Thumzup Media Corporation (Nasdaq: TZUP), a Nasdaq-listed AdTech company, announced a significant expansion of its digital asset strategy, with its board of directors approving a plan to hold up to $250 million in cryptocurrencies. This bold move builds on the company’s existing Bitcoin holdings, which currently stand at 19.106 BTC, valued at approximately $2.3 million as of July 8, 2025.The newly approved portfolio will diversify Thumzup’s crypto assets to include a range of leading cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), and the stablecoin USDC.
Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup, emphasized that evolving U.S. crypto policies are a key driver behind this decision. He stated that diversifying the company’s portfolio positions Thumzup to strategically capitalize on the rapidly growing digital asset market.
Founded in 2020, the Los Angeles-based firm operates a unique platform that incentivizes users to promote brands on social media, paying them directly for their engagement.
Despite reporting a $2.2 million net loss in Q1 2025, Thumzup’s stock has shown impressive performance year-to-date, surging by 267%. However, it did experience a slight dip of 2.93% to $12.59 on Thursday, according to Yahoo Finance.
This expansion into a broader range of cryptocurrencies follows a recent $6 million private placement of convertible preferred stock, which was arranged by Dominari Securities. Notably, Donald Trump Jr., a shareholder holding 350,000 shares valued at approximately $4 million, and his brother Eric Trump serve as advisors to Dominari Securities, further highlighting the growing intersection of traditional finance and the digital asset space.
