Insights
Genius Group's pursuit of an Asian dual listing could expand investor base and enhance liquidity while leveraging its Bitcoin Treasury position in Asia.
Genius Group's decision to pursue a dual listing on an Asian exchange represents a strategic move that could benefit both current and potential shareholders. The company's rationale appears threefold: improving accessibility for investors in Asia and Oceania, enhancing liquidity across global markets, and establishing regional leadership in the Bitcoin Treasury space.
Historically, the majority of Genius Group's pre-IPO shareholders were based in Asia and Oceania, suggesting there's already established interest in these regions. A dual listing could reconnect the company with this investor base while potentially expanding it further. The twenty-four-hour trading capability mentioned would address time zone challenges that currently limit Asian investor participation.
The company's positioning as an "AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group" is particularly relevant given the varying maturity of Bitcoin Treasury companies across regions. While the US market has seen significant development in this sector, Asian markets represent relatively untapped territory. This creates an opportunity for Genius Group to potentially command a premium valuation in Asian markets where such business models are scarce.
Several exchanges are under consideration, including South Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan. Each presents different regulatory environments, investor bases, and liquidity profiles. The selection process is expected to take 2-3 months, suggesting thoughtful evaluation rather than rushed implementation.
From a governance perspective, the company has emphasized that any dual listing will comply with SEC regulations and NYSE listing rules, addressing potential regulatory concerns. The appointment of "necessary experts and consultants" indicates a professional approach to this significant corporate development.
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.
