Genius Group Unveils $12 Billion Funding Plan to Build AI and Bitcoin Treasuries

Singapore-based Genius Group has laid out a capital plan designed to fund a dual-treasury strategy for artificial intelligence and Bitcoin, following board approval, according to a Globenewswire release cited by ChainCatcher. The company is targeting $2 billion in total assets by fiscal year 2031. Under the plan, it is aiming for an AI Treasury of $800 million and a Bitcoin Treasury of $827 million. Management said the financing structure is intended to lift net asset value per share (NAVPS) while limiting dilution for common shareholders, primarily through the use of perpetual preferred stock. Genius Group plans to draw on its $1.2 billion shelf registration, which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective on July 18, 2025, to issue publicly registered Perpetual Preferred Securities (PPS) to fund the two treasuries on a value-accretive basis. As an initial step, the company expects to raise $12.5 million via a PPS issuance. The preferred shares are expected to be non-convertible, carry a floating interest rate, and pay dividends monthly. Proceeds are slated for deployment into the AI Treasury, the Bitcoin Treasury, and a U.S. dollar reserve sized to cover roughly 18 months of preferred dividend payments. Genius Group said it has begun discussions with investment banks with experience in preferred securities and digital-asset financing. Final terms and timing have not yet been confirmed.
