TREE NEWS update: Education company Genius Group purchased 10 bitcoin worth $854,000, its first repurchase since selling its entire bitcoin reserve on April 1 to repay $8.5 million in debt. The company had accumulated 440 BTC by February 2025 before a roughly year-long New York injunction tied to a dispute with LZG International. The US Second Circuit Court of Appeals lifted that freeze on August 31, and CEO Roger James Hamilton called the purchase a signal that Genius Group is resuming bitcoin accumulation.
Genius Group buys 10 BTC after selling entire bitcoin reserve to repay debt
After unwinding a 440 BTC treasury to clear debt, Genius Group is restarting accumulation with a token-sized buy, so the signal matters more than the size. The real constraint was never conviction but the injunction that froze its balance sheet; with that lifted, the company can again use bitcoin as a treasury instrument. Whether 10 BTC becomes a genuine reserve rebuild or a one-off gesture is the open question, and it will be judged against how the education business funds further purchases.
