Shorter, but pretty damn important #GNS update. The #SEC officially approved #NYSE American’s new $0.25 minimum trading-price rule today, BUT the effective date was PUSHED BACK from the originally proposed October 1, 2026 all the way out to July 1, 2027. For GNS, that changes the near term #chessboard considerably. The reverse split scenario that was starting to stare shareholders directly in the face this fall is no longer being driven by this specific October deadline. Instead, the amended effective date gives #GNS roughly nine additional months of runway, and the more you look at what is already moving inside the company, the more important that extra time becomes. This is not simply nine more months to hope something improves. A lot of the #flywheel is already spinning. - #Financials: GNS’s three operating businesses reached operational #profitability in Q4 2025, followed by $2.7 million in net profit from operations in Q1 2026 and $4.3 million in Q2. The August balance sheet update then showed $7.0 million in H1 net profit from operations on 156% year-over-year revenue growth, while net assets increased 57% to $106.6 million, liabilities fell 37% to $25.4 million, and the company reported that all third party debt had been repaid. Those latest H1 and balance sheet figures are unaudited management numbers currently undergoing review, but the broader operating direction is no longer a one quarter story. The trend is already there. The new question now is how far GNS can carry it. - #ASX: This one is further along than simply saying the dual-listing process is moving forward. GNS received initial feedback from ASX on its In-Principle Advice Application, is preparing its response with DLA Piper, remains in active dialogue with the exchange, and has stated that it estimates completing the process and listing on ASX in Q4 2026, subject to ASX review and approval. That target now sits months ahead of the July 1, 2027 $0.25 rule effective date. - #Jewel Bank / #JUSD: GNS owns a 9.9% stake in Jewel Financial and committed $5 million toward getting Jewel’s operations moving. Jewel already holds both a Bermuda banking license and a Class F digital-asset-business license, while JUSD is targeted for H2 2026. That matters because Jewel is not starting from scratch waiting for a regulatory framework to appear. The GENIUS Act is already law, and the additional runway gives that framework time to move deeper into implementation while JUSD and Jewel’s banking operations develop. - #CLARITY Act: This also gives the digital-asset market structure fight considerably more room to breathe. CLARITY is not law yet, and there are still political and procedural hurdles in front of it, but the July 2027 date gives that process time to continue through the 2026 midterms and, if necessary, into the next Congress. When you combine that with the #GENIUS Act already moving toward implementation, the regulatory environment Jewel is being built into could look materially different before this new #NYSE American hard floor ever becomes operative. - #Court cases: Litigation takes time, especially when motions, discovery fights, service issues, appeals and procedural arguments keep extending the calendar. Some GNS related matters could resolve sooner through rulings or settlements, especially if pressure continues building, but the larger cases can take years if the procedural fight continues. We have already watched that longevity play out with #Moe and #Ritz. Whether somebody thinks they should still be dragging nubs behind them at this point is almost beside the point...the courts move on court time. Nine more months gives those cases more room to progress/settle naturally before this specific exchange deadline becomes a capital structure issue again. - #AI and Genius City: This is another area I do not think should be treated like a future idea waiting to begin. GNS has already launched its full Genius OS AI-powered product suite, Student AI and Teacher AI had already scaled to hundreds of thousands of users, and management is positioning the platform as a higher-margin revenue driver. The company also opened the first phase of its $14 million Genius City project in Bali, tying physical locations into the broader AI education ecosystem. On top of that, GNS has begun building an AI treasury with exposure to private AI and technology companies. You can debate valuations, timing and which AI companies ultimately win, but the broader direction of capital and technology is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The cat is out of the bag, and it is not going back in. None of those pieces need July 2027 to magically save them. They are already moving. What the additional runway does is give them more time to compound, mature and begin producing evidence before an October reverse split narrative can interrupt the story. And this last part is my #opinion, not something I can prove. I believe the looming reverse split narrative itself had become another tool helping reinforce what I believe to be manipulated downward price pressure on GNS. When traders believe a company is running directly toward a forced RS, that expectation becomes part of the trade whether the split has actually happened or not. It becomes something shorts can lean on, something longs become nervous about, and something the market begins pricing before the event ever occurs. Removing that immediate October clock takes one of those narratives off the board. That does not mean every listing risk disappeared, and it certainly does not guarantee the stock suddenly runs. NYSE American still retains other listing and discretionary enforcement authority, GNS still has to execute, ASX still requires approval, Jewel still has to launch successfully, legislation still has to make it through Congress, and litigation can always take longer than shareholders want. But the specific reverse split scenario that was staring GNS shareholders in the face because of the proposed October 1st hard floor is no longer being driven by that deadline. When I put everything together...the operating profitability already established across Q4, Q1 and Q2, the stronger balance sheet, Q4 ASX target, Jewel and JUSD, GENIUS Act implementation, potential CLARITY progress, continuing court cases, Genius City, Genius OS and the broader AI strategy...I do not see a company sitting still hoping time saves it. I see a flywheel that is already spinning, and today it was given more runway to build momentum before that specific $0.25 hammer can come down. For GNS, I see this as a CLEAR positive.

