Genius Group sold its entire Bitcoin reserves to repay $8.5 million in debt, the company said today. The firm entered a Bitcoin first strategy in late 2024 after the US election, allocating most reserves to Bitcoin and building a treasury position that reached 440 BTC by February 2025.
After a court order blocked fundraising and share issuance, the company sold portions of its holdings and reduced exposure. In February 2026, Genius Group held about 84 BTC after prior sales that included roughly 86 BTC in the month before.
The remaining Bitcoin was liquidated to remove $8.5 million in liabilities and support debt repayment, leaving the company without crypto reserves and selling at a loss.
Genius Group reported Q1 2026 operational revenue of $3.3 million, up 171 percent from the prior year, with gross profit at $2.0 million and net operating profit at $2.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA reached $600,000 as the company shifted focus toward higher margin education programs and experiential learning.
Genius Group: Rebuilding a bitcoin treasury at the right time
The company said it will rebuild its Bitcoin treasury when market conditions support renewed accumulation.
“In addition to an ongoing focus on profitable operations, the Company has restructured its debt agreements, selling the remainder of its Bitcoin Treasury and repaying in full the Company’s $8.5 million in debt. The Company will recommence building its Bitcoin Treasury when it believes market conditions are more favourable,” the company wrote in a release.
Chief executive Roger Hamilton said the group focus remains on three units: Genius School, Genius Academy, and Genius Resorts. The group said legal actions progressed during the quarter and management focus stayed on operations and growth initiatives.
Genius Group outlined a series of operational and strategic developments as it continues to reposition its business around education technology and experiential learning. The company said its Genius Academy division expanded AI-powered learning programs tailored for enterprises and government partners, aimed at workforce training and skills development.

At the same time, Genius Resorts contributed incremental revenue through experiential education offerings, including hosted learning events in Bali that blend curriculum with immersive, on-site instruction.
The firm also reported progress on its broader infrastructure ambitions in Southeast Asia, citing continued expansion of its “Genius City” initiative in Bali. The project is designed to scale both student and residential capacity, building out a combined education and living hub.
On the financial side, the company pointed to insider buying as a signal of confidence, with its CEO accumulating a total of 5.5 million shares since 2024. Revenue growth was driven by expansion across business lines, alongside a shift toward higher-margin segments that improved the company’s overall gross margin profile.
Genius Group also reported a return to net profitability, supported by a reduced debt burden and the restructuring of financing agreements. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive, which the company said aligns with its operational targets for fiscal 2026.
