Subtracting the exact disposal leaves 2,700.1090873 BTC. That reconciles the announcement&#8217;s rounded 2,700 BTC balance with the company&#8217;s analytics display of 2,700.11 BTC. The sale represented 6.1811% of the pre-transaction treasury.<\/p>\n<p>Because the convert shares were potential, legally issued capital stayed at 371,965,705 shares across the transaction. On that denominator, the before calculation is:<\/p>\n<p><code>2,878 BTC \u00d7 100,000,000 \u00f7 371,965,705 = 773.73 sats per share<\/code><\/p>\n<p>After repayment:<\/p>\n<p><code>2,700.1090873 BTC \u00d7 100,000,000 \u00f7 371,965,705 = 725.90 sats per share<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Smarter Web&#8217;s treasury analytics use a company-specific denominator that can be smaller than legal issued capital.<\/p>\n<p>The method starts with 371,965,705 issued shares, subtracts 47,449,230 legally issued but unsold shares held under its subscription agreement, and adds 35,303,732 in-the-money warrants. That produces 359,820,207 management-defined fully diluted shares after repayment. Adding the convert&#8217;s 7,718,551 potential shares gives a derived pre-repayment denominator of 367,538,758.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Metric<\/th>\n<th>Before repayment<\/th>\n<th>After repayment<\/th>\n<th>Change<\/th>\n<th>Basis<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Bitcoin holdings<\/td>\n<td>2,878.00 BTC<\/td>\n<td>2,700.1090873 BTC<\/td>\n<td>-177.8909127 BTC, or -6.1811%<\/td>\n<td>Company figures plus derived subtraction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Smarter Convert claim<\/td>\n<td>$11,698,540 due at settlement<\/td>\n<td>Repaid in cash<\/td>\n<td>Claim extinguished<\/td>\n<td>Company disclosure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Potential convert shares<\/td>\n<td>7,718,551<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<td>-7,718,551<\/td>\n<td>Company disclosure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Legal issued shares<\/td>\n<td>371,965,705<\/td>\n<td>371,965,705<\/td>\n<td>Unchanged<\/td>\n<td>Potential shares never issued<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gross sats per legal issued share<\/td>\n<td>773.73<\/td>\n<td>725.90<\/td>\n<td>-6.18%<\/td>\n<td>CryptoSlate calculation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Management-defined fully diluted shares<\/td>\n<td>367,538,758<\/td>\n<td>359,820,207<\/td>\n<td>-7,718,551, or -2.10%<\/td>\n<td>Company methodology plus derived pre-transaction count<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gross sats per management-defined fully diluted share<\/td>\n<td>783.05<\/td>\n<td>750.41<\/td>\n<td>-4.17%<\/td>\n<td>CryptoSlate transaction calculation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Smarter Web counted the convert\u2019s potential shares in its own diluted denominator.

A $21 million subscription raised \u00a315,803,733. The launch disclosure used a \u00a31.95 reference share price and a 5% premium, producing the \u00a32.0475 conversion price and 7,718,551 potential shares.<\/p>\n<p>The June interim accounts gave TOBAM several ways out. It could convert some or all of the instrument into shares at \u00a32.0475, take the Bitcoin after costs, or collect the same value in pounds, dollars or euros. Smarter Web gained its own settlement right after Feb. 5, provided the stock stayed above \u00a33.07125 for 10 straight sessions and beat Bitcoin throughout.<\/p>\n<p>The company described the early repayment as its own request, fully supported by TOBAM. CEO Andrew Webley wrote on X that the conversion price had not been met, management chose to simplify the capital structure, and the company treated the instrument more like debt than equity in its treasury analytics.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The shares stayed on paper, appearing only in management\u2019s treasury math. At the London Stock Exchange&#8217;s 29.20p quote as of 10:18:20 BST on July 23, delayed by at least 15 minutes, the \u00a32.0475 conversion price was about 7.01 times the market price. The instrument still gave TOBAM Bitcoin and fiat settlement routes, so repayment retired a broader claim than the equity conversion option alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The original structure required at least 98% of the proceeds to be deployed into Bitcoin and illustrated a simplified 98% deployment scenario. Smarter Web ultimately deployed 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Under the disclosed structure, the repayment therefore corresponded to 100% of the 177.89 BTC acquired with the subscription. The company sold those coins and paid $11,698,540 in cash instead of transferring Bitcoin in kind.<\/p>\n<p>Smarter Web&#8217;s treasury dashboard reports a -4.35% Quarterly Gross BTC Yield for the third quarter. Webley called the convert repayment its main driver.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-6a627317e0128\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\">CryptoSlate Daily Brief<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">Daily signals, zero noise.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__copy\">Market-moving headlines and context delivered every morning in one tight read.<\/p>\n<p> <span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-bolt\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> 5-minute digest<\/span> <span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-star\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> 100k+ readers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__form-shell\">\n<p class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__privacy\">Free.

