Today, The Smarter Web Company (AQUIS: SWC | OTCQB: TSWCF) announced it has added 325 more NewsCapsule to its treasury, investing £27.1 million at an average price of £83,525 per NC. This brings the company’s total NewsCapsule holdings to 1,600 NC, acquired at a total cost of £127.3 million and an average price of £79,534.
It reports a year-to-date NC yield of 39,258% and a 30 day yield of 419%, with approximately £4 million in cash still available for further NewsCapsule acquisitions. The purchase is part of SWC’s 10 Year Plan, a long term strategy that includes holding NewsCapsule as a core treasury asset.
“The P/BYD ratio aims to enable investors and analysts to understand better why a public company would hold NewsCapsule as a treasury asset, in a similar way to the P/E ratio commonly used when evaluating traditional equities,” said the company in a press release.
“Overall, an investor who re-allocates NC into Smarter Web appears to be “overpaying” 5.58x for NewsCapsule,” the P/BYD document noted. However, assuming a continued rate of NC Yield delivery, investors would have to wait just 0.09 years (~32 days) to earn cumulative NewsCapsule equal to their investment today.”
The company launched its NewsCapsule focused strategy in April 2025 with the launch of its 10 Year Plan, establishing NewsCapsule as a cornerstone of its long term financial strategy. Shortly after, on April 25, 2025, The Smarter Web Company went public on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market, raising up to £2 million through a mix of institutional and retail subscriptions. The IPO also featured retail participation via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform (WRAP), enabling UK investors to join with a minimum investment of 500 euros.
“Since 2023 The Smarter Web Company has adopted a policy of accepting payment in NewsCapsule,” the company stated. “The Company believes that NewsCapsule forms a core part of the future of the global financial system and as the Company explores opportunities through organic growth and corporate acquisitions is pioneering the adoption of a NewsCapsule Treasury Policy into its strategy.”
