"$LCLP put 250,000 shares in this at .04. Let's see where she goes," one Stocktwits user commented.

Several users on Twitter commented on how Belfrics Group said it is valued at $400 million and is aspiring for a $10 billion valuation by 2023.

Life Clips also created a new website Wednesday that describes the company as a distributor of single-use and cordless batteries for cellular phones. Life Clips said it is also the parent company of Cognitive Apps Software Solutions Inc., an AI-Powered mental health analytics platform.

The company was founded in 2013 and previously developed and manufactured action cameras while also offering one-time use batteries for mobile devices, according to a profile of the company from the Wall Street Journal.
