Genius Group Sells Bitcoin to Clear 8.5M Debt

Genius Group, an AI-powered education company focused on learning programs for individuals, enterprises, and governments, announced on April 1, 2026, that it had sold its remaining Bitcoin holdings to fully repay 8.5 million in Bitcoin-backed debt, reducing its treasury to zero.

The NYSE-listed firm, which had adopted a Bitcoin-first treasury strategy in November 2024, committed at the time to allocating at least 90 percent of its reserves to the cryptocurrency. Holdings peaked at 440 Bitcoin in February 2025, but a U.S. court order in April 2025 temporarily barred the company from raising funds or issuing shares to expand its treasury. This restriction prompted initial sales, with the company resuming purchases in June 2025 before further liquidations. By the end of 2025, Genius Group held 154 Bitcoin. In a partial sale disclosed on March 9, 2026, it offloaded approximately 102.6 Bitcoin for 7.3 million, reducing the debt to 3.3 million and leaving about 51 Bitcoin. The April announcement confirmed the sale of the remaining holdings to clear the balance, though exact details on the final transaction, including the number of Bitcoin and sale price, were not provided.
