Satsuma Technology raised $135 million to fund one of the UK's biggest single Bitcoin treasury acquisitions, positioning itself as a top regional BTC holder.
The planned acquisition may also mark the largest single Bitcoin purchase by a UK company, as The Smarter Web accumulated its holdings through multiple transactions. Satsuma could acquire more than half of its total in a single buy.
Satsuma Technology performed the raise through a secured convertible loan note offering, with Fortified Securities acting as the lead broker for non-US investors and Dawson James Securities as the mandated broker for US investors. In the US, the raise was a private offering to accredited investors.
“The funding will enable us to both accelerate the growth of our business operations as well as position us at the forefront in London of the Bitcoin community,” said the company chairman, Matt Lodge.
“This successful capital raise marks a pivotal moment, not just for Satsuma, but for the London market,” said Satsuma Technology CEO Henry Elder. He said that the firm launched its offering to “test the institutional appetite for our vision — a future where corporate treasury and decentralized AI are deeply intertwined.”

subnets, providing validator nodes and a Subnet Task Marketplace. Bittensor is a decentralized AI marketplace, and Satsuma Technology builds infrastructure and AI agents for this ecosystem.
Satsuma Technologies’ TAO subnets issue alpha tokens that are paired with TAO in liquidity pools, with their price purportedly depending on the subnet’s market value. “As subnet adoption grows, so does the value of its corresponding alpha tokens,“ it said.
The announcement comes amid growing institutional interest in crypto treasuries, as UK firms increasingly blend digital assets with emerging technologies like AI.
