Genius Group CEO, Directors and Executives buy over 600,000 shares in Genius Group.
SINGAPORE, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE: GNS) ("Genius Group" or the "Company"), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group, today announced that it has received notice that its CEO and Founder, Roger Hamilton, together with various Board Directors and all members of the Executive team, have purchased over 600,000 of the Company's shares at market price.
Mr. Hamilton purchased 500,000 of the Company's shares on September 24, 2025 on the open market, at an average price of $0.94 per share.
In addition to Mr. Hamilton's purchase, two Board Members, Thomas Power and Suraj Naik, together with all members of the Company's Executive team, including Gaurav Dama, the Company's CFO, and Eva Mantziou, the Company's Head of Legal and Head of People, also gave notice that they purchased a combined total of 100,110 shares at an average price of $0.93 per share on September 24, 2025. The Board Members purchased their shares on the open market and the Executives purchased their shares via the Company's employee share option program.
The purchases took place further to the release of the Company's 2025 H1 financial results on September 23, 2025 and the subsequent ending of the Company's blackout period at 8.00am ET on September 24, 2025, clearing the path for Company insiders to purchase shares in the Company.
Yesterday's purchases by Company insiders follows the purchase by Mr. Hamilton of 650,000 shares announced on June 24, 2025, and three subsequent share buybacks of 1,000,000 shares each by the Company over the last three months.
The buybacks, insider purchase of shares and actions of investors choosing to move their shares via the Direct Registration System (DRS) to book entry, has resulted in 60.3% of the Company's issued shares in book entry, with 39.7% remaining at brokers as of September 23, 2025. The Company expects yesterday's purchases to increase the percentage of shares in book entry further, and the Company has received notice from the Board that further insider purchases are also anticipated.
Mr. Hamilton said "I have been consistent over the years in my ongoing financial support and optimism in our Company's future, and I am delighted that yesterday our board members and our entire executive team joined me in buying additional shares in the company at the first opportunity after the release of our financials."
"Since the preliminary injunction that had disabled our business at great cost in the first half of 2025 was stayed in April, we have seen the market capitalization of Genius Group increase over 600% in six months. However I, together with our directors and officers, believe our stock remains undervalued. Our purchases this week are a testament to our combined confidence in the future growth of Genius Group."
"I thank the team, and we remain hard at work delivering on our vision of building the education system of the future, and long term value on behalf of all our shareholders."
