Genius Group Targets $1.6B Treasury Expansion via Preferred Securities

The company plans to launch the initiative with an initial $12.5 million offering of non-convertible preferred securities, which will feature a variable monthly dividend. Proceeds from these sales are earmarked for Bitcoin acquisitions, AI investments, and a U.S. dollar reserve designed to cover 18 months of dividend obligations. CEO Roger James Hamilton stated that this structure allows the firm to fund its treasury goals without diluting ordinary shareholders, provided the returns on these assets exceed the cost of the preferred dividends.

This strategy mirrors the financing approach pioneered by Strategy, which has utilized perpetual preferred stock to scale its corporate Bitcoin holdings. However, the model carries inherent risks; should the underlying assets underperform or fluctuate in value, the company remains obligated to honor the senior dividend payments before any distributions reach ordinary shareholders. Genius Group has already secured significant support from its board and shareholders, who authorized the issuance of preferred shares and buybacks at the annual meeting in July.

Following a period of volatility and debt-related liquidations, the company is preparing to resume Bitcoin accumulation in the fourth quarter of 2026. This follows the establishment of its AI portfolio in May 2026, which currently includes exposure to major industry players such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX. While management projects that net asset value could climb to between $2 and $4 per share over the next five years, these forecasts remain contingent on market conditions and the performance of its digital and technological assets.
