BlockBeats News, June 30th, AI large model company Moonshot AI released a statement stating that there have been multiple recent incidents in the market of false financing and equity trading information using the name "Moonshot AI," and the company has found that some institutions and individuals are suspected of fraud. All its financing activities are solely handled by the company directly. The company has not engaged or authorized any third-party institution as a financial advisor or financing advisor to handle any financing transactions, including new stock transactions and old stock transfer transactions. The company emphasized that the transfer of old shares (including common shares, incentive stock options, etc.) must be approved internally by the company. Any old stock transactions that occur without the company's approval are deemed invalid, and the company will refuse to register any form of claim and reserves the right to take legal action to pursue the transferring party's default liability.
Moonshot AI also stated that the allocation of the company's new stock financing quota is based on the actual receipt of funds as confirmation. The company has not made any advance commitments or locked quotas for any institution or individual, nor will it actively request or authorize any institution to provide asset proof. Any claims of having locked in Moonshot AI investment shares, presenting so-called "company-stamped share assurance" documents, or requesting asset proof in the company's name are considered false or fraudulent, and Moonshot AI will not take any responsibility for such actions.
Public information shows that Moonshot AI was founded in early 2023 and created the AI assistant product Kimi. Its backers include Alibaba, Sequoia Capital, Meituan-Dianping, Tencent Investment, IDG Capital, and GGV Capital, among others. In the first half of 2026, there were multiple reports in the market about Moonshot AI's financing, including completing a $2 billion financing in early May, post-investment valuation surpassing $20 billion, and seeking a new round of $2 billion financing on June 8th with a valuation of $30 billion. The company has not responded to this round of financing inquiries. (Securities Times)
