Purchases are the next step in the Company’s $1.2 billion dual treasury capital plan targeting $827 million in Bitcoin and $800 million in AI assets by FY2031.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE:GNS) ("Genius Group", "GNS" or the "Company"), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced that it has recommenced its Bitcoin Treasury purchases, acquiring 10 Bitcoin for approximately $854,000 at an average price of $85,364 per BTC between October 2 and October 5, 2026.

The purchases mark a strategic milestone for the Company as it takes the next step in executing its Board-approved $1.2 billion dual treasury capital plan, announced on August 27, 2026. The plan targets $827 million allocated to Bitcoin and $800 million to AI assets, with a goal of reaching $2 billion in total assets by FY2031.

The recommencement of Bitcoin purchases follows the ruling by U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on August 31, 2026, vacating the preliminary injunction that had previously blocked the Company from issuing shares, raising funds, and purchasing Bitcoin.

The Company had previously indicated that it intended to recommence Bitcoin purchases in October 2025, citing the Company’s belief that this coincided with the early stages of Bitcoin’s historic four-year halving-cycle uptrend.

The Company intends to continue accumulating Bitcoin on an ongoing basis as part of its dual treasury strategy, alongside its planned accumulation of AI stocks. To date, the Company has announced look-through interests in OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, SpaceX (held prior to and following its IPO on June 12, 2026) and other Pre-IPO frontier AI companies.

The Company intends to fund purchases for its dual treasury through a balanced mix of operating cash flow, previously-announced plans for the issuance of perpetual preferred securities and prudent use of its At-The-Market Program facility, designed to maximise Net Asset Value Per Share (NAVPS). The Company currently has no plans to fund purchases with debt financing, or to hypothecate any of its Bitcoin or AI stocks held in its dual treasury.

Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said "This week’s purchase of Bitcoin, while modest, is a signal to our shareholders and to the market that we are recommencing our Bitcoin accumulation strategy at what we believe is the early stages of Bitcoin’s next major uptrend."

"We are educating our students on the ‘ABC’s of the future: AI, Blockchain and Community, in which we believe ownership in the future AI-powered digital workforce and Blockchain-based digital economy is a key component to wealth creation in a post-Singularity world. Our dual treasury strategy is our way of leading by example, as we continue to pursue our mission of preparing humanity for a fast changing future."
