Additionally, the firm has enabled its Edtech platform to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as a means of payment.

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%.
