While the board expressed confidence in its Bitcoin strategy, it also acknowledged the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s classification of Bitcoin as a high-risk investment due to extreme volatility.

Landmark Bitcoin-Denominated Bond Deal

The purchase comes just one week after The Smarter Web Company made headlines by raising $21 million through the UK’s first Bitcoin-denominated convertible bond, fully subscribed by Paris-based asset manager TOBAM.

The 12-month bond includes investor and issuer protections, allowing forced equity conversion if shares rise 50% above the conversion price for ten consecutive trading days.

If bondholders opt out of conversion at maturity, Smarter Web will repay 98% of the Bitcoin-adjusted value and retain 2% for transaction costs. If fully converted, the deal could result in the issuance of approximately 7.7 million new shares.

BTC Falls to $118K

“Quite ugly daily candle,” said MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe, suggesting a potential test of $116,800 before any rebound.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that a decisive break above $126,000 could trigger a rapid surge to higher price levels
