AI firm Genius Group Limited experienced a dramatic 66% rise in its stock price after announcing a Bitcoin-first treasury strategy, aiming to hold 90% of its assets in Bitcoin. The company's approach mirrors that of MicroStrategy, starting with an initial $150 million at-the-market offering to acquire $120 million in Bitcoin. Alongside this shift, Genius Group plans to enable Bitcoin payments on its EdTech platform and introduce a Web3 education series. Director Thomas Power expressed strong support for the Bitcoin investment strategy, noting its potential benefits for shareholders. Following a board restructuring that brought in blockchain and Web3 experts, the company, listed on the NYSE American since 2022, places a strong emphasis on Bitcoin as a key store of value for future educational technologies. Genius Group's move aligns with other companies similarly adopting Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategies this year.
