Genius Group sponsors CoinDesk Bitcoin Treasury Month and funds a 100 million Satoshis prize to drive audience engagement.

Genius Group acts as Title Sponsor for CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Treasury Theme Month running October 20, 2025 to November 30, 2025, and will award one Bitcoin (100 million Satoshis) as part of a free "Bitcoin Learn & Earn Challenge" that launches on October 27, 2025. The company will feature its Bitcoin education programs and free microcourses on CoinDesk during the campaign, offering a clear marketing vehicle to raise awareness of its course portfolio and membership funnel.

The outcome depends on measurable audience engagement and conversion metrics, which are not disclosed here. Operational risks include the sponsorship delivering limited incremental paid membership or course uptake despite visibility, and regulatory attention around digital assets referenced by the mention of the GENIUS Act passing and the CLARITY Act pending in the Senate, which could affect market context. Watch engagement KPIs and membership conversion rates during and after the campaign, plus any public updates on the October 27, 2025 launch and metrics reported through November 30, 2025.
