Genius Group, the AI-driven education company, is taking a bold swing—and if it connects, shareholders could cash in while the company walks away with a massive stack of Bitcoin.
In a surprising move revealed this week, Genius Group announced plans to use proceeds from two high-stakes lawsuits—valued at over $1 billion—to fund both shareholder payouts and a Bitcoin-buying spree. The board has approved a unique strategy: split any net legal winnings 50/50, with half going to shareholders as a special dividend and the other half building a corporate Bitcoin treasury.
According to the company, if both lawsuits succeed, shareholders could receive a special dividend of up to $7 per share, while Genius Group could acquire 5,000 BTC, currently worth over $535 million.
That would represent one of the most aggressive Bitcoin accumulations by a public company to date.
“We’re turning adversity into opportunity,” said CEO Roger Hamilton. “If we win, our shareholders benefit directly, and we position ourselves as a leader in the Bitcoin economy.”
Genius Group’s legal strategy revolves around two major lawsuits:
Hamilton emphasized the lawsuits are designed to recover damages directly suffered by the company and its shareholders.
Genius Group has already begun building its Bitcoin reserves, increasing its holdings by over 50% earlier this month. The company’s short-term goal is to accumulate 1,000 BTC—but a legal windfall could fast-track that to five times as much.
“There’s no guarantee how much we’ll recover,” Hamilton acknowledged, “but if justice prevails and Bitcoin rises, it could be poetic. The victims could end up far better off because we chose to fight back.”
