It’s Monday again, and time to take a look at the latest news to come from the hottest sector in UK small caps right now. Treasury stocks are leading the way again, with a flurry of news dropping at 7am this morning. The market has had all day to digest this news, so what’s hot, what’s not, and what’s stayed static?
1. GSTechnologies Ltd – Placing and Retail Offer
This morning, GST announced a dual fundraising, comprising a placing targeting institutional investors alongside a retail offer, allowing existing UK shareholders to participate.
GST are aiming to raise approximately £2m – £1.75m from the placing and a further £250k from retail shareholders. For those looking to get involved, time is tight, as the offer closes tomorrow (8/7/25), with the share expected to be admitted on July 15th. The placing was offered at a 13% discount to Friday’s closing share price.
This funding will likely be allocated to the company’s Bitcoin treasury, which will presumably please the bulls.
The stock closed the day down 10.76% at 1.23p
2. Tao Alpha PLC (to be renamed Satsuma Technology PLC) – Appointment of Leading Bitcoin Treasury Strategist to the Board
Henry Elder has been appointed to the board as a non-executive director, succeeding Mark Rutledge, who is departing. Henry Elder was a key member of UTXO management, where he helped build and execute Bitcoin treasury strategies for numerous public and private companies.
This news was taken well by the market, and the stock finished the day 29.19% higher at 10.40p.
3. GSTechnologies Ltd – Retail Offer
The second RNS of the morning from GSTechnologies focuses strictly on the retail offer. In summary, it reinforces the company’s commitment to its shareholders by allowing them to participate alongside institutional investors.
The stock closed the day down 10.76% at 1.23p
4. Smarter Web Company – Bitcoin Purchase and Updated Investor Presentation
It wouldn’t be a Monday crypto stocks round up without some news from Smarter Web Company, it’s hard to believe that this company only came to market just a few months ago and what a ride it’s been for shareholders.
Another big Bitcoin purchase has taken place, raising the company’s BTC treasury to 1000BTC – This time, 226.42 BTC have been purchased for £78,932 with a total cost of £17.87m. This brings the company’s total HODL to £78.2m, still a considerable way to go to catch up with the company’s inflated market capitalisation.
In addition to this, the company has released an updated investor presentation outlining its 10-year plan and how it will utilise its BTC treasury for future acquisitions.
The stock ended the day down 7.75% at £2.97 a share
5. Vault Ventures PLC – Notice of General Meeting and Live Investor Q&A
Some excitement among VULT investors today as the company announced that it will now be hosting its AMA on July 15th. This will follow immediately after the company’s General Meeting on the same date. For those interested in the stock, the meeting will take place at 10:00 a.m. on July 15, 2025. Although I believe most of the volume was driven by the expected announcement of the closing of the fundraise and purchase of either more ETH or SOL.
The stock finished the day 15.56% higher with a share price of 0.026p
As has been the case lately, it still seems that treasury stocks are driving the market forward, with some of the more traditional stocks not rallying in line. Whether this continues to be the case remains to be seen, but where there is volume, there’s a trade, so I can not see it slowing down anytime soon.
