SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group, today announced that on August 8th, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the pursuit of a dual listing on an Asian exchange to enhance shareholder value and accessibility.
Singapore-based Genius Group has been publicly listed on NYSE American since April 2022, and prior to the IPO the majority of its shareholders were based in Asia and Oceania. The Company believes that a dual listing on an Asian stock exchange would enable shareholders within Asia and Oceania, including Japan, Korea, China, India, South East Asia and Australia to have easier access to invest in the Company.
The Company also believes a dual listing in Asia would benefit its shareholders in North America and Europe, by providing potential additional liquidity, fair price discovery and twenty four hour trading.
Consequently, the Company’s Board have approved the pursuit of a dual listing and directed management to appoint the necessary experts and consultants to assess and identify the most suitable Asian exchange to dual list for the benefit of its shareholders. The Company will ensure that any dual listing will only be consummated if in full compliance with all SEC regulations and requirements and NYSE listing rules.
Genius Group’s CEO, Roger James Hamilton, said “As an AI powered education company with a Bitcoin Treasury, we have received interest from Asia-based investors seeking access to the Company’s shares via a regional stock exchange. Whilst the US has seen a boom in Bitcoin Treasury companies over the last year, Asia is still in the early phase of public Bitcoin Treasury companies. Genius Group has the opportunity of being a leader in the region.”
“Our current investors have already expressed strong interest in a dual listing of the Company in South Korea, and we believe Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan are also strong contenders for an effective dual listing.”
The Company will provide a further update to investors once the most suitable exchange has been identified and approved. The Company’s management anticipates the selection process to take two to three months.
