Genius Group resumes buying Bitcoin, increases Bitcoin Treasury by 40%.

SINGAPORE, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group, today announced that following the favorable ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals, allowing Genius Group to buy Bitcoin, the Company has resumed buying Bitcoin for its Bitcoin Treasury.

The Company has increased its Bitcoin Treasury by an additional 40%, with the purchase of 24.5 Bitcoin. The Company currently holds 85.5 Bitcoin purchased for $8.5 million, at an average price of $99,700 per Bitcoin.

The Company is restating its target to build its Treasury to 1,000 Bitcoin. The target was first announced in November 2024. The Company rapidly built its Bitcoin Treasury to 440 Bitcoin by February 2025, but was then prevented from buying Bitcoin via a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (“PI”) from February 14 until May 6, when the PI was stayed by the U.S. Court of Appeals pending the appeal hearing. During this period the Company was forced to sell most of its Bitcoin Treasury, for which it has filed for damages in an amended RICO suit filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida.

The Company is now in the process of restructuring its operations and rebuilding its Bitcoin Treasury, with the launch of its Bitcoin Academy featuring leading Bitcoin advocates, including Saifedean Ammous, author of “The Bitcoin Standard” scheduled for the end of May.

Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said “We are pleased to be able to begin the task of rebuilding shareholder value from the damage caused by the legal actions of third parties, and delivering on our 2025 plan. Genius is committed to educating students on the ABCs of the Future: AI, Bitcoin and Community, and preparing the world for the coming digital workforce and digital economy. Building our Bitcoin Treasury is a key part of that plan.”