$GNS [UPDATE] Understanding the Genius Group and Jewel Bank Agreement Restructuring Genius Group originally agreed to buy a minority stake in Jewel Financial for $11.5 million using a combination of $5.5 million in cash, 15,000,000 newly issued share units valued at $0.40 each, and a loan agreement. However, dispute settlements and strategy shifts led both parties to formally amend this deal through an SEC regulatory filing in October 2026. Under the modified contract terms, Genius Group restructured its financial position to significantly protect its capital while maintaining a strategic partnership. The most practical impact of this amendment is that Genius Group recovered $1.75 million of its original cash investment back onto its balance sheet, effectively reducing its net cash expense for the deal down to $3.75 million. In exchange for the original shares and debt structure, Genius Group shifted its position from holding direct, high-risk company equity into holding a $6.25 million senior secured convertible promissory note in a newly formed entity. This new arrangement provides Genius Group with substantial legal protection and flexible strategic options moving forward. As a senior secured lender, Genius Group now holds a priority claim on the company's assets ahead of lower-tier investors if problems arise. Furthermore, after a 9-month waiting period, Genius Group retains the right to either demand a full cash repayment of the loan plus interest or convert the debt balance back into equity shares if the digital bank performs well. In short, the 15,000,000 shares originally issued as part of the $11.5 million transaction were re-evaluated and converted out of a direct, pure equity risk position. By replacing that equity consideration with a $6.25 million senior secured note and reclaiming $1.75 million in cash, Genius Group replaced speculative stock dilution with asset-backed debt and cash liquidity while retaining future upside options.

I appreciate the sourcing links, and push @Digglemydirk, productive community debate is a win for everyone... Those releases are from September 2025 though brotha, over a year ago. GNS did report 60.3% in book entry then. The issue is carrying that percentage forward without incorporating the subsequent share movements and disclosures. The August 13th, 2026 update reports 72.7 million shares held with VStock. Against management’s stated 173.4 million share population, that calculates to approximately 41.93%, or roughly 42%. That is a later disclosed checkpoint, not a certified live percentage today. Here’s that update... ir.geniusgroup.net/news-even… Management also explained that its adjusted population accounts for cancellations and locked shares pending cancellation, including ERL and LZGI holdings. Those treatments need to be reconciled before subtracting the same blocks again. I understand the mistake here because I made it myself earlier in the year, before working through the 72.7 million figure and management’s updated stated share population. Keeping the same holders and holdings does not keep their percentage unchanged when the denominator changes. DRS remains a major part of my thesis. WhyDRS lists GNS first among the companies displayed on its percentage leaderboard, although that page uses older figures and does not establish a current ranking across every public company. The shareholder participation matters regardless of the ranking. The earlier Bitcoin loyalty program, the later cash loyalty round, and shareholders’ willingness to continue directly registering and holding shares can encourage sustained participation. If those holdings grow while completed company actions produce a net reduction in outstanding shares, the registered percentage could gradually increase. That is an outcome I believe is highly possible. The direction depends on both sides. Issuance can offset cancellations, and cancelling shares already held at the transfer agent can reduce both the numerator and denominator. Direct registration can also reduce exposure to broker lending without making shares permanently unsellable. With respect, I’ve spent considerable time working through this. I have a 70ish page investigation coming out shortly covering the financial results, capital structure, Jewel, AI and Bitcoin treasuries, and legal proceedings through October 21st. It includes 23 exhibits, linked sources, and appendices documenting the calculations and remaining reconciliation questions. I hope to see you there. I share the conviction behind shareholder DRS participation. What I cannot support is treating September 2025’s 60.3% as today’s DRS anchor or using it to certify a 64.57 million tradable float. GNS's thesis only gets stronger when we connect the dates and populations factually, and count each completed share reduction only once.

