TD₿: The REAL Reason Traditional Firms Are Investing in Bitcoin (a live New York Stock Exchange video interview) with Swan CIO Ben Workman
TL;DR: Ben Workman joins Remy Blaire at the NYSE to discuss why companies are turning to Bitcoin over cash or gold, its resilience in volatile markets, and what Bitcoin per share means for finance.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In 2025, Bitcoin adoption is accelerating across corporate finance, as more traditional firms view it as a strategic balance sheet asset. Ben Workman, CIO of Swan Bitcoin, explains that rising U.S. fiscal deficits and unchecked monetary expansion are reinforcing Bitcoin’s appeal as a store of value.
With over 60 days above $100,000 and year-to-date outperformance against traditional assets, Bitcoin continues to prove resilient amid market volatility. Corporations and nations alike are turning to Bitcoin not only as a hedge against inflation but as a performance-driven treasury strategy that outpaces cash and even gold.
Workman highlights a growing trend: companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies are being rewarded by markets, with some firms seeing 30–40% stock gains following announcements. Key metrics like “Bitcoin per share” and “Bitcoin yield” are becoming standard investor KPIs, reflecting how much Bitcoin each share represents and how fast that value is growing.
While some firms issue securities to accumulate BTC, the broader shift is toward simply holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet—signaling long-term value creation. However, Workman stresses the need for robust governance, sound custody solutions, and prudent leverage management to mitigate risks as this new financial paradigm unfolds.

Bitcoin Hits 100% Profitable Trading Days, Cementing Its Lead Over Gold and Stocks
Bitcoin’s meteoric rise—from $0.07 in 2010 to over $100,000 in 2025—has redefined modern investing, generating massive wealth and establishing itself as a cornerstone of the future financial system.
According to Bitcoin Magazine Pro, 5,441 of the 5,442 days since Bitcoin began trading have been profitable when compared to today’s price—an astonishing 99.98% success rate. Over 80% of all trading days have been profitable, reinforcing long-term investor conviction amid volatility.
The macroeconomic backdrop further strengthens Bitcoin’s case. Since 2013, while global money supply (M2) expanded from $61 trillion to over $102 trillion, Bitcoin surged from $113 to over $118,000—supporting its role as a hedge against inflation.
A simple $100-per-month DCA strategy into Bitcoin over the past nine years would have turned $10,900 into more than $230,670—a 2,016% return. By comparison, gold yielded just 103%, Apple stock 204%, and the Dow Jones only 56%, making Bitcoin the clear outperformer among both commodities and equities.
U.K. Tech Firm The Smarter Web Company Adds £21.88M in Bitcoin, Treasury Now Tops £100M
The Smarter Web Company has purchased an additional 275 Bitcoin for £21.88 million, bringing its total holdings to 1,275 BTC—valued at over £100 million. This latest acquisition, made at an average price of £79,563 per Bitcoin, raises the company’s overall cost basis to £78,516 per BTC.
As part of its strategic “10 Year Plan,” the firm has integrated Bitcoin into its long-term treasury model, reporting a staggering 31,263% year-to-date BTC yield and a 30-day yield of 497%.
The UK-based web development and digital marketing firm began accepting Bitcoin payments in 2023 and formally launched its Bitcoin treasury strategy in April 2025, shortly before going public on the Aquis Stock Exchange. The company raised up to £2 million during its IPO, with participation from both institutional and retail investors via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform.
With £31 million still available in cash reserves for future BTC purchases, CEO Andrew Webley expressed hope that their pioneering approach will inspire broader Bitcoin adoption among UK corporations.
