Genius Group has unveiled a plan to rebuild its Bitcoin holdings months after selling its entire reserve to reduce debt. The NYSE-listed education company wants to create parallel Bitcoin and artificial intelligence treasuries as part of an asset plan.

The company aims to build the two treasuries to a combined value of $1.6 billion by fiscal year 2031. Genius Group also targets company assets of $2 billion over the same period.

Genius Group Returns to Bitcoin Strategy

Genius Group sold its remaining Bitcoin in April to repay $8.5 million in debt. The company made the sale during weaker crypto prices and financial pressure across digital asset treasury firms.

The company adopted a “Bitcoin first” strategy in late 2024. Its holdings reached 440 BTC by February 2025. A court order later restricted fundraising and share issuance, which led the company to reduce its Bitcoin position.

Genius Group plans to rebuild its Bitcoin reserve through preferred stock instead of ordinary equity sales. The company intends to use part of its $1.2 billion SEC-cleared shelf registration to issue Perpetual Preferred Securities.

The first planned raise targets $12.5 million. Genius Group expects to divide the proceeds between its Bitcoin treasury, AI treasury and a cash reserve. The cash portion would cover about 18 months of dividend payments.

Company Sets $2 Billion Asset Target

Chief Executive Roger James Hamilton said returns above the preferred dividend rate would add value for shareholders. The company expects preferred capital to become its main funding source as it reduces reliance on its ordinary share at-the-market program.

The planned structure follows a funding approach used by public companies with Bitcoin strategies. Strategy has raised more than $16 billion through perpetual preferred stock for its Bitcoin holdings. Strive Asset Management has raised more than $150 million through a similar structure.

Genius Group previously reduced its Bitcoin position after legal restrictions limited its ability to raise capital. The company sold about 86 BTC in one month and held about 84 BTC by February 2026.

It later sold the remaining coins and used the proceeds to clear $8.5 million in debt. Genius Group reported that the liquidation resulted in a loss. The company now holds no Bitcoin, but its new plan would restart accumulation alongside its AI treasury.
