Genius Group Sells All Bitcoin to Repay $8.5 Million Debt

The move prioritizes debt reduction over a prior Bitcoin-first policy.

Overview

  • Genius Group, which disclosed Wednesday it had sold its remaining coins, used the proceeds to clear its $8.5 million liability and now holds no crypto reserves.
  • A U.S. court order that limited fundraising and share issuance pushed the company to unwind holdings built under its late-2024 Bitcoin-first strategy.
  • The Bitcoin stash peaked at about 440 BTC by February 2025 and fell to roughly 84 BTC by February 2026 after staged sales to manage liquidity.
  • Q1 2026 results showed a rebound with $3.3 million in revenue, $2.0 million in gross profit, $2.7 million in profit from operations, and $600,000 in adjusted EBITDA as it shifted toward higher-margin education and experiential learning.
  • Management said it will rebuild a Bitcoin treasury when it judges market conditions favorable, a stance that tracks a broader wave of corporate crypto sales, including large disposals reported by MARA, Bitdeer, and Nakamoto.
