The Redomicile Merger
Mega Matrix Corp.
Saving Digital Pte. Ltd., page 1
3.We note your response to prior comment 6. Your statement in your response letter that
you are not currently considering or evaluating any other crypto-related businesses
contradicts your disclosure on page F-8 that you "intend to use SDP to explore other
crypto related business in Singapore." Please revise or advise. In addition, please revise to
describe "[y]our international corporate strategy." In this regard, we note your disclosure
on page 3 that you believe that the Redomicile Merger will allow you to "more closely
align [y]our structure with [y]our international corporate strategy."

4.We note your disclosure on page 1 that on June 5, 2023 you entered into a Network
Security Service Agreement with Vision Ace Limited. Please revise to summarize here the
material terms of your agreement and the network security services you provide, and, in
your Business of the Company section, revise to provide a detailed description of the

States.

15.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 26. Please revise your next amendment
to address the following related to your corrections of errors:
•Label each impacted financial statement "As Restated." In this regard, label your
December 31, 2022 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows "As Restated";
•Label the December 31, 2022 balance sheet presented with your interim financial
statements "As Restated;" and
•Have your auditors dual date their opinion for the error corrections.
16.Your heading on the Index to Financial Statements still references the periods "For the
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022." Please revise your next
amendment to reference the correct interim period.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
General, page F-8
17.We note that you still include the black line separating Predecessor and Successor periods
between two Successor periods in various footnotes, specifically footnotes 12, 13, 14, and

Note 3. Summary of Principal Accounting Policies
Stablecoins, page F-12
18.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 28. Please address the following:
•Tell us whether you have a Circle Mint account with Circle Internet Financial, LLC
(Circle) and can redeem one USDC for one U.S. dollar directly from Circle; and
•Revise your policy statement to indicate how you measure and account for USDC
both initially and subsequently as your statement that you account for USDC as a
financial instrument does not provide this information. In this regard, to the extent
you apply the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25-1, disclose that fact and how
you then measure USDC at acquisition and during each reporting period.
Digital Assets, page F-13
19.We note your response to prior comments 8 and 30. Please address the following:
•You disclose on page 19 that MatrixPort Cactus Custody is your principal market, on
page F-13 that Matrixport Cactus is your principal market, and on page F-43 that
CoinMarketCap is your principal market. Address this inconsistency in your next
amendment by clearly and consistently disclosing your principal market throughout
the document; and
•Tell us the meaning and relevance of Matrixport Cactus as being "selected by the
U.S. government" as disclosed on pages F-13 and F-43. In addition, remove these
references as it is unclear how any such "selection" is relevant to the principal market
determination under ASC 820-10.
20.We note your response to prior comment 29. Please revise your disclosure to specifically
indicate that digital assets awarded through your GameFi and solo-staking business are
noncash operating activities included in your statements of cash flows consistent with
your response.
21.Please revise your disclosure to clarify that you classify your digital assets as current
assets because you reasonably expect to sell or exchange these assets within one year
consistent with your September 8, 2023 response to comment 59 in our May 24, 2023
letter.
Revenue from Solo-Staking Business, page F-15
22.We continue to evaluate your response to comment 31 and may have further comments.
