Thumzup Media to Integrate Dogecoin as Payment Option on App

Thumzup Media Corporation, a US-based advertising technology firm and digital asset accumulator, has said that it is looking into adding Dogecoin (DOGE) as a payment option on its official application.

In an announcement in a post on X, the firm said that it is actively exploring Dogecoin as an alternative payment option for its users. “Dogecoin’s speed, low fees, and community appeal make it a natural fit for Thumzup’s reward ecosystem,” the firm said. 

The company emphasized in the official release that adding Dogecoin could make its reward system stronger, make payments easier, and speed up the global growth of its creator monetization model. 

Thumzup’s business model and DOGE’s potential inclusion

Thumzup lets people earn cash rewards right now for sharing real social media posts about products that advertisers are selling. The company wants to avoid traditional banking systems, lower the costs of middlemen, and make it possible to make micropayments almost instantly across borders by using DOGE. 

“Exploring Dogecoin integration is an important next step in our journey to create a scalable, low-friction rewards engine,” said Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup, in the official statement. “If successful, this change could improve our unit economics and increase appeal to a broader, crypto-friendly creator base.”

Thumzup’s internal analysis says that using Dogecoin could help creators keep more of their money by lowering transaction fees, speeding up payouts, and bringing in new users from the global crypto community. Dogecoin’s design for frequent, low-value transactions aligns well with Thumzup’s pay-per-post model.

The move is part of Thumzup’s larger digital asset strategy, which already includes holding Bitcoin and being able to invest in other major cryptocurrencies. Earlier this month, it said that it would spend $2.5 million on DogeHash Technologies to grow its Dogecoin mining business. 

The money will be used to buy and set up more than 500 ASIC miners, which could bring DogeHash’s total fleet to more than 4,000 rigs by the end of the year. Thumzup is about to buy DogeHash in an all-stock deal worth about $153.8 million. This investment comes before that. Upon completion, DogeHash Technologies Holdings, the new company, will trade on Nasdaq under the symbol XDOG.

The firm also clarified, though, that there is no set schedule for the rollout. Any use of DOGE payments will depend on successful technical validation, regulatory guidance, and phased pilot testing.
