Genius Group buys $5m more in Bitcoin, totaling treasury to $35m

Genius Group Limited has increased its Bitcoin Treasury to $35 million. 

The transaction exceeded its target early, as it continues to accumulate Bitcoin, aiming to reach $120 million worth, based on the company’s announcement.

Two months ago, the announcement was made by the Singapore-based education company that focuses on artificial intelligence, revealing their “Bitcoin-centric” approach as of early November.

Genius Group made a $5 million investment in Bitcoin, increasing its Bitcoin portfolio to 372 Bitcoins. This was acquired on average for approximately $94,047 per Bitcoin.

By January 9th, the value of the company’s Bitcoin reserves stood at approximately $35 million, mirroring a Bitcoin market price of roughly $94,000.

With Genius Group’s market capitalization at $42 million, its BTC-to-price ratio stands at 83%.

Genius Group’s additional loan 

As a researcher, I’ve noticed that Genius Group, in an effort to expand its Bitcoin reserves, has elevated its loan agreement with Arch Lending from $10 million to $14 million. This strategic move maintains a consistent 40% loan-to-value ratio, as per the official announcement.

The business is utilizing crypto-secured loans extensively to finance its reserves while avoiding the sale of Bitcoin, following a plan that aims to keep at least 90% of its reserves invested in Bitcoin.

SmartEd, an organization focusing on merging AI with education, considers Bitcoin an essential element in their financial planning. Much like other publicly-traded companies adopting Bitcoin as a form of savings, CEO Roger Hamilton sees the company’s strategy mirroring this approach. He highlights Bitcoin’s potential role as a “digital treasure chest” within the digital economy.

The company’s approach of prioritizing Bitcoin ties in with its ambition to integrate blockchain technology within its AI-driven learning environments. This vision encompasses the adoption of on-platform certification and incentive systems, leveraging the efficiency of the Bitcoin Lightning Network for transactions.
