SINGAPORE, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group, today announced that it acquired Lighthouse Studios, a podcast and video production studio for entrepreneurs, creators and influencers based in Singapore, on December 19, 2025 and plans to relaunch the studio as Genius Studios on January 23, 2026.

Lighthouse Studios is a podcast and video production studio for entrepreneurs, creators and influencers based in Bali, Indonesia. The purpose built facility includes a variety of recording studios, co-working space, café and meeting rooms. Genius Group has acquired the company in an asset purchase agreement for an undisclosed amount, which does not reach the Company’s materiality threshold, from Lighthouse Studios’ founder, Monty Hooke.

The acquisition of Lighthouse Studios, which is close to Genius Group’s recently announced Genius City in Bali, is part of Company’s wider plans to grow Genius Academy and Genius School, with AI-powered facilities to bring movie-production quality to educational content.

The studios, to be relaunched as Genius Studios in January 2026, will become the global base for the recording and production of the Company’s AI-powered microcourses, certifications, podcasts and social media content. It will also house a Genius Café hosting courses, events and co-working facilities.

Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said “High quality video production and broadcasting is the future of education. We have been working on centralizing our content production team in Bali, and the acquisition of Lighthouse Studios enables us to achieve this under our profitable Genius Café model.”

“Bali has become a magnet to digital entrepreneurs and influencers, where they can manage their global businesses in a paradise location. Lighthouse Studios has established a reputation as a leading recording studio with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. We plan to build on this reputation with Genius Studios.”

“With our team of educators, media specialists and production crew, our goal is to make Genius Studios the first choice for mentors, thought leaders and influencers to create captivating, viral educational content in the Asia Pacific region.”

Genius Studios will also be the first of a series of AI-powered studios and labs serving Genius School, with access for students seeking education and experience in harnessing the latest AI tools in media production, and will be the production house for the Company’s upcoming docuseries on the creation of Genius City and the Future of Education.
