Genius Group Limited announced that it has hired DLA Piper to advise on its application for a dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The engagement follows the company’s board approval on August 8, 2025 to pursue a secondary listing in the Asia‑Pacific region, a move intended to broaden shareholder access and enhance liquidity while retaining its primary U.S. listing.
The dual‑listing strategy builds on Genius Group’s prior international listings, including a Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing approved in August 2024 and a Upstream listing in March 2023. By selecting the ASX, the company aims to tap a deep Asia‑Pacific investor base, leverage the market’s streamlined dual‑listing framework, and benefit from the ability to trade economic interests through CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) without direct share registration in Australia.
DLA Piper will prepare and lodge an In‑Principle Advice Application within 45 days of the announcement, with an expected completion timeline of roughly four months, subject to ASX approval. The firm’s role is to navigate the regulatory requirements and coordinate the technical aspects of the listing, positioning Genius Group to access a broader pool of capital and investors in the region.
CEO Roger James Hamilton emphasized that the move is driven by strong interest from Asia‑based investors and the company’s ambition to become a leader in the public Bitcoin‑treasury space. He noted that the dual listing will support the company’s strategy of expanding its Bitcoin holdings and leveraging its AI‑powered education platform to attract institutional demand in the Asia‑Pacific market.
Financially, Genius Group has faced negative margins and declining revenue growth in recent periods, and its price‑to‑sales ratio remains high relative to peers. The dual‑listing initiative is therefore seen as a liquidity‑enhancing step that could improve capital efficiency and provide a platform for future fundraising, while the company continues to navigate headwinds in its core business segments.
No immediate market reaction has been reported following the announcement, and analysts have not yet issued new guidance or revised expectations based on the dual‑listing development.
