Genius Group has liquidated its remaining Bitcoin holdings to fully repay $8.5 million in debt, the company confirmed today. The NYSE-listed firm said it cleared the balance after selling all digital asset reserves. It also stated that it plans to rebuild its Bitcoin treasury when market conditions improve.

Genius Group and Bitcoin Strategy Shift

Genius Group adopted a Bitcoin-first treasury policy in late 2024 after Donald Trump won the US presidential election. The company committed to allocating at least 90% of its reserves to Bitcoin. By February 2025, it held 440 BTC as part of that strategy.

However, a US court order later blocked the company from raising funds or issuing shares. As a result, Genius Group began selling portions of its Bitcoin holdings. Last month, it sold about 86 BTC and retained around 84 BTC.

The company confirmed that it has now liquidated the remaining coins. It used the proceeds to fully repay its outstanding $8.5 million debt. Genius Group stated that it intends to rebuild its Bitcoin treasury when markets become favorable.

Corporate Bitcoin Sales Expand as Nakamoto and MARA Adjust Holdings

Genius Group was not alone in reducing its Bitcoin exposure. Nakamoto, led by Bitcoin advocate David Bailey, disclosed the sale of $20 million in Bitcoin earlier this week. The company did not provide further details about the transaction.

Meanwhile, MARA Holdings reported the sale of 15,133 Bitcoin valued at roughly $1.1 billion. The company said it used the proceeds to finance the buyback of its 2030 and 2031 convertible notes. These moves followed a broader pullback in corporate digital asset holdings.

Revenue Growth and Gross Profit Drive Operational Turnaround

Genius Group reported Q1 2026 operational revenue of $3.3 million. The figure marked a 171% year-over-year increase. Gross profit rose 228% to $2.0 million during the same period.

Net profit from operations reached $2.7 million, reversing a loss recorded in the prior year. The company attributed the turnaround to higher-margin educational programs and experiential learning initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $600,000.

The company also highlighted several recent initiatives. It launched Genius School as a model future school and expanded Genius City in Bali. It also introduced AI-powered Space Capsule learning pods and reported continued CEO investment in company shares.
