The Genius Group has revealed a plan to split any upcoming settlement money even between shareholder dividends and Bitcoin investments.
listed on NYSE American, unveiled this new allocation plan on June 26. It will allocate the money from its ongoing litigation 50/50 between paying out direct dividends to shareholders and buying Bitcoin (BTC) for its corporate treasury.
The company is currently engaged in two high-profile legal actions seeking more than $1 billion in total damages. The first lawsuit, already filed in the Southern District of Florida under the RICO Act, demands upwards of $750 million over alleged misconduct by former executives and partners. The second, soon to be submitted, addresses accusations of naked short selling and spoofing—with preliminary damage estimates exceeding $260 million, a figure expected to grow based on 2024–2025 market data.
If the cases result in a positive outcome, Genius Group will allocate 50% of the net proceeds—after taxes and legal costs—to shareholders as a one-time dividend. The remaining half will be used to acquire Bitcoin as part of its expanding treasury strategy.
” cases aim to reclaim losses inflicted directly upon our shareholders, the Board is committed to ensuring that all resulting proceeds are either distributed or strategically reinvested in their favor,” CEO Roger Hamilton stated in a public statement.
The company’s previous actions in the cryptocurrency field are strengthened by this decision. Genius Group boosted its Bitcoin reserves by 52% in the last month alone after a US court removed limits on cryptocurrency buys. It added 34 BTC to reach a total of 100 BTC in its treasury, acquired at an average rate of $100,600 per coin—totaling approximately $10.06 million. CEO Hamilton said that the company’s objective is to amass 1,000 Bitcoin.
