The Debt That Almost Outran Light: Bitcoin Bonds & the Saga of Smarter Web

by

In a universe where money sometimes seems to have a mischievous mind of its own, Smarter Web Company decided to wave its metaphorical magic wand-and voila!-a $21 million bond, but with a twist: it’s denominated in Bitcoin, because why not turn the crypto universe into a financial turntable? 🪄✨

Imagine a bond so fashionable that it’s convertible into its own shares or a handful of digital gold (BTC, for the uninitiated). Meanwhile, TOBAM, apparently wielding the powers of a financial wizard, already snapped up the whole lot. No doubt they are pondering whether to toast with champagne or just stare at the numbers and marvel about the future.

On August 6-because time is a flat circle-Smarter Web unveiled “Smarter Convert,” a product of high-tech financial wizardry and French philosophical investment firm TOBAM-who, having been around since the days when Bitcoin was just a twinkle in some nerd’s eye, now appears to be placing bets on digital currencies like a squirrel hoards acorns. 🐿️

And the plot thickens! These bonds are interest-free (because why pay when you can just hope?) and can be converted to shares, or if investors are feeling creatively threatened, they can simply wait-receiving 98% of the Bitcoin value at the time of their choosing, just to keep everyone guessing. Because life isn’t complicated enough, right?

What’s this? Smarter Web, a treasury firm and part-time magician, holding 2,050 Bitcoin coins-marvels in the top 25 worldwide Bitcoin treasury clubs-says “Let’s make finance fun again” and boldly goes where few firms have dared: issuing bonds in the currency of the future, today.

Bitcoin Bonds: The Rebel Yell of the Financial World

Seriously, the fact that tax-paying traditional firms are now flirting with Bitcoin bonds like it’s the latest fashion suggests that the financial regulators might be running out of patience-or interest-either way, the crypto world just hit a high score. 🎯

In case you missed it, TOBAM-Europe’s early bird crypto investor-has been riding the blockchain train since 2016, proving that even traditional finance types are occasionally capable of evolving. Maybe next, they’ll start wearing sneakers. 🚶‍♂️
