Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) is providing the following update with regards to actions it is taking to strengthen its balance sheet as part of its recently announced Bitcoin treasury plan. On November 13, 2024, the Company allocated the first $10.0 million tranche in cash to commence its Bitcoin accumulation program with immediate effect. The Company reduced its debt by $5.2 million via the early repayment of the remaining principal balance and interest of the promissory note issued to it by Alto Master Opportunity Fund in April 2024, repaying the note 12 months early, and the Company withheld the distribution and voting rights of 7.4 million ordinary shares of the company via a temporary restraining order.
As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2024, the Company received a favorable ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in its petition to issue a Temporary Restraining Order (RTO) enjoining VStock Transfer from transferring the Company’s ordinary shares previously issued by Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) to LZGI as part of the previously disclosed asset acquisition. This amounted to a total of 7.4 million shares of the company which are now under the RTO. In addition to the favorable ruling to Genius set forth above, the Court also ordered that LZGI and its Officers are enjoined from participating in any shareholder meeting and from participating in Genius shareholder voting.
The Company has established a relationship with Coinbase in Singapore as its Bitcoin custodian. As a Singapore registered company, the Company benefits from 0% capital gains tax on its Bitcoin holdings. The Company will continue to take the appropriate actions to strengthen its balance sheet and plans to report its Bitcoin holdings on an ongoing basis.
