TSX gains after CPI shows US inflation rose 3%
SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American:GNS), currently trading at $0.84 and showing a remarkable 160% surge over the past six months according to InvestingPro data, announced Thursday it will offer a $0.10 per share loyalty payment in Bitcoin to shareholders who maintain their shares in book entry with the company’s transfer agent.
The education company, with a market capitalization of approximately $73 million, has established November 28, 2025, as the record date for the program. Shareholders who keep their shares in book entry for six months until May 28, 2026, will qualify for the payment. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock typically trades with high volatility, making this stability initiative particularly noteworthy.
According to the company, 60.3% of its issued shares were already in book entry as of September 23, with 39.7% remaining at brokers. The initiative aims to increase the percentage of shares held in book entry.
"We have previously encouraged our long-term shareholders to maintain their shares in book entry with our transfer agent, VStock, in order to minimize the risk of their shares being lent to short sellers," said Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group.
Qualifying shareholders will be contacted before the May 2026 qualifying date to provide either a Bitcoin wallet address or bank account details. While Bitcoin is the company’s recommended payment method, cash transfers will also be available.
Shareholders of Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd who are due Genius Group shares as part of an Asset Purchase Agreement are also eligible for the loyalty payment, though the program excludes directors, officers, and employees of the company.
To participate, shareholders must instruct their brokers to transfer shares via the Direct Registration System to VStock Transfer by the November record date.
