The investment comes ahead of Thumzup’s pending acquisition of DogeHash. In August, the company shared plans to buy DogeHash in an all-stock deal valued at about $153.8 million. Once completed, the combined firm will be renamed as DogeHash Technologies Holdings and listed on Nasdaq under the ticker XDOG.
