新加坡AI Company Genius Group禁止扩大比特币储量

该公司于4月3日宣布，纽约地方法院于3月13日发布了初步禁令（PI）和临时限制令（TRO），限制了其出售股票，筹集资金或使用投资者资金购买其他比特币。

Singapore-based artificial intelligence company Genius Group has been temporarily barred by a U.S. court from expanding its Bitcoin reserves.

总部位于新加坡的人工智能公司Genius Group暂时禁止美国法院扩大其比特币储备。

The company announced on April 3 that a New York District Court issued a preliminary injunction (PI) and temporary restraining order (TRO) on March 13, restricting Genius Group from selling shares, raising capital, or using investor funds to purchase additional Bitcoin.

该公司于4月3日宣布，纽约地方法院于3月13日发布了初步禁令（PI）和临时限制令（TRO），限制了Genius集团出售股票，筹集资金或使用投资者资金购买其他比特币。

The ruling, linked to a merger and purchase agreement finalized by the two firms in March 2024, comes amid an ongoing legal dispute between Genius Group and Fatbrain AI.

该裁决与2024年3月两家公司最终确定的合并和采购协议有关，这是在Genius Group与Fatbrain AI之间的持续法律纠纷中提出的。

After merging in a deal valued at $86 million, the two firms planned to integrate their operations and streamline administrative tasks. However, both parties encountered difficulties, leading Genius Group to seek arbitration to terminate the merger by October 30.

在合并价值8600万美元的交易之后，两家公司计划整合其运营并简化行政任务。但是，双方都遇到困难，导致天才集团在10月30日之前寻求仲裁以终止合并。

In its request, Genius Group alleged fraudulent conduct by Fatbrain AI executives.

天才集团应其要求指控Fatbrain AI高管的欺诈行为。

Later, in February, two executives from Fatbrain AI — Michael Moe and Peter Ritz — applied for the TRO and injunction, aiming to freeze Genius Group’s actions until the arbitration is concluded.

后来，2月，来自Fatbrain AI的两名高管（Michael Moe和Peter Ritz）申请了TRO和禁令，旨在冻结Genius Group的行动，直到结束仲裁为止。

The restrictions imposed on the company include limitations on selling shares or raising capital, directly impacting the company's ability to expand its treasury and conduct routine corporate activities.

对公司施加的限制包括销售股票或筹集资金的限制，直接影响公司扩大其财政部并进行常规公司活动的能力。

The TRO and PI also prevent Genius Group from using investor funds to buy more Bitcoin, an initiative that the company’s board and shareholders had approved.

TRO和PI还防止Genius Group使用投资者资金购买更多比特币，这是该公司董事会和股东已批准的一项倡议。

"Genius is taking all necessary measures to minimize Bitcoin sales and adjust its operations in response to the court's order. The company may need to further downsize its treasury in the coming months as it continues to adapt to the evolving legal situation," the statement concluded.

声明总结说：“天才正在采取所有必要的措施，以最大程度地减少比特币销售并根据法院的命令调整其运营。该公司可能需要在未来几个月内继续适应不断发展的法律局势，因此可能需要进一步缩小其财政部的规模。”

The legal conflict has also led to further lawsuits. In April 2024, shareholders of Fatbrain AI filed two lawsuits against both Genius Group and Fatbrain executives, accusing them of violating federal securities laws. However, Genius Group was voluntarily dismissed from these suits in February.

法律冲突也导致了进一步的诉讼。 2024年4月，Fatbrain AI的股东对Genius Group和Fatbrain高管提起了两项诉讼，指控他们违反了联邦证券法。但是，天才集团在2月被自愿驳回这些诉讼。

In a surprising turn, Genius claims the U.S. court order is causing it to breach Singaporean law by preventing it from issuing shares promised to employees as part of compensation agreements.

Genius声称，令人惊讶的是，美国法院的命令正在使其违反新加坡法律，以防止其作为薪酬协议的一部分向雇员发行承诺的股票。

"We never dreamed that it was possible that a U.S. court could block the company from being able to issue shares, raise funds or buy Bitcoin — all actions that would normally be decided by a public company's shareholders or Board rather than a court."

“我们从来没有梦想过，美国法院有可能阻止该公司发行股票，筹集资金或购买比特币，这通常由上市公司的股东或董事会而不是法院决定。”

Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains optimistic about the company's Bitcoin strategy.

尽管遭受了挫折，但汉密尔顿仍然对公司的比特币战略保持乐观。

"We will continue to fly the flag for Bitcoin and adjust our operations to comply with the court's decision. We are committed to adapting to these challenges and emerging stronger from them," he added.

他补充说：“我们将继续悬挂比特币的旗帜，并调整我们的行动以遵守法院的裁决。我们致力于适应这些挑战，并从中更强大。”

Genius Group first began building its Bitcoin treasury in November 2024, kicking off the year with a purchase of 110 BTC for $10 million.

Genius Group于2024年11月首次开始建造其比特币财政部，并以1000万美元的价格购买了110 BTC。

The company has publicly committed to holding 90% or more of its reserves in Bitcoin, aiming for a treasury of $120 million. This strategy once sent its stock soaring by 66%.

该公司已公开承诺在比特币中持有90％或更多的储量，旨在拥有1.2亿美元的库存。该策略曾经将其股票飙升66％。

However, shares have since plummeted, closing down nearly 10% on Wednesday to $0.23 and falling further after hours. From a peak of over $96 in June 2022, the stock has now lost more than 99% of its value.

但是，此后股票暴跌，周三关闭了近10％，至0.23美元，并在下班后进一步下跌。从2022年6月的96美元的高峰期，该股票现在损失了其价值的99％以上。
