Genius Group, an AI and education company based in Singapore, has renewed its Bitcoin acquisition efforts following the recent lifting of restrictions by a U.S. court. This development will allow the firm to expand its crypto holdings once more.
The favorable ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals has cleared the way for Genius Group to resume building its Bitcoin treasury.

On May 22, the company disclosed that it had increased its Bitcoin holdings by adding 24.5 BTC, bringing its total to 85.5 BTC.
The acquisition was made at an average cost of $99,700 per Bitcoin, resulting in a total investment of approximately $8.5 million. This represents a 40% increase in its Bitcoin reserves since the favorable judicial decision.

The resumption of Bitcoin purchases comes after a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals, which lifted a preliminary injunction that had previously prevented Genius Group from using investor funds for Bitcoin acquisitions.
This injunction, issued on February 14, had compelled the firm to halt its Bitcoin strategy and liquidate a substantial portion of its holdings.

Prior to the judicial-induced halt, the company had successfully expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 440 BTC by February 2025.
While its activities were paused, Genius Group also filed a revised RICO lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, seeking damages related to what it terms the “legal actions of third parties” that adversely impacted its operations and led to asset divestment.
“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,” stated Genius Group CEO Roger Hamilton. “Building our Bitcoin Treasury is a key part of that plan.”
The company is also progressing with its educational projects, including the anticipated launch of its Bitcoin Academy at the end of May.
This academy promises to feature prominent figures from the Bitcoin ecosystem, including Saifedean Ammous, the author of The Bitcoin Standard.
Hamilton emphasized that the organization aims to equip students with knowledge in what it refers to as the “ABCs of the Future: AI, Bitcoin and Community,” aligning with the evolving landscape of the digital economy.
Genius Group, traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol GNS, is dedicated to integrating artificial intelligence, Bitcoin, and community-oriented education.
Currently, the firm caters to over 5.8 million users across more than 100 nations.
According to Google Finance, the company’s stock is currently priced at $0.34, reflecting a decline of over 8% from the previous day and less than half of its value at the start of the year.

Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Grow as More Companies Embrace BTC
Genius Group’s renewed focus on Bitcoin accumulation places it within a rapidly growing group of companies adopting BTC as a strategic treasury asset.
This shift follows a broader trend initiated by Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy), which has emerged as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin worldwide.
As of May 18, Strategy holds an impressive 576,230 BTC, valued at over $40 billion, acquired at an average price of $69,726 per Bitcoin.
Recently, the company added a further 7,390 BTC, spending just under $765 million at an average cost of $103,498 each. So far in 2025, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio has seen a return of 16.3%.

The influence of Strategy is evidently growing. Earlier this month, a Bahrain-listed catering company announced a Bitcoin treasury strategy in collaboration with 10X Capital.
In a similar vein, Hong Kong-listed luxury watchmaker Top Win underwent a rebranding to AsiaStrategy and experienced a share price increase exceeding 60% following the announcement of its Bitcoin-first initiative, supported by Sora Ventures.
