Genius Group Sells Entire Bitcoin Stock to Clear Debt, Plans to Rebuild Treasury When Markets Favor

Genius Group, a provider of AI-powered learning and acceleration programs to individuals, enterprises and governments, announced today that it has sold all of its bitcoin holdings to fully repay its $8.5 million debt. The company plans to rebuild its Bitcoin treasury in the future when market conditions become more favorable.

Genius Group first adopted a Bitcoin-first strategy in late 2024, days after Donald Trump won the US presidential election. The NYSE-listed company plans to allocate no less than 90% of its reserves to bitcoin.

In February 2025, the holdings stood at 440 BTC. However, Genius Group was later forced to sell part of its bitcoin holdings after a US court order prevented it from raising funds or issuing shares.

Despite steadily accumulating bitcoin over the past year, the firm has ended up selling many of its holdings. Last month, it traded around 86 BTC and held around 84 BTC. The rest of the coins have also been mined as per today's update.

The post-election boom in corporate appetite for holding digital assets appears to be waning. In addition to Genius Group, several companies have dialed back their vulnerabilities.

Led by Bitcoin activist David Bailey, Nakamoto announced a $20 million sale of Bitcoin earlier this week.

He said he sold 15,133 bitcoins, worth an estimated $1.1 billion, to purchase convertible notes due 2030 and 2031.

An increase in gross profit leads to a change in net profit

Genius Group posted Q1 2026 operating income of $3.3 million, a 171% year-over-year increase, while gross profit rose 228% to $2.0 million.

Net profit from operations was $2.7 million, reversing prior-year losses, supported by a strategic focus on high-margin educational programs and experiential learning.

Adjusted EBITDA improved to $600,000. Highlights include the launch of Genius School as a model school of the future, the expansion of Genius City in Bali, AI-powered Space Capsule learning pods and the next CEO investment in company shares.
