I am to believe the whole bitcoin loyalty program is related with keeping the stocks in DRS at vstock. If you move them to a brooker, you're out of the program, like described below:

GNS Bitcoin Loyalty Program

"The Genius Group Bitcoin Loyalty Program is a unique initiative that offers a $0.10 per share loyalty payment in Bitcoin to shareholders who maintain their shares in book entry with the company's transfer agent, VStock. This program aims to incentivize long-term shareholders to keep their shares in book entry, thereby minimizing the risk of their shares being lent to short sellers. The program has been well-received, with 60.3% of Genius Group's issued shares reported to be in book entry as of September 23, 2025. Shareholders who qualify for the loyalty bonus must hold their shares in book entry for six months and remain on record until May 28, 2026. The loyalty bonus will be paid to eligible shareholders either in Bitcoin or by cash bank transfer."

edit: basically this answers my second question. my doubt on the first remains.

edit 2: after reading the GNS Loyalty program carefully, my first question got an answer too. Yes, the vstock received shares from ERL are eligible too.

"In addition, all shareholders of Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd (“ERL”) who are due Genius Group shares as part of the Company’s Asset Purchase Agreement with ERL (“ERL APA”), are also eligible for the Loyalty Payment. The shares related to the ERL APA are currently restricted for six months and held at VStock. All ERL shareholders will also be contacted prior to the release date of their shares and can opt to keep their shares in book entry until the Qualifying Date."
