Genius Group among the “first” Bitcoin Treasury firms “legally prevented” from buying BTC: CEO

 “We launched our Bitcoin Treasury in November 2025, and believe we were one of the first Bitcoin Treasury companies on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American,” wrote Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, adding:

“We also believe that subsequent to our announcement, we were one of the only companies legally prevented from buying Bitcoin by a US court.”

Hamilton added that he is “pleased to have regained the right to manage our company’s capital in the way our Board and shareholders see fit,” reiterating the firm’s goal of amassing 1,000 BTC.

Increasingly, more companies are adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset for their corporate strategies. On June 13, video game giant GameStop upsized its private convertible note offering to $2.25 billion, signaling a deeper commitment to its Bitcoin treasury.The financing round comes two weeks after GameStop announced the purchase of 4,710 Bitcoin valued at about $513 million on May 28, making the firm the 11th largest corporate BTC holder, Bitbo data shows.
