Thumzup Media Corporation (TZUP) announced plans to expand its operations into cryptocurrency mining and blockchain investments following a $50 million capital raise, according to a company statement.

The Los Angeles-based company said it will deploy capital into cryptocurrency mining infrastructure and expand its Digital Asset Treasury through targeted accumulation of established cryptocurrencies. The dual approach combines mining operations with diversified digital asset investments.

Thumzup plans to build mining infrastructure focused on energy efficiency and operational scalability. The company stated it is engaging with mining technology providers to accelerate the buildout process.

"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 operates a digital marketing platform that pays users for sharing branded content on social media. Thumzup’s current digital asset treasury includes Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Solana, Ripple, Ether, and USD Coin.

The expansion represents a shift for the advertising technology company into the cryptocurrency mining sector. The company stated the initiative aims to generate new revenue streams and strengthen financial resilience.
