Genius Group Limited announced a 50 % expansion of its Genius City and Genius Future School project in Bali, increasing the total footprint to 15,463 sqm and built‑up space to 19,000 sqm. The expansion will add new classrooms, research labs, and a mixed‑use community hub designed to integrate AI‑powered learning with on‑site collaboration spaces.

The company projects year‑three revenue of $19.8 million and a profit of $5.8 million, and it plans to raise $19.7 million through a mix of debt and tokenized real‑world asset financing, pending SEC and GENIUS Act approvals. The financing strategy reflects Genius Group’s broader push to monetize its Bitcoin‑first, AI‑driven education platform while securing capital for rapid scaling.

Despite the ambitious growth targets, Genius Group’s recent financial performance has been weak. Trailing‑twelve‑month revenue stood at $5.75 million, with a three‑year revenue growth rate of –56 % and an operating margin of –424.94 %. Negative margins and declining revenue growth underscore the risk that the expansion may strain cash flow and dilute profitability if the projected demand does not materialize.

CEO Roger James Hamilton emphasized that the Bali campus is part of a strategic vision to blend physical campuses with digital platforms, positioning the company as an AI‑powered, Bitcoin‑first education group. He highlighted the campus’s role in delivering “the ABCs of the Future”—AI, Bitcoin & Blockchain, and Community—while noting that the expansion will support the company’s broader goal of scaling its Genius Academy network and monetizing its content production assets acquired in December 2025.

The expansion offers a potential upside by creating a new revenue stream and expanding the company’s global footprint, but it also introduces headwinds. The company’s current financial fragility, coupled with the need for significant capital outlay and regulatory approvals, could limit its ability to sustain the projected growth. Investors will likely weigh the opportunity to capture a growing AI‑education market against the risk of overextension in a company that has struggled to achieve positive margins in recent years.
