SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American:GNS) issued a statement Wednesday addressing unusual trading activity in its shares, confirming no undisclosed material developments in its business.

On May 27, the company’s share price rose from $0.24 to a high of $0.52, representing an approximately 116% intra-session increase, with about 60 million shares traded after normal hours. On May 28, shares ranged from $0.25 to $0.36, with approximately 287 million shares traded, about 19,200% higher than the previous five-day average trading volume of 7.82 million shares. The stock currently trades at $0.27, contributing to a one-week return of nearly 17%, according to InvestingPro data. InvestingPro Tips highlight that the stock "generally trades with high price volatility," which helps explain the dramatic price swings.

The company stated it is not aware of any reason for the unusual market activity and is not engaged in any undisclosed transactions involving shareholders, directors, officers or the company itself.

Genius Group referenced recent public disclosures, including a May 27 announcement that its Board of Directors approved an AI Treasury Strategy with plans to invest up to $100 million in what it calls an AGI Infinity Portfolio. The portfolio includes pre-IPO exposure to SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Figure AI, Databricks, Anduril, Replit and Shield AI. The ambitious investment plan is notable given the company’s $52.56 million market capitalization and the fact that shares remain 86% below their 52-week high of $1.92.
