Singapore-based Genius Group, an AI-powered education company with a growing Bitcoin treasury, is looking to tap deeper into Asia’s investor community by pursuing a secondary stock exchange listing, with South Korea emerging as the leading contender.
In a press release published on August 12, Genius Group, which has been listed on the NYSE since April 2022, announced that its board has approved plans for another listing, this time around in Asia.
The company claims the move has the potential to bring in additional liquidity, fair pricing, and 24-hour trading. The leading location for Genius Group’s listing is South Korea.
South Korea is not Genius Group’s only option
“As an AI powered education company with a Bitcoin Treasury, we have received interest from Asia-based investors seeking access to the Company’s shares via a regional stock exchange,” said CEO Roger James Hamilton. “Whilst the US has seen a boom in Bitcoin Treasury companies over the last year, Asia is still in the early phase of public Bitcoin Treasury companies. Genius Group has the opportunity of being a leader in the region.”
While South Korea tops the firm’s shortlist, Genius Group’s CEO also added that they are exploring other markets, including Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan. Hamilton pointed to South Korea’s dynamic retail investor culture, strong capital markets, and openness to blockchain and AI as major draws.
The company is currently reviewing its options, and that review process is expected to take two to three months, after which the firm will announce its final decision and listing timeline.
South Korea’s status as a fintech and blockchain hub could give Genius Group an edge, particularly given its clearer, though strict, regulatory framework compared to other Asian jurisdictions.
A BTC-led global growth mindset
The latest announcement comes as Genius Group doubles down on its Bitcoin-first strategy. In June 2025, the firm increased its Bitcoin treasury goal from 1,000 BTC to 10,000 BTC, which indicates that it’s taking an aggressive approach in its capital allocation, Cryptopolitan reported.
By combining its US listing with an Asian listing, Genius Group aims to connect both capital markets across continents while building its brand in regions with high blockchain adoption. Analysts say the move could open new funding channels and raise the company’s profile in one of the world’s most crypto-forward markets.
