Smarter Web Sells 178 Bitcoin To Repay $11.7M TOBAM Debt
The Smarter Web Company has sold part of its Bitcoin treasury to repay an $11.7 million convertible debt facility held by TOBAM, choosing balance-sheet flexibility over additional equity dilution.
The company said it sold 177.8909127 BTC at an average price of $65,762 to repay the “Smarter Convert” instrument early. The facility totaled $11,698,540 and was settled roughly two weeks ahead of schedule.
That may sound bearish at first glance because the company sold Bitcoin. But the reason matters.
Smarter Web was not exiting its Bitcoin strategy. It used BTC to remove a debt obligation and avoid issuing 7,718,551 ordinary shares that could have diluted existing shareholders.
The company still holds 2,700 BTC in treasury after the repayment.
TL;DR
- Smarter Web sold 177.8909127 BTC to repay an $11.7 million TOBAM convertible debt facility.
- The sale helped avoid the issuance of 7.7 million ordinary shares.
- The company still holds 2,700 BTC, so this is a debt-management story rather than a full treasury exit.
