Genius Terminal Plans to Buy and Burn GENIUS Tokens Using App Revenue
Key Facts
The Genius Terminal account said in a post dated October 31 that part of Genius App revenue would be allocated to buying GENIUS tokens on the market and permanently burning them. The post presents the mechanism as a plan and does not establish that the company has begun an active program. The available source is a TradingView page that republished CoinMarketCal content, not a press release from Genius Group. The announcement did not appear among the press releases published on the company’s investor relations page as of November 1, 2026. The proposal therefore remains attributed to Genius Terminal, without independent official confirmation from the group.
The proposal links app revenue to demand for the token, with the allocated portion of revenue going toward buying GENIUS on the market and then removing it from circulation through a burn. But the post did not specify the percentage of revenue that would be set aside to fund purchases. It also did not state the number of tokens to be burned or the program’s size. The text provides no timeline for the start of implementation or frequency of purchases. Without these details, it is not possible to estimate the demand the mechanism might generate or how much it would reduce circulating supply.
On the company’s results, its third-quarter report showed net operating profit of $235,000, compared with a net operating loss of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. Genius Group said the results reflected the performance of its Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts units. It said the figures do not include gains or losses from the central treasury. It also excluded financing, investment, legal and central administration costs, according to the results statement. This context presents the company’s operating activity separately from its treasury results, while the token post does not explain how revenue that might fund purchases would be calculated.
In the same results statement, founder and CEO Roger James Hamilton said the group aims to expand its Genius City model globally toward 100 cities. The company had announced on October 6 that it was resuming Bitcoin treasury purchases, saying it bought 10 Bitcoin for about $854,000 between October 2 and 5. The reported average purchase price was $85,364 per Bitcoin. These steps provide background on the group’s efforts to expand its business and manage its assets, but they do not establish a financial link between Bitcoin purchases and the plan to buy GENIUS tokens. According to the Genius Terminal post, the proposed mechanism would be funded by app revenue.
Genius Group shares, listed under the ticker GNS, closed at $0.1202 in the October 30 session, according to EL7 data. Investing.com data show the stock fell 6.53% in the same session. Trading took place before Genius Terminal published its post on October 31, so the move does not represent a reaction to news of the plan. The EL7 data provided contain no further details on the closing price or daily trading range. The Genius Future Summit will be held on November 5 and 6, 2026, at the Genius City site in Nuanu, Bali, according to the company’s announcement; the post did not say whether the group would present further details there about the proposed token buyback and burn.
