GeniusGroup Adopts Bitcoin Treasury Reserve Strategy
SINGAPORE,November 12, 2024 - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered education and acceleration group, today announced that its Board has adopted a global “Bitcoin-first” strategy with Bitcoin to be the primary treasury reserve asset. The Board’s adoption of this new policy follows the recent restructuring of its Board to include experts in Blockchain and Web3 technologies.
The Company’s Board of Directors have approved the following Bitcoin-first strategy:
| 1. | To<br> commit 90% or more of our current and future reserves to be held in Bitcoin |
|---|---|
| 2. | Commence<br> utilizing our $150 million ATM^1^to acquire an initial target of $120 million in<br> Bitcoin, to be held for the long term as its primary treasury reserve asset |
| 3. | Launch<br> our Web3 Wealth Renaissance education series for students to accelerate their understanding<br> of Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain with Genius Group’s AI-powered guides. |
| 4. | Enable<br> Bitcoin payments globally on the Company’s Edtech platform. |
Thomas Power, Genius Group Director and previously Board Director at Team Blockchain and the Blockchain Industry Compliance and Regulation Association (BICRA), said “Genius Group is focused on educating students for the exponential technologies of the future. We see Bitcoinas being the primary store of value that will power these exponential technologies. The compelling case that we believe Michael Saylorand Microstrategy have made for public companies to invest in Bitcoin as their primary treasury reserve asset is one that we fully endorse.”
“Webelieve with our Bitcoin-first strategy, we will be among the first NYSE American listed companies to fully embrace Microstrategy’sBitcoin strategy, for the benefit of our shareholders.”
Ian Putter, Genius Group Director and previously Head of Blockchain Domain at Standard Bank and founder of the Blockchain Research Institute Africa, a think tank that collaborated with research institutes across the globe to identify blockchain use-cases relevant to Africa, said “Genius Group has an approved $150 million ATM funding facility, and the Board intends to put our future earnings and capitalraising to good use in building a sizeable reserve in Bitcoin, to strengthen our balance sheet and shareholder returns. Being a Singapore-incorporatedcompany, with 0% capital gains tax , gives us an additional advantage in our Bitcoin-first strategy.”
^1^Availability under the Form F-3 “shelf” is subject to limitations under Instruction 1.B.6. of Form F-3 until the Company reaches a market capitalization of $75 million.
Roger Hamilton, Genius Group’s CEO, said “Genius Group has been in a two-year public battle against market manipulators, inwhich it has seen its share price drop to under $0.60 and its market capitalization drop to $12 million, despite reporting audited annualrevenue in 2023 of $23 million and total assets of $43 million .”
“TheCompany has pending litigation against alleged market manipulators, led by Wes Christian, with alleged damages estimated at over $250million , and we believe every step the Company can make to embrace transparent, decentralized, blockchain-based technologyis an opportunity to reset Genius Group’s share price commensurate with its value.”
“Webelieve a new type of future-focused, AI-driven, blockchain-based public listed companies can bridge the divide for investors betweenthe current, centralized and regulated world of NYSE, NASDAQ and other stock markets with the future promise of decentralized, exponentialeconomies. Genius Group’s unique position of already educating for the future gives us an opportunity to bring a layer of addedvalue through education, where we prepare the next generation for a world in which how they earn and learn are dramatically different.”
Genius Group will be holding a GeniusLIVE podcast featuring Roger Hamilton, Thomas Power and Ian Putter which will go into detail on Genius Group’s AI-powered, Bitcoin-first plan at 9am ET on Tuesday, 19 November 2024. To register, visit https://www.geniusgroup.ai/