$GNS [SEC 6-K] This 6-K document is an official disclosure filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by Genius Group. The report notifies investors about a major restructuring of a past $11.5 million investment deal with Jewel Investments LLC. The new agreement resolves recent legal disputes between the two parties without either side admitting fault, allowing Genius Group to secure more favorable financial terms and clear up legal risk. Genius Group gains several direct benefits from this deal. First, the company gets an immediate cash recovery because Jewel Investments must refund $1.75 million back to Genius Group. Second, the deal replaces the old $2 million loan note with a significantly higher-value $6.25 million secured loan note issued by a new entity called NewCo. This new note earns interest, provides Genius Group with collateral protection, and gives them the future flexibility to either convert the debt into ownership in NewCo after nine months or receive a full cash repayment. Finally, the agreement completely releases Genius Group from all prior legal claims related to the original deal once the closing process is complete, removing potential litigation liabilities. The transaction is expected to close within approximately 30 days, though Genius Group reminds investors that NewCo is a startup with no operating history, meaning the ultimate value of the new loan or equity will depend on NewCo’s future financial performance. 🚨 KEY TAKEAWAYS 💰 $1.75M cash expected back! 💎 $6.25M convertible note! ✅ Jewel dispute moving toward resolution! 📈 Revenue surging, operations turning profitable! 🌟 Onward and Upward!

$GNS [UPDATE] FL RICO Civil Case Genius Group Limited v Peter Ritz, Michael Moe, John Clayton and Michael Carter This document is a formal legal response filed in federal court by Michael Carter, one of the co-defendants named in the racketeering and fraud lawsuit brought by Genius Group . Like the other defendants, Carter responds to the accusations in the plaintiff's First Amended Complaint under federal RICO laws and Florida state laws, which allege a predatory scheme involving a public shell company called LZGI to take over businesses, deceive investors, strip assets, and misappropriate funds. In his legal answer, Carter uses a specific legal defense strategy where he denies or declines to answer most of the allegations in the lawsuit. For the vast majority of the complaint paragraphs that focus on the actions of his co-defendants such as Peter Ritz, Michael Moe, or John Clayton, Carter states that he lacks enough information or knowledge to know if those claims are true because they do not directly involve him, and therefore he denies them. He also notes that various corporate agreements, contracts, and SEC filings mentioned by the plaintiff "speak for themselves" and denies any mischaracterizations of those documents. Carter does, however, address and clarify specific allegations regarding his own background and business connections. He denies being a majority shareholder of an entity called RC-1, Inc. or being related to a firm called FinTekk AP, LLC, though he acknowledges owning a minority interest in RC-1 through another company he helped finance and start called HI Solutions. Furthermore, while Carter admits that he introduced Peter Ritz to several individuals who might be interested in helping Ritz raise funding for LZGI, he flatly denies making any false statements, misrepresentations, or participating in any fraudulent scheme. He also acknowledges that an entity called St. Michaels Ventures, LLC is a shareholder of LZGI, but disputes the plaintiff's characterization that it is a "major" shareholder, ultimately maintaining that he engaged in no wrongdoing and that the lawsuit lacks merit.

