If the claim (or prediction) is a high price for SPR in January, my guess is that it is based off of this fork. Appears to be some mash-up of Bitcoin and Spread with a 1:1 giveaway for every SPR that you own. Forks seem to be the new ICO these days:

This could also explain some of the market action for SPR however Bittrex consistently sees small cap coins pumped in unison. I will leave it to the observer to judge both the validity and quality of the offering.
