The firm’s Bitcoin-focused approach, revealed in November 2024, designates more than 90% of existing and potential assets to Bitcoin. The recent purchase enabled the company to raise $36 million within two months of the $120 million target. Genius Group achieved this before the scheduled time to show its strong focus on its digital asset objectives.

By January 9, 2024, the company’s Bitcoin Treasury amounted to $35 million in market capitalization. This represented 83% of their $42 million market capitalization based on the 66 million shares they had outstanding at $0.64 each.

Strategic Investments Backed by Crypto Loans

Genius Group has raised more capital to enable it to expand its Bitcoin adoption. The company also raised the crypto-backed loan it has with Arch Lending to $14 million from the initial $10 million. The loan has a loan to value ratio of 40% meaning that the financials will be safe during this aggressive expansion mode.

Furthermore, the company wants to increase the net asset value of its Bitcoin Treasury to $1 billion in the next ten years. CEO Roger Hamilton has a leadership package that has targets related to this lofty goal and a $1 billion market valuation.

These strategic financial decisions are in line with the company’s decision to be Bitcoin first. Genius Group employs BTC Yield as a KPI to compare Bitcoin purchases with the company’s diluted share count. This method shows the company’s strategy of achieving growth and maintaining shareholder returns.

In the fourth quarter of the year 2024, the firm recorded a BTC Yield of 1,649%. CFO Gaurav Dama added that the company’s BTC to market cap ratio was at 75%, which is higher than industry norms and could suggest underestimated equity.

Acquisitions Bolster Bitcoin Education

Genius Group’s recent acquisition of XD Academy is an extension of its current strategy. XD Academy focuses on providing Bitcoin and blockchain courses. This acquisition enables Genius Group to incorporate education on digital currency in its platforms following its bitcoin-first strategy.
