Genius Group increases Bitcoin holdings by 23% to 148 BTC

SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American:GNS), a $95.84 million market cap education technology company, has purchased 28 Bitcoin at an average price of $102,858, increasing its Bitcoin treasury by 23% to 148 Bitcoin, the company announced Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has shown remarkable volatility with a beta of 11.06, reflecting its aggressive growth strategy.

The AI-powered education group said it has achieved a 113% BTC yield since May 22, 2025, when a preliminary injunction preventing the company from purchasing Bitcoin was stayed by the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Genius Group has also increased its Bitcoin treasury target tenfold, from 1,000 to 10,000 Bitcoin, with plans to reach this goal within 12 to 24 months.

"Our most recent purchase is in line with our stated intention of making ongoing purchases of Bitcoin to achieve our target, whilst also increasing our BTC yield and Bitcoin per share for the benefit of our shareholders," said Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group.

The company describes itself as a "Bitcoin-first business" that delivers AI-powered education and acceleration solutions. According to the press release statement, Genius Group serves 5.8 million users across more than 100 countries through its digital marketplace offering AI training, tools, and talent.

The announcement comes as Bitcoin continues to attract corporate treasury investments amid broader institutional adoption of cryptocurrency assets.

In other recent news, Genius Group Limited has announced several significant developments. The company is set to acquire Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd, which is expected to increase its 2025 revenue guidance by 50%, boosting revenue from approximately $10 million to a range of $15 million to $18 million. This acquisition involves an all-share transaction valued at $21.5 million and is pending regulatory approval. Additionally, Genius Group has expanded its Bitcoin treasury to 100 Bitcoin, following a favorable U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that allowed the company to resume Bitcoin purchases. The company aims to build its treasury to 1,000 Bitcoin, having acquired the additional Bitcoin at an average price of $100,600 each.

In another development, Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, increased his stake in the company by purchasing 650,000 shares on the open market. This move raises his total shareholding by 10% to 7.5 million shares. The company also appointed Kevin Malone as a board advisor, who will assist in addressing market manipulation issues. Malone has chosen to receive his compensation in Genius Group shares, aligning his interests with those of the shareholders.
