Genius Stock Surges 30% on $800M AI Plan

Shares of Genius Group (GNS) rocketed more than 30% in pre-market trade Thursday, on track to erase a 34% May decline. This dramatic surge followed the company’s board approving an $800 million Artificial Intelligence treasury strategy, as detailed in its corporate announcement. An initial $100 million will flow into a newly created AGI Infinity Portfolio.

Approximately $20 million of that allocation targets third-party funds holding indirect stakes in SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. This move signals a profound shift for the company, which fully liquidated its Bitcoin holdings in April. That sale of 84 Bitcoin, worth about $5.7 million at the time, was used to retire $8.5 million in liabilities.

Consequently, the firm’s 18-month “Bitcoin-first” treasury strategy has been abandoned. The new AI portfolio will be capped at 40% of Genius Group’s total assets, sitting alongside its operating businesses. Management indicated a potential restart for a Bitcoin treasury could occur in 2027, according to the plans.

Meanwhile, retail trader sentiment on platforms like Stocktwits flipped to ‘extremely bullish’ from bearish. Some users speculated that pre-IPO access to SpaceX shares could become highly valuable, as reported in the community chatter. Other listed funds like the ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) already offer similar pre-IPO exposure.

Genius Group intends to fund this long-term strategy through operating cash flow and an existing $1.2 billion ATM facility. The company currently has a market capitalization of roughly $42 million, having reported Q1 2026 revenue of $3.3 million. This micro-cap trend of seeking private market AI exposure is gaining traction among other vehicles like Destiny Tech100.
