Zubiqo Take

“Export controls are no longer just about stopping chips at the border; Washington is now tracing dollars through foreign subsidiaries and taxing compliance failures at more than double the deal size.”

Key Developments & Data

The US Treasury has proposed new regulations to block US investments in artificial intelligence and semiconductors across additional foreign countries. The proposal expands the Outbound Investment Security Program (OISP), driven by a March 2027 statutory deadline established under the COINS Act signed in December 2025. The Treasury demonstrated active enforcement on October 7, 2026, issuing its first OISP civil penalty against Amidi, LLC. Amidi was fined $200,000 for failing to report a $92,478 investment made by its Chinese subsidiary into Noematrix, a robotics and embodied AI firm. The newly added tech sectors under the COINS Act expansion include high-performance computing and hypersonic systems, alongside the original focus on AI, quantum technologies, and chips.

Zubiqo Strategic Assessment

Primary Impact

US venture capital firms, private equity funds, and multinational corporations with overseas subsidiaries investing in AI and hardware startups.

Strategic Shift

The US government is shifting from strictly controlling physical hardware export supply chains to actively restricting and policing outbound capital flows.

The Ripple Effect

Compliance costs for global tech investments will spike, as parent firms must now audit their foreign subsidiaries' minority stakes to avoid strict liability penalties that can easily exceed the actual investment value.
