Genius Group November 2025 Update Note
Highlights from the report include:
- Broad Insider Buying Underscores Management Confidence Following H1 Results and Strategic Momentum: Genius Group reported a sustained wave of insider buying across its CEO, board members, and executive leadership team, emphasizing internal conviction in the company's strategic direction and long-term value creation. On September 24, 2025, CEO and Founder Roger Hamilton purchased 500,000 shares on the open market at an average price of $0.94, while board members Thomas Power and Suraj Naik, alongside all executives, including CFO Gaurav Dama and Head of Legal and People, Eva Mantziou, acquired an additional 100,110 shares at an average price of $0.93. These insider purchases followed three company-led buybacks of 1,000,000 shares each over the prior three months, further shrinking the public float and aligning management with shareholder interests. The trend of insider accumulation continued into October. On October 20, 2025, the company disclosed that Roger Hamilton purchased an additional 200,000 shares on October 17 at an average price of $0.86, increasing the total number of shares he has acquired on the open market since June 2025 by 17%, bringing his cumulative open-market purchases during this period to 1,350,000 shares. Over 90 percent of Mr. Hamilton's total holdings remain locked or restricted, and newly acquired shares are being transferred via the Direct Registration System (DRS), reinforcing management's preference for book-entry ownership. As of September 23, 2025, 60.3% of the company's issued shares were registered in book entry, supported by rising adoption of DRS among long-term investors and continued insider accumulation. The management emphasized strong progress across the Genius Academy, Genius Resort, and Genius City business models, as well as the expansion of the Bitcoin Treasury and positive momentum in legal cases. We note that the escalating pace of insider buying, ongoing share buybacks, and continued DRS migration signal a high degree of insider alignment and apparent conviction in Genius Group's strategic roadmap.
- Genius Group Engages Award-Winning Inspiral Architects to Lead Design of Genius City Bali: Genius Group announced the appointment of Inspiral Architects to lead the design of Genius City Bali, marking a significant step forward in the development of its flagship learning city model. Inspiral Architects is a globally recognized firm known for organic, nature-driven architecture, with a portfolio that includes the award-winning Luna Beach Club at Nuanu Creative City and the Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat. The company views the Bali project as both a flagship campus and a scalable prototype for the 100 Genius Cities it plans to build worldwide. Inspiral's expertise in integrating architecture with environment, community, and innovation makes them a strategic partner in delivering this vision. The first phase of Genius City comprises three interconnected hubs. The Genius City Learning Hub would feature advanced science and maker labs, music and media studios, virtual reality and 3D immersion facilities, as well as multipurpose classrooms and theaters. The Genius City Living Hub will offer a Bitcoin-based, tokenized 100-room community with cafes, co-working spaces, a members' lounge, rooftop infinity pool, solar-powered waterfall, and biospheres inspired by the Eden Project. The Genius City Student Hub will offer a dedicated youth environment featuring a student village, collaboration lounges, prep pods, a library, a cafe, and a gallery for student showcases. Initial designs and investor launch are scheduled for early 2026, with the Learning, Living, and Student Hubs expected to open in late 2027, positioning Genius City Bali as a cornerstone in Genius Group's long-term education, community, and digital-asset ecosystem strategy.
- Valuation Note: We note that Genius Group is advancing several early-stage, higher-potential initiatives under its broader Genius City model, including the Genius City Bali joint venture with Nuanu and the recent appointment of Inspiral Architects to lead the project's iconic design. These initiatives remain in preliminary development phases with long-dated timelines, evolving capital requirements, and limited near-term financial visibility. Accordingly, we have not incorporated projected revenues or profitability from Genius City or Genius City Bali into our valuation model at this stage. We will continue to monitor key milestones such as architectural progress, regulatory developments, funding structures, pre-sales or partnership traction, and early operating metrics as they emerge. Material progress in the Genius City program may warrant updates to our valuation framework, particularly if the company demonstrates a clearer line-of-sight on commercialization, capital deployment, and long-term earnings contribution.
