Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
LOS ANGELES - Thumzup Media Corporation (NASDAQ:TZUP), a $165 million market cap company whose stock has surged nearly 198% year-to-date according to InvestingPro data, announced Wednesday it will expand its digital asset strategy to include cryptocurrency mining and blockchain investments following a recently completed $50 million capital raise.
The company said it plans to deploy capital into cryptocurrency mining infrastructure, focusing on energy efficiency and operational scalability. Simultaneously, Thumzup will expand its Digital Asset Treasury through targeted accumulation of established cryptocurrencies. The company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 3.36, though InvestingPro analysis indicates an overall weak financial health score.
"This is a transformative step in Thumzup’s evolution," said Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup Media Corporation. "With a strengthened capital base and a clear strategic vision, we are expanding our reach into high-growth areas of the digital economy."
The company stated it is actively engaging with mining technology providers to accelerate infrastructure buildout. This dual approach of mining and digital asset investments aims to generate new revenue streams, according to the press release.
Thumzup, which operates a platform that pays users for sharing branded content on social media, has previously expanded its treasury strategy to include various cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, such as Dogecoin, Litecoin, Solana, Ripple, Ether, and USD Coin.
The company cited the United States’ emergence as a digital asset hub as part of its strategic rationale for the expansion.
The announcement represents a significant pivot for the advertising technology company as it increases its focus on digital assets. While the stock has experienced significant volatility, dropping 24% in the past week, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value.
