWC was listed on Aquis in May 2025. In less than a year, it has grown to become one of the UK’s hottest Bitcoin finance companies. Mr Webley said: “To have taken a British-born company from a start-up to a listed company is an achievement that I am extremely proud of.” Now, moving to the LSE Main Market is the next big chapter.
This week marked a major milestone for The Smarter Web Company as we announced our intention to list on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The company recently released its official prospectus. This will explain the complete plan, business model, financial situation and long-term strategy for the initial public offering. This gives investors a clear and transparent view of what will happen next. Mr Webley also confirmed that the company expects the LSE listing to be completed in early February 2026, subject to final approval.
New funding and growing institutional interest
Alongside the listing update, the company also revealed new funding. Over two days, shares were issued through an ATM-style facility. Smarter Web Company’s share price rose by £1.67m before expenses. This strengthens our balance sheet and supports future growth.
Andrew Webley also revealed this week that he had spoken to some of the UK’s biggest fund managers. They discussed both Bitcoin and SWC. He said UK institutions are becoming more open to Bitcoin finance companies and digital capital. Further meetings with global and UK institutions are planned in the coming weeks. This shows that traditional finance is gradually getting used to the idea of Bitcoin-backed businesses.
Build your business with digital capital
One of the biggest changes since the IPO is how Bitcoin is understood by regulators and investors. Before going public, the company had to use softer terms such as “digital asset vault.” Now, we can openly talk about “Bitcoin financial policy,” “Bitcoin yield,” and “mNAV.”
Additionally, Mr Webley said the change was important because it showed the UK financial system was becoming more open to innovation and digital capital. At the same time, the company’s web design business remains the core of its business and will continue to grow alongside its Bitcoin financial strategy.
Community support and future developments
Smarter Web Company has built one of the most powerful Bitcoin treasury communities on X. Supporters reacted excitedly to the LSE news, calling it a major achievement. Andrew Webley will share details of the shareholder draw at the London Stock Exchange’s opening ceremony next week. To commemorate this milestone, a shareholder drinks event will be held in London.
Looking to the future, Andrew Webley says 2026 is going to be a big year. Specifically, the company is building a modern operating business backed by a Bitcoin balance sheet and driven by long-term ambition. Moreover, the transition from startup to London Stock Exchange has only just begun, and the next chapter looks set to be even bigger.
