Genius Group, which delivers AI-powered learning and acceleration programs to individuals, enterprises, and governments, has sold all of its Bitcoin reserves to fully repay its $8.5 million debt, the company announced today. The firm plans a future rebuild of its Bitcoin treasury when market conditions are 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 set out to allocate no less than 90% of its reserves to Bitcoin,
By February 2025, its holdings stood at 440 $BTC. However, Genius Group was later forced to sell part of its Bitcoin holdings after a US court order blocked it from raising funds or issuing shares.
Despite steadily accumulating Bitcoin last year, the firm ended up selling more of its holdings. Last month, it sold roughly 86 $BTC and retained about 84 $BTC. The remaining coins were also liquidated according to today’s update.
The post-election surge in corporate appetite for holding digital assets appears to be losing momentum. Apart from Genius Group, a number of companies have dialed back their exposure.
Nakamoto, led by Bitcoin advocate David Bailey, disclosed the sale of $20 million in Bitcoin earlier this week.
Separately, MARA Holdings said it sold 15,133 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $1.1 billion, to finance the buyback of its 2030 and 2031 convertible notes.
Gross profit rise drives net profit turnaround
Genius Group posted Q1 2026 operational revenue of $3.3 million, marking a 171% year-over-year increase, with gross profit up 228% to $2.0 million.
Net profit from operations reached $2.7 million, reversing a prior-year loss, supported by a strategic focus on higher-margin educational programs and experiential learning.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $600,000. Highlights include the launch of Genius School as a model future school, Genius City expansion in Bali, AI-powered Space Capsule learning pods, and continued CEO investment in company shares.
