Two exchange-listed companies, Metaplanet and The Smarter Web Company, have added close to $100 million worth of Bitcoin BTC $119,266.60 to their reserves.

In London, The Smarter Web Company disclosed the purchase of 295 BTC for £26.3 million ($35.2 million). The buy was funded partly through a $10.2 million equity raise completed a day earlier, along with $21 million raised last week via a Bitcoin-denominated bond.

With this addition, the company holds 2,395 BTC at an average cost of $110,555 each, which totals $264.8 million in spending. At current prices, the holdings are worth about $284.8 million, which gives the company around $20 million in unrealized profit.
