JUST IN: Singapore’s Genius Group Boosts Bitcoin Treasury with $2.7M Purchase

Singapore-based Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS), a leading AI and education technology firm, has made headlines again with its latest acquisition of 24.5 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $2.7 million. This strategic move, announced on May 22, 2025, increases the company’s Bitcoin treasury by 40%, bringing its total holdings to 85.5 BTC, worth around $8.5 million at an average purchase price of $99,700 per Bitcoin.

The purchase follows a U.S. court ruling that lifted a previous ban on the company’s Bitcoin accumulation, allowing Genius Group to resume its aggressive treasury strategy. The firm, which adopted Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset in November 2024, has now reaffirmed its goal of acquiring 1,000 BTC, signaling strong confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value.

Genius Group’s CEO emphasized the company’s vision, stating, “Building our Bitcoin Treasury is a key part of our plan to leverage Bitcoin as the primary store of value powering exponential technologies.” This aligns with the firm’s broader mission to integrate AI, blockchain, and digital assets into its education and technology offerings.

The acquisition comes amid a broader trend of institutional Bitcoin adoption, with companies like Basel Medical Group in Singapore also diversifying their treasuries with significant BTC purchases. Despite a reported decline in individual crypto ownership in Singapore—down to 29% in 2025 from 40% in 2024—corporate interest in Bitcoin remains robust, driven by its perceived role as a hedge against fiat currency risks.

Genius Group’s stock, trading at $0.38 per share, has shown significant volatility, with a beta of 10.44, according to InvestingPro analysis. The company is also navigating legal challenges, pursuing a $450 million lawsuit alleging fraud and extortion, while a shareholder-approved buyback program aims to repurchase up to 20% of its shares.

This latest Bitcoin purchase underscores Genius Group’s bold financial strategy and its commitment to positioning itself at the intersection of AI, education, and cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin’s price continues to climb, with 77% of Singaporean crypto investors predicting it will surpass $100,000 by 2030, Genius Group’s treasury expansion could prove to be a prescient move.
