Genius Group, Based in Singapore, Increases Bitcoin Holdings to 200, Targets 10,000-BTC Reserve

Genius Group, an edtech company based in Singapore, has increased its Bitcoin reserves to 200 BTC after purchasing an additional 20 BTC last week, as part of a broader initiative to establish a treasury of 10,000 BTC.

Key Takeaways:

• In July, Genius Group raised its Bitcoin holdings to 200 BTC.
• This increase is part of a long-term strategy to create a 10,000-BTC treasury.
• The firm is developing a blockchain-driven learning platform supported by satoshi-linked tokens known as GEMs.

The recent acquisition, disclosed on Tuesday, was executed at an average price of $106,812 per BTC, which is considerably lower than the market price range of $117,000 to $120,600 that day, according to data from Nansen.

This $2.14 million purchase has elevated Genius Group’s total Bitcoin assets to a value of $2.35 million at the time of this report, reflecting an unrealized gain of $216,000.

Genius Group Completes Fourth Bitcoin Acquisition in July

This marks the company’s fourth acquisition this month, following the purchases of 20 BTC on July 2, 28 BTC on July 8, and 32 BTC on July 13, as reported by BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

Genius Group aims to expand its holdings to 1,000 BTC by the conclusion of 2025, ultimately reaching 10,000 BTC over the next two years.

This initiative is bolstered by recent U.S. legislative advancements, particularly the Government Evaluation of New Innovations in the United States (GENIUS) Act, which the company asserts will support the growth of its blockchain-based learning ecosystem.

A component of this ecosystem is Genius Academy, a blockchain-enabled platform where students can earn Genius Education Merits (GEMs), tokens equivalent to one satoshi.

While GEMs are not currently exchangeable for fiat or cryptocurrency, they operate similarly to airline loyalty points and may eventually integrate into a stablecoin system pending regulatory approvals.

The firm is seeking a Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer (PPSI) license along with a separate Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license.

The licenses would enable Genius Group to convert GEMs into a functional digital currency within its platform and facilitate stablecoin transactions for educators and partners.

The company also intends to create on-chain course certifications recognized as regulated digital assets, providing educators with blockchain-based intellectual property rights.

Genius Group’s overarching vision encompasses real-world applications: retreats and accelerators where participants can utilize GEMs or the forthcoming stablecoin for services such as accommodation and meals.

Ethereum Positioned to Benefit Most from GENIUS Act

In the meantime, Ethereum is expected to gain the most from the GENIUS Act, as noted by Ether Machine CEO Andrew Keys, who remarked that “90% of tokenized assets and stablecoins are deployed on Ethereum.”

He compared Ethereum’s leading role in tokenization to Google’s dominance in internet search, highlighting its infrastructure’s significance in enabling the stablecoin ecosystem.

Public companies are increasingly incorporating altcoins like Ether (ETH), Solana’s SOL, and XRP into their treasury strategies, according to a report from Animoca Brands Research.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has popularized this approach by holding over 600,000 Bitcoins as a safeguard against inflation and currency devaluation.

Recently, BIT Mining announced intentions to raise between $200 million and $300 million to establish a Solana (SOL) treasury as part of a broader expansion into the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Last week, DeFi Development Corp. disclosed that it has acquired $2.7 million worth of Solana as part of its aggressive crypto treasury strategy.
