The company name cannot be created or updated in that part of the request body JSON.

"company": {
    "company_name": "string",
    "id": 0
  }

The name here is read-only; it is simply included for your convenience.

But, good news: the REST API will soon have a resource for Companies, separate from Contacts. In the meantime, you can create Companies through the XML-RPC API.

I’m running into this same issue with the new REST API. I add a company, and then add the contact with the associated company ID. Both are created, and in the search results page the correct company is shown, but when looking at the contact detail the company is displayed as “No name” and invoices I create for the customer have a blank company name. After I click save on the company page, the contact and invoices show the name of the company.
