Singapore-based Genius Group Announces Plan To Buy $827 Million Bitcoin After Selling Its Entire Stack

Genius Group Limited (GNS), the Singapore-headquartered AI-powered education company, announced a $1.2 billion five-year capital plan on August 27, 2026, to fund dual treasuries targeting $800 million in AI assets and $827 million in Bitcoin, with a goal of $2 billion in total assets by FY2031.

The company intends to use its existing $1.2 billion SEC shelf registration (effective July 18, 2025) to issue perpetual preferred securities (PPS). It says the structure is meant to grow net asset value per ordinary share without diluting common shareholders. An initial $12.5 million PPS raise is planned, with proceeds split among the AI treasury, Bitcoin treasury, and a U.S. dollar reserve covering roughly 18 months of preferred dividends. Final terms remain subject to board approval, securities laws, and market conditions.

Genius Group currently reports about $106.6 million in net assets and NAVPS of $0.62. Shares recently traded around $0.18, a price-to-book ratio of about 0.29x versus an education-sector average the company cites at 2.60x. It says it now has no third-party debt.

CEO Roger James Hamilton framed the preferred capital as a way to compound both treasuries: “Every dollar of preferred capital deployed into our Bitcoin and AI Treasury that generates returns above the preferred dividend rate flows directly to our ordinary shareholders’ net asset value.” Models cited in the release project NAVPS of $2.00 to $4.00 over five years if execution holds, using preferred capital, an existing share-buyback mandate, and treasury compounding.

Restart after a full exit

The Bitcoin target is a restart, not a continuation of an existing pile.

Genius Group adopted a Bitcoin treasury in November 2024 and at one point built a position that peaked near 440 BTC in early 2025. After legal and funding constraints, it sold down the stack. In its April 1, 2026 first-quarter results, the company said it had sold the remainder of its Bitcoin treasury and used the proceeds to repay $8.5 million of debt in full, leaving zero Bitcoin on the balance sheet. It added that it would “recommence building its Bitcoin Treasury when it believes market conditions are more favourable.”

Today’s release makes that timeline explicit: purchases are slated to restart in Q4 2026, which the company describes as coinciding with the historic four-year halving-cycle low, with an anticipated uptrend through 2029. Bitcoin was trading in the high-$70,000s around the announcement. An $827 million allocation at those levels would represent a large multi-year accumulation program, not a single purchase.

The company also highlighted look-through gains in its newer AI treasury (authorized May 2026), including exposure via funds to names such as SpaceX, Anthropic, Anduril, and Databricks. That sleeve is sized at up to 40% of total assets to stay inside Investment Company Act constraints; operating businesses and Bitcoin are meant to make up the rest.

What this is — and is not

This is a board-approved capital and treasury plan, not a completed $827 million Bitcoin buy. The first PPS raise is only $12.5 million. Timing, size, dividend rate, and listing of the preferreds are still being negotiated with banks experienced in preferreds and digital-asset treasury financing.

Any securities offering would be made only under separate materials filed with the SEC. The press release is not itself an offer to sell securities.
