In the report, the firm noted that it will initially acquire 1,380 BTC at a current price worth nearly $120 million. This notable acquisition occurred during a period when BTC experienced a small price correction of 5%. Additionally, the firm has enabled its Edtech platform to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as a means of payment.

The Objective of GNS Group for Bitcoin Adoption

Thomas Power Genius Group Director, added “Genius Group is focused on educating students for the exponential technologies of the future. We see Bitcoin as being the primary store of value that will power these exponential technologies.” Power further noted, 

 “We believe with our Bitcoin-first strategy, we will be among the first NYSE American listed companies to fully embrace Microstrategy’s Bitcoin strategy, for the benefit of our shareholders.”

This announcement suggests that the world is beginning to adopt cryptocurrency, indicating a strong bullish sentiment for the long term.

BTC Impressive Recovery

Following this report and the news of the acquisitions, the BTC price recovered impressively after experiencing a decline of more than 5%.

Currently, BTC is trading near $88,700 and has experienced a price surge of over 4.5% in the past 24 hours. During this period, its trading volume increased by 60%, indicating heightened participation from traders and investors amid the recent price decline and BTC adoption news.
