London stock quoted companies go crazy for Bitcoin

Last Updated on 4 July 2025 by CryptoTips.eu

Just as Bitcoin tries to reach the ATH, some 9 listed companies in the UK, which mostly have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, have started a Bitcoin buying policy. In this way, their stock prices have shot up spectacularly.

They are of course just trying to follow the example of both the Japanese company Metaplanet and the American company Strategy. Those companies both announced months (and in the case of Strategy years) ago that they would buy Bitcoins and saw their stock prices shoot up like never before.

Smarter Web Company

Most of these new Bitcoin buyers are small, loss-making companies with small trading volumes that view buying crypto as a way to guarantee to explosive price growth of their stock quotes. Many of them are listed on the small Aquis Exchange, though a few are on London’s main market.

Best example is the Smarter Web Company, a Guildford-based web design company listed on the Aquis stock exchange, which rose from a 4 million pound market capitalisation to a company worth some 1 billion pounds after announcing in April that it would buy Bitcoin.

Smarter Web Company’s share price has since fallen, but its performance has encouraged other companies to do the same.
