Genius Group has made a big shift in its strategy. In the first quarter of 2026, the company sold all of its remaining Bitcoin to pay off debt, stepping back from its earlier “Bitcoin-first” approach.
Just a few months ago, the company had committed to holding at least 90% of its reserves in Bitcoin. But now, it has completely exited its holdings—for now. The company says this move is about timing, not a permanent change, and it plans to start building its Bitcoin reserves again when market conditions improve.
At the end of March 2026, Genius Group held 84 BTC, worth about $5.7 million. That number had already been dropping over the past year, especially after a U.S. court temporarily blocked its treasury expansion in 2025. Although the company resumed buying Bitcoin later, this latest move brings its balance down to zero.
Financially, though, the company is doing much better. Revenue jumped to $3.3 million, up 171% compared to last year. Even more impressive, it turned a previous loss into a $2.7 million net profit.
And Genius Group isn’t alone. Other companies are also adjusting their crypto strategies.
For example, MARA Holdings sold over 15,000 BTC in March, raising around $1.1 billion. Most of that money went toward paying off debt. Meanwhile, Bitdeer sold all of its Bitcoin holdings as well, and Cango Inc. reduced its exposure by selling thousands of BTC. GD Culture Group also approved selling part of its reserves.
In simple terms, many companies are hitting pause on aggressive crypto strategies. Instead of holding Bitcoin long-term, they’re focusing on cash flow, debt reduction, and financial stability.
The takeaway is clear: even strong believers in Bitcoin are willing to step back when the financial pressure builds. For now, survival and stability are taking priority over long-term crypto bets.
