Genius Group, an AI-powered edtech startup headquartered in Singapore, has made a significant foray into the crypto world by purchasing additional Bitcoin in July 2025 and thereby doubling its Bitcoin holdings. The company now has 200 BTC, and this is part of the firm’s broader strategic move to enter the field of blockchain further, which has been mainly inspired by the recent endorsement of the GENIUS Act in the United States.
Latest BTC Purchase Yields Early Profit
The confirmation of the purchase of 20 Bitcoin by Genius Group at an average price of $106,812 per BTC has been out in a recent announcement, which signals that the total amount of the investment was $2.14 million. The prospects of Bitcoin being traded at around $117,000 and $120,600 on the day of the purchase have opened the way for the company to have a paper profit of $216,000 of approximately 9.8%.
Based on BitcoinTreasuries, NET data, the new acquisition comes after purchases made earlier this month. To be specific, they bought 20 BTC on July 2, 28 BTC on July 8, and 32 BTC on July 13. Those transactions, which occurred successively, led Genius Group to beef up their Bitcoin reserves from 100 BTC to 200 BTC in the space of just one month.
The company has certainly ambitious plans as evidenced by their target of 1,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and then 10,000 BTC by 2027 as their long-term crypto reserve strategy.
GENIUS Act: A Key Driver for Crypto Expansion
Genius Group’s overall thrust in its crypto program is directly linked with the recently adopted GENIUS Act (Government Evaluation of New Innovations in the US). The law introduces the whole of the US as the subject of licenses for issuing stablecoins, forces corresponding reserves of 1:1, and prohibits mining of stablecoins based on algorithms that are not supported by real assets. The law also introduces stablecoins as new senior note holders in case of insolvency of the issuer.
Genius Group expresses that the Act will speed up their dream of a blockchain-based education, and at most their existing platform—Genius Academy will be part of this.
Blockchain-Based Education & Stablecoin Plans
The company has a platform called Genius Academy, which utilizes blockchain technology to facilitate learning, that rewards students with GEMs (Genius Education Merits), where one GEM represents the value of one Satoshi. These token-based rewards are gamified and allow participation similar to airline miles yet they are not backed by any fiat or crypto as of now.
On the condition that it is possible to be a Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer (PPSI), Genius Group also declared a new issuance that would lead to exchanging the GEMs into a stablecoin. This token would be available to students and users to be used as digital currency within the platform’s ecosystem.
Moreover, the company wants to launch a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license that would allow the company to put out legal on-chain credentials such as course completions and certifications. In the future, these certifications could be held as assets in the blockchain sphere of intellectual property.
Expanding the Ecosystem
Genius Group also revealed plans to launch on-chain courses and host in-person retreats and accelerators, where students and mentors can use GEMs or its future stablecoin to pay for services like lodging, food, and entertainment.
Meanwhile, educators and partners, who are currently compensated through traditional systems, could eventually be paid directly in stablecoins if regulatory approval is granted.
Ethereum Stands to Benefit
Industry voices, including Ether Machine CEO Andrew Keys, note that Ethereum will be the biggest beneficiary of the GENIUS Act. Since the majority of stablecoins are built on Ethereum’s network, the Act reinforces Ethereum’s dominance in tokenized assets and decentralized financial infrastructure.
