Smarter Web Company sells 177.89 BTC to repay $12M, holds 2,700 BTC

Smarter Web Company sold 177.89 BTC to repay $11.69 million owed to TOBAM under a prior Smarter Convert agreement, reducing its Bitcoin treasury but leaving it with 2,700 BTC. The move is framed as liquidity and balance-sheet management rather than a bearish shift in strategy, since the firm still ranks among the larger corporate Bitcoin holders and says it remains committed to its long-term treasury approach. The article notes that Bitcoin prediction-market pricing continues to show strong confidence that BTC will hold above several key levels despite the sale. Near-term sentiment may be influenced more by broader macro events, such as upcoming U.S. CPI data and Federal Reserve commentary, than by this one corporate liquidation.
