Thumzup board approves $250 million crypto portfolio diversification

LOS ANGELES - Thumzup Media Corporation (NASDAQ:TZUP), whose stock has surged over 250% in the past six months, announced Thursday that its Board of Directors has authorized the company to hold up to $250 million in various cryptocurrencies, expanding beyond its existing Bitcoin holdings.

The approved cryptocurrency portfolio will include Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), and the stablecoin USDC, according to a company press release.

"As the U.S. federal government moves toward more crypto-friendly policies and greater regulatory clarity, Thumzup is committed to remaining at the forefront of this transformative technology," said Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup.

The company, which describes itself as operating at the intersection of crypto asset strategy and AdTech, runs a platform that allows users to earn cash for sharing branded content on social media.

Thumzup is also developing what it calls a "patent-pending Lifestyle AI Agent Marketplace" aimed at lifestyle planning through AI-powered experiences.

The announcement comes amid increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrency investments, though the sector continues to face regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions.

The company did not specify the current value of its cryptocurrency holdings or provide a timeline for implementing the expanded investment strategy.

In line with this strategy, the company’s board has authorized management to expand its cryptocurrency holdings beyond Bitcoin to include Dogecoin, Litecoin, Solana, Ripple, Ether, and USD Coin.

The platform integrates with major social media channels, offering brands enhanced engagement opportunities.
