AFAIK there is no restrictions on US citizens investing in foreign
companies. The only restrictions that I know of deal with the exchange of
crypto technical information (IE a US company can not buy into a foreign
company and then ship their crypto through them.) All crypto sales done by
the foreign company must be developed independently of the US company.
