Genius Group Stock Price, News & Analysis

Genius Group (NYSE: GNS), an AI-powered education company, has resumed Bitcoin purchases following a favorable U.S. Court of Appeals ruling. The company increased its Bitcoin Treasury by 40%, acquiring 24.5 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 85.5 Bitcoin valued at $8.5 million (average price: $99,700 per Bitcoin).

GNS reaffirms its target of building a 1,000 Bitcoin Treasury, initially announced in November 2024. The company had accumulated 440 Bitcoin by February 2025 but was forced to sell most holdings due to a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction from February 14 to May 6, 2025. In response, GNS has filed an amended RICO suit for damages. The company plans to launch its Bitcoin Academy featuring Bitcoin experts like Saifedean Ammous by end of May 2025.

Genius Group (NYSE: GNS) has filed an amended RICO lawsuit against Peter Ritz and Michael Moe of LZGI International, expanding the case to include two additional defendants, Michael Carter and John Clayton. The company is seeking $750 million in treble damages, up from their initial claim of $250 million in actual damages.

The lawsuit stems from alleged fraudulent activities that led to a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction against GNS, preventing the company from raising funds and buying Bitcoin. On May 6, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals granted a stay on the injunction, allowing GNS to resume normal operations. The company is now cooperating with LZGI shareholders in their separate class action and derivative lawsuits against LZGI, Ritz, and Moe.
