Genius Group Plans Billion-Dollar Lawsuit Payouts and Major Bitcoin Treasury Expansion
2025/06/30 08:00Artificial intelligence-driven edtech company Genius Group plans to distribute potential winnings from two billion-dollar lawsuits directly to its shareholders while also strengthening its Bitcoin holdings
In a press release on Thursday, June 26, the company announced that its board of directors had approved a distribution strategy for any funds secured from the lawsuits, which collectively seek over $1 billion in damages.
50% of legal wins go to $GNS shareholders as special dividend, 50% to $BTC Bitcoin Treasury. No guarantee how much we recover, but in a utopian alternate universe where justice prevails $1B damages = $7/share dividend + 5,000 $BTC .

One of the lawsuits, filed under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, targets LZGI International with claims exceeding $750 million. A second lawsuit is expected to be filed soon, according to Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group.
Hamilton noted that based on 2023 data, the company anticipates at least $262 million in potential claims, with that figure likely to increase once 2024 and 2025 damages are included. He emphasised that the legal actions are aimed at recovering losses suffered by shareholders.
“The Board believes that 100% of any proceeds from the successful outcome of these cases should be directly distributed or reinvested for the benefit of shareholders,”
Hamilton stated.
Under the approved plan, 50% of any lawsuit winnings will be distributed as a special dividend, while the remaining 50% will be used to expand Genius Group’s Bitcoin treasury. Should the company win both legal battles, shareholders are set to receive dividends of $7 per share, and the firm will purchase approximately 5,000 BTC based on current prices of around $107,000 per Bitcoin.
Genius Group confirmed that future lawsuit payouts will follow the same distribution model but cautioned there is no certainty of success or payouts from either case.
Earlier this month, on June 17, the company boosted its corporate Bitcoin treasury by over 50% through a series of acquisitions as it works towards its goal of holding 1,000 BTC. This comes after a temporary ban prohibiting Genius Group from selling shares or using investor funds to buy Bitcoin was lifted following a month-long restriction.
