Previously owned by Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier, Le Freeport was also a repository for fine art, precious gems, and gold and silver bars.

The deadline for the deal has been delayed three months from September 14 to December 14, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing from this month.
The company is led by Jihan Wu, who previously co-founded bitcoin mining manufacturer Bitmain. Wu stepped down from the company in early 2021.