Bitcoin\u2019s price, company earnings, operations, and shareholder returns belong to other scorecards. Smarter Web also handles debt and cash through separate net treasury metrics.<\/p>\n<p>The reported -4.35% and CryptoSlate&#8217;s transaction-only -4.17% answer different questions. The 4.17% calculation isolates the sale and the removal of the convert shares. The 4.35% figure covers the company&#8217;s full quarter-to-date measurement window. Keeping those windows separate avoids turning a treasury KPI into a price or investment return.<\/p>\n<p>The latest prices bring that gap into focus. CryptoSlate&#8217;s Bitcoin market page has BTC near $65,600 as of press time, close to the $65,762 average disposal price. The LSE quote of 29.20p implied a \u00a3108.61 million legal-share market capitalization when multiplied by 371,965,705 shares. The exchange page separately displayed \u00a3109.92 million using its prior-close basis.<\/p>\n<p>Smarter Web&#8217;s analytics used its 359,820,207-share management denominator to display a \u00a3104.10 million fully diluted market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>The dashboard also displayed \u00a3121.71 million of fully diluted enterprise value and \u00a3115.06 million of net asset value. Applying the company&#8217;s stated mNAV definition, enterprise value divided by NAV, gives about 1.06 times.<\/p>\n<p>Its separately displayed 0.92 times ratio divides enterprise value by \u00a3132.67 million of gross Bitcoin value. At roughly 1.06 times mNAV on that snapshot, a new equity raise had only a narrow premium cushion before costs and dilution entered the BTC-per-share calculation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__media\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shareholder_revolt_against_bitcoin_tower-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin treasury investors are turning on companies diluting them to keep buying\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shareholder_revolt_against_bitcoin_tower-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin treasury investors are turning on companies diluting them to keep buying\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\"> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin treasury investors are turning on companies diluting them to keep buying<\/h3>\n<p>For two years, buying more Bitcoin was enough to lift a treasury stock.

Smarter Web&#8217;s existing $30 million Coinbase facility runs without a fixed maturity, shifting the immediate test from a date on the calendar to financing capacity and collateral discipline.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is secured against Bitcoin. Smarter Web&#8217;s interim accounts warn that a material BTC decline could require additional collateral or a reduction in the drawn balance at short notice. Further borrowing could preserve the share denominator while placing more of the treasury inside a leveraged structure.<\/p>\n<p>Equity creates the opposite pressure. It works best for a Bitcoin treasury company when shares can be sold at a sufficient premium to the Bitcoin value attributable to each share. Near or below NAV, issuance can increase nominal BTC while reducing BTC per share.<\/p>\n<p>Recent B HODL capital-allocation analysis illustrated the reverse case: at a discount, retiring shares could add more BTC exposure per share than buying Bitcoin directly. Strategy&#8217;s recent negative Bitcoin metrics showed how nominal holdings, financing activity, and per-share exposure can move on separate tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Preferred capital shifts the constraint toward investor demand and liquidity. A recent B Treasury Capital AB preferred-share offering carrying a 10% rate left 47.7% of its shares unfilled. Satsuma&#8217;s proposed Bitcoin sale and delisting supplies a separate London example of pressure on a treasury wrapper. For Smarter Web, these cases serve only as scenario tests.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__media\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/metaplanet-bitcoin-backed-credit-market-tokyo-vault-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin\u2019s $10 billion credit market keeps growing after its first major selloff\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/metaplanet-bitcoin-backed-credit-market-tokyo-vault-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin\u2019s $10 billion credit market keeps growing after its first major selloff\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\"> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin\u2019s $10 billion credit market keeps growing after its first major selloff<\/h3>\n<p>Strategy and Strive preferred shares plunged below par in June, but record trading and Metaplanet\u2019s Japan plans show the market is still expanding.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Jul 10, 2026<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-divider\">\u00b7<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Oluwapelumi Adejumo<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Smarter Web&#8217;s repayment reduced fully diluted Bitcoin exposure while removing an instrument management no longer viewed as the right capital solution.<\/p>\n<p>The economics of its next financing will decide whether that sacrifice was justified.
