In the same year that Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, mined the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the Genesis Block.
The launch of the iPad in 2010 marked a turning point in digital design, pushing websites to adapt seamlessly to both touch and smaller screen sizes. Within just a few years, responsive layouts became the new normal across the web design industry, reshaping how users expected to browse and interact online.

Within two months, grew from a 2.5p listing price to exceed a £1 billion market capitalisation (as at 21 June 2025) - making it one of the most successful IPOs in UK history. In its first six months as a public company, SWC raised over £225 million, establishing a strong foundation based on digital capital.
