Thumzup Media intensified its Dogecoin strategy with a $2 million token purchase, mining expansion plans, and high-profile advisory appointments amid the upcoming launch of the first U.S. DOGE ETF.
Thumzup Media disclosed purchasing about 7.5 million Dogecoin for $2 million at an average price of $0.2665, marking its first open-market DOGE acquisition. The move follows its plan to acquire Dogehash Technologies, a North American Dogecoin mining operation with 2,500 active Scrypt ASIC rigs and 1,000 additional rigs expected in 2025, totaling 3,500. Pending shareholder approval, Dogehash shareholders will exchange their holdings for 30.7 million Thumzup shares, after which the company will rebrand as Dogehash Technologies Holdings under the ticker XDOG. Thumzup also appointed Jordan Jefferson, CEO and co-founder of DogeOS and head of the MyDoge wallet, and DogeOS executive Alex Hoffman to its Crypto Advisory Board. The announcements come as Dogecoin’s price rose to $0.28, coinciding with the debut of the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF, the first U.S.-listed ETF offering spot DOGE exposure.