$GNS [UPDATE] FL RICO Civil Case Genius Group Limited v Peter Ritz, Michael Moe, John Clayton and Michael Carter This document is a formal legal response filed in federal court by Michael Moe, one of the co-defendants named in the racketeering and fraud lawsuit brought by Genius Group. Just like Peter Ritz's answer, Moe’s document responds directly to the accusations made in the plaintiff's First Amended Complaint under federal RICO laws and Florida state laws. The lawsuit accuses Moe, Ritz, and others of orchestrating a predatory scheme using a public shell company called LZGI to take over businesses, deceive investors, strip assets, cut off employee and supplier payments, and divert company revenues for personal enrichment. In his legal answer, Moe denies virtually all allegations of wrongdoing, fraud, and illegal financial misconduct. He admits only basic background details, such as his own residential address, his role as a defendant, the existence of court jurisdiction, the fact that LZGI was a Florida corporation, and certain details about signed purchase contracts and corporate investments. For instance, he acknowledges that LZGI received millions of dollars from outside investors and that LZGI entered into asset purchase agreements to acquire companies like Intellagents, LLC. However, he completely rejects the assertion that these business deals were part of a fraudulent scheme. Moe goes into significant detail denying the core allegations regarding how companies were operated and acquired. He states he has no knowledge of co-defendant John Clayton using hidden nominee entities, fake board members, or secret stock manipulations to run LZGI behind the scenes, though he denies that Clayton exercised improper control over management or board resolutions. Moe also denies that he or Ritz exercised absolute control over FatBrain or that they secretly dismantled its operations, hid financial records from employees like Shawn Carey and Rajarshi Das, or made false statements to the public and the SEC to secure millions in investor funding. Regarding the broader acquisition model targeting businesses like Intellagents, Moe strongly denies all claims that he and Ritz used false promises of growth, marketing support, and technology integration to trick company owners into selling. He denies that they stopped paying employee salaries and vendor bills, blocked founders from accessing financial records, or looted over a million dollars in Intellagents revenue to line their own pockets and fund other corporate takeovers. Ultimately, Moe maintains that the entire lawsuit has no legal merit whatsoever.

$GNS [UPDATE] FL RICO Civil Case Genius Group Limited v Peter Ritz, Michael Moe, John Clayton and Michael Carter This document is a formal legal response filed in federal court by Peter Ritz, one of four defendants sued by Genius Group Limited. Genius Group claims that Ritz and his co-defendants, Michael Moe, John Clayton, and Michael Carter, operated a predatory racketeering scheme under federal RICO laws. According to the lawsuit, the group used a public shell company called LZGI to acquire tech and software businesses through false promises, strip their assets, stop paying employees and suppliers, hide financial records, and divert millions of dollars into their own personal bank accounts. In his legal answer, Ritz denies virtually all allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, and illegal financial misconduct. He admits only basic procedural and background facts, such as court jurisdiction, residential addresses, and the existence of specific corporate entities and signed acquisition contracts. He acknowledges that LZGI acquired assets from an artificial intelligence firm called FatBrain as well as an insurance platform called Intellagents, LLC, and he confirms that LZGI received millions of dollars from outside investors. However, he rejects the idea that these deals were part of a scheme to deceive investors or loot companies. Specifically regarding the shell company LZGI, Ritz states he has no knowledge of co-defendant John Clayton using secret nominee entities or fake board members to illegally control stock or company operations. While Ritz admits Clayton occasionally provided funding to LZGI and owned stock, he denies that Clayton covertly ran the company or dictated its business decisions. Ritz also strongly defends his actions surrounding the individual business acquisitions. He denies hiding financial records from former business owners, ousting key executives, or making false statements to the public and the SEC. Furthermore, he rejects accusations that he stopped paying worker salaries and vendor bills, systematically dismantled FatBrain's operations, or stole over a million dollars in Intellagents revenue to line his own pockets and fund other company takeovers. Overall, Ritz maintains that all claims against him are completely without merit.
