• SEC- and FINRA-Registered Broker-DealerminorOthers · 16 July 2025According to a July 2025 news report, BSGM announced plans to acquire a SEC- and FINRA-registered broker-dealer to offer gold-backed tokenized assets to US investors. This appears to be a strategic diversification move as companies across crypto-native and traditional finance sectors compete to secure US digital asset licenses. Note: This acquisition is in a different business domain (digital assets/cryptocurrency) than BSGM's core building surveying services.
