Andrew Webley Met Michael Saylor In London — Here's The One Piece Of Advice He Got

Andrew Webley IPO'd The Smarter Web Company in April 2025 when nobody in the UK believed a Bitcoin treasury model would work. Fourteen months later, SWC has raised nearly a quarter of a billion pounds, holds 2,878 BTC, uplisted to the London Stock Exchange, achieved FTSE index inclusion, and acquired Squarebird Agency — and Andrew says the best is still ahead and he can't talk about it yet.

He covers the full origin story, what Saylor told him when they met in London, why the UK is the perfect market for Bitcoin preferred equity, what he learned watching STRC and SATA get stress-tested, why FTSE 250 is in touching distance, and his one-sentence answer to every Bitcoin treasury critic.
