The Singapore-based Genius Group, a growing AI-powered education company for the Bitcoin Ministry of Finance, is hoping to delve deeper into the Asian investor community by pursuing a list of secondary stock exchanges, as South Korea emerges as a major competitor.
In a press release released on August 12th, Genius Group, which has been listed on the NYSE since April 2022, announced that its board has approved plans for a different list in Asia this time.
The company claims the move could lead to additional liquidity, fair prices and 24-hour trading. The main location of the list of genius groups is Korea.
Korea is not the only option for a genius group
“As an AI power education company with Bitcoin's Ministry of Finance, we are attracting interest from Asia-based investors seeking access to the company's stock through regional stock exchanges,” said CEO Roger James Hamilton. “The US saw a boom in Bitcoin finance companies last year, but Asia is still in its early stages of Bitcoin finance companies. The genius group has the opportunity to be the leader in the region.”
While South Korea is at the top of the company's candidate list, the CEO of Genius Group also added that he is 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 a massive draw.
The company is currently reviewing options, and its review process is expected to take two to three months, after which the company will release its final decision and listing timeline.
Korea's position as a fintech and blockchain hub could give an advantage to the genius group, especially given its strict but strict regulatory framework, compared to other Asian jurisdictions.
BTC-led global growth mindset
The latest announcement comes as Genius Group doubles its Bitcoin-first strategy. In June 2025, the company increased its Bitcoin Treasury target from 1,000 BTC to 10,000 BTC. This indicates a positive approach in capital allocation.
By combining US listings with Asian listings, Genius Group aims to span both capital markets across the continent, building their brands in regions with high blockchain adoption. Analysts say the move will open new funding channels and raise the company's profile in one of the world's most encrypted markets.
