Genius Group increases Bitcoin holdings to 100 BTC after legal ruling

SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS), currently trading at $0.38 with a market capitalization of $27.46 million, has expanded its Bitcoin treasury by 52% to reach a total of 100 Bitcoin, following a favorable ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals on May 6, 2025, that allowed the company to resume Bitcoin purchases. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock shows significant volatility, with additional insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report.

The AI-powered education group acquired an additional 34 Bitcoin over the past month. The company’s current holdings of 100 Bitcoin were purchased for a total of $10.06 million at an average price of $100,600 per Bitcoin, according to a company press release issued Monday. While InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 3.65, indicating strong short-term liquidity, analysts note the company is quickly burning through cash.

Genius Group maintains its target of building its treasury to 1,000 Bitcoin.

"We launched our Bitcoin Treasury in November 2025, and believe we were one of the first Bitcoin Treasury companies on the NYSE American," said Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group. "We’re pleased to be able to have regained the right to manage our company’s capital in the way our Board and shareholders sees fit."

The company had previously been legally prevented from buying Bitcoin by a U.S. court before the recent Appeals Court ruling.

Genius Group describes itself as an AI-powered education group with a Bitcoin-first treasury that delivers education and acceleration solutions for the future of work. The company reports serving 5.8 million users across more than 100 countries through its digital marketplace of AI training, tools and talent. Despite recent challenges, InvestingPro forecasts 61% revenue growth for FY2025, though the company’s current annual revenue stands at $7.91 million.
