Genius Group has sold its entire Bitcoin stash to clear debt. It plans to rebuild the treasury when markets favor new purchases. The company said the sale removed $8.5 million in liabilities. It added that any new buying would come only when conditions improve.
The NYSE-listed firm provides AI-powered learning and acceleration programs. It serves individuals, enterprises, and governments. Genius Group said the Bitcoin sale allows more attention on core education operations. It also reported stronger first-quarter results, with higher revenue and a return to operating profit.
Entire reserve sold to remove debt
Genius Group said it sold all remaining Bitcoin held on its balance sheet. The company had already reduced the position in recent months. Debt repayment became the main priority during that period. With the final sale completed, the firm no longer holds Bitcoin.
Management said the transaction fully repaid company debt and improved financial flexibility. Last month, Genius Group sold about 86 BTC and kept about 84 BTC. Those remaining coins were later liquidated, according to the update. The company did not give a date for fresh Bitcoin purchases.
Bitcoin strategy changed after court restrictions
Genius Group adopted a “Bitcoin-first strategy” in late 2024. The move came days after Donald Trump won the US presidential election. At that time, the company said at least 90% of reserves would go into Bitcoin. By February 2025, its holdings had reached 440 BTC.
That plan later changed after a US court order restricted financing options. The order blocked the company from raising funds and issuing shares. Genius Group then sold part of its Bitcoin holdings and later exited the position fully. The latest sale ends that phase of its treasury strategy for now.
Education business posts stronger quarter
Alongside the Bitcoin update, Genius Group reported better operating results for Q1 2026. Revenue rose 171% year over year to $3.3 million. Gross profit increased 228% to $2.0 million. Net profit from operations reached $2.7 million, reversing a loss from a year earlier.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $600,000. The company linked the gains to higher-margin education programs and experiential learning. It also cited projects such as Genius School, Genius City in Bali, and AI-powered Space Capsule learning pods. Genius Group said its chief executive continued buying company shares.
The company said the debt repayment gives management more room to focus on operations. Its near-term plan centers on growing education services, not adding Bitcoin. Still, it left open the option of rebuilding its Bitcoin treasury later. Any return to Bitcoin would depend on market conditions and capital needs.
