A New Era for British Bitcoin Holders: Satsuma and Smarter Web’s Strategic Decisions

In a groundbreaking move that signals a shift in the UK’s cryptocurrency landscape, two major players, Satsuma Technology and Smarter Web Company, have declared significant changes to their Bitcoin strategies. This development follows their announcement of asset sales, effectively ending their reign as leading public holders of Bitcoin in the region.

Smarter Web Company’s Strategic Shift

Meanwhile, Smarter Web Company adopted a new approach back in April 2025 when it first disclosed holding just 2.3 BTC. By June 30th this year, their reserves grew substantially to 2,878 BTC. On July 23rd they sold approximately 177.89 BTC at an average price of $65,762 per coin—raising $11.7 million used towards settling obligations under their Smart Convert product with TABAM.
