Genius Group has significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings by purchasing 194 Bitcoin for $18 million. The average price per Bitcoin for this acquisition was $92,728.
This acquisition is in line with the company’s “Bitcoin-first” strategy. This strategy commits at least 90% of the company’s reserves to Bitcoin, aiming to reach a total of $120 million in Bitcoin holdings. This information was revealed in a company press release.
Bitcoin and Genius Group
The company’s commitment to Bitcoin began in November with an initial purchase of $10 million in Bitcoin. This was followed by regular weekly investments averaging $2 million. The company will further discuss this strategy during an Investor Meeting at Bitcoin MENA 2024 in Abu Dhabi on December 10. Genius Group CEO Roger Hamilton will also present the AI-powered “Built on Bitcoin” decentralized education network.
AI and Bitcoin in Education
Genius Group integrates AI into education and considers Bitcoin a key part of its financial strategy. CEO Roger Hamilton has compared the company’s strategy to other public companies that have adopted Bitcoin as a reserve asset. He cites Bitcoin’s potential as a “store of value” in the digital economy.
The company’s “Bitcoin-first” strategy aligns with its larger plans to integrate blockchain into its AI-driven educational platforms. These plans involve on-chain certifications and reward systems that leverage Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
This strategy reflects trends among companies like MicroStrategy, who have embraced Bitcoin to diversify their treasury holdings in response to macroeconomic shifts. Genius Group’s focus on speed and consistency in its Bitcoin acquisitions indicates a long-term strategy, rather than a response to market volatility.
