Genius Group Achieves 1,649% BTC Yield
Genius Group has adopted BTC Yield as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to evaluate the effectiveness of its Bitcoin Treasury strategy. This approach aims to benefit shareholders and allows the company to compare its performance with other Bitcoin Standard companies.
Remarkably, Genius Group achieved a BTC Yield of 1,649% in Q4 2024, from the first day it purchased Bitcoin in November 2024 to the date of this release on December 30, 2024. The CEO of Genius Group CEO, Roger Hamilton noted-
“It has been less than two months since we launched our Bitcoin Treasury Strategy. We have been buying Bitcoin consistently and are pleased to be ahead of our internal schedule to reach our initial target of 1,000 Bitcoin in our treasury.” “Now, with a focus on BTC Yield KPI, we are considering various investment and finance options that maximize shareholder value whilst accelerating our progress in building our Bitcoin Treasury,” he added.
Notably, the Company has maximized its BTC Yield in Q4 2024 by funding its purchase of Bitcoin to date through a combination of its reserves, its ATM and a $10 million Bitcoin loan it has entered into with crypto-backed loan platform, Arch Lending.
Genius Group CFO, Gaurav Dama said “Whilst we are pleased to be achieving a high BTC Yield, we believe our Bitcoin performance is not yet reflected in our share price. This is indicated by Genius Group having a high BTC / Price ratio of 75%, which we believe is significantly higher than our industry peers.”
Genius Group reported a 177% increase in its net asset value, reaching $54.6 million for the first half of 2024, which is higher than its current market cap of $40.6 million. The company plans to report its Bitcoin Treasury performance alongside its financial results more frequently in 2025 to keep investors informed.
