The company increased its Bitcoin Treasury by 40%, acquiring 24.5 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 85.5 Bitcoin valued at $8.5 million (average price: $99,700 per Bitcoin).

On May 6, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals granted a stay on the injunction, allowing GNS to resume normal operations.
