The company executed this purchase at an average price of $94,047 per bitcoin, advancing ahead of its $120 million target. The investment follows the company’s “Bitcoin-first” strategy announced on November 12, 2023.
To support its cryptocurrency initiatives, GNS has introduced a rights offering that could generate up to $33 million if fully subscribed. Company CEO Roger Hamilton has committed to purchasing 500,000 shares through this offering.

The current wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption represents a significant shift in institutional attitudes toward cryptocurrency.
