Genius Group, a Singapore-based AI-driven education company, has expanded its corporate Bitcoin holdings by over 50%, reflecting the growing trend of institutional investment in the cryptocurrency.
Despite previously facing restrictions on corporate Bitcoin accumulation, the Nasdaq-listed firm added 34 BTC to its treasury over the past month — a 52% increase in holdings.
According to a Monday announcement, the company now holds a total of 100 BTC, acquired for more than $10 million at an average purchase price of $100,600 per Bitcoin.
The move aligns with Genius Group’s long-term strategy to build a corporate treasury of 1,000 BTC.
Genius Group resumed its Bitcoin accumulation on May 22, following a $2.7 million BTC investment, after the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a previous ban on its crypto purchases.
The restriction originated from a March 13 ruling by a New York District Court, which issued a preliminary injunction (PI) and temporary restraining order (TRO) related to an ongoing dispute over the company’s merger with FatBrain AI. The order also prohibited Genius Group from making additional Bitcoin acquisitions at the time.
Genius Group Was Among the First Bitcoin Treasury Firms Legally Barred from Purchasing BTC, Says CEO
“We launched our Bitcoin Treasury in November 2025 and believe we were among the first Bitcoin Treasury companies listed on the NYSE American,” wrote Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, adding:
“We also believe that subsequent to our announcement, we were one of the only companies legally prevented from buying Bitcoin by a US court.”
Hamilton expressed satisfaction at regaining control over the company’s capital strategy, stating he is “pleased to have regained the right to manage our company’s capital in the way our Board and shareholders see fit.” He also reaffirmed Genius Group’s objective of accumulating 1,000 BTC.
The move reflects a broader trend among companies adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. On June 13, video game giant GameStop expanded its private convertible note offering to $2.25 billion, indicating a stronger commitment to growing its own Bitcoin treasury.
The financing round follows GameStop’s May 28 announcement of its purchase of 4,710 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $513 million. According to data from Bitbo, this acquisition positions GameStop as the 11th largest corporate holder of BTC.
