Founded in 2006 and originally named Ed TechX, it later bought Meten. The company engaged in English language training (ELT) until it changed to bitcoin mining in 2022, changing its name to BTC Digital. The company also changed its stock ticker from the original METX to its current BTCT. The company is headquartered in Shenzhen, China.\n\nMeten\/BTC is one of the many micro-cap companies underwritten by Aegis, which sold the stock to its retail customers. In its March 2024 report, SLCG Economic Consulting described Aegis as one of \u201cthe worst\u201d retail brokerages, and a \u201cFarm-to-Table Securities Fraud Purveyor\u201d that cost its customers $5 billion in losses.\n\nAegis Capital\u2019s underwrote Meten\/BTC. The company allegedly directly harmed individual investors by pushing them into risky and ultimately worthless securities, usually using misleading research and potential price manipulation. The result was catastrophic financial losses for ordinary people, many of whom were not equipped to handle these risks.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blog-Graphics47.png 300w, https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blog-Graphics47-180x120.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Have you purchased shares of a company called BTC Digital, or Metem Ed TechX, as was previously known, on the recommendation of your Aegis broker?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Silver Law Group is a securities law firm that looks after investors\u2019 interests.
