US stock futures inch lower after Wall St marks fresh records on tech gains
LONDON - The Smarter Web Company PLC (AQUIS:SWC), a London-listed technology firm and the UK’s largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet, has appointed Coinbase Institutional as one of its Bitcoin custody partners, according to a press release statement issued Tuesday.
The partnership will provide SWC with an additional layer of security through Coinbase Prime, complementing the company’s existing custody arrangements. Coinbase Institutional will work alongside SWC’s current partners to safeguard the company’s Bitcoin treasury and support market access.
"Coinbase has established itself as one of the most respected and regulated players in the digital asset space," said Andrew Webley, Chief Executive Officer of SWC.
Lauren Abendschein, Global Head of Institutional Sales at Coinbase, noted that Coinbase has been a custodian of digital assets for over 13 years, safeguarding billions in assets.
The Smarter Web Company, which offers web design, development, and online marketing services, has been listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange since April 2025. The company has implemented a Bitcoin treasury policy and accepts payment in Bitcoin since 2023.
The multi-custodian approach adopted by SWC reflects its focus on governance, risk management, and transparency for shareholders, the company stated in its announcement.
SWC trades on multiple exchanges including AQUIS (SWC), OTCQB (TSWCF), and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (3M8).
