Thumzup Media Explores Dogecoin as Payment Option
Thumzup Media Corporation, a US advertising technology firm, is considering adding Dogecoin (DOGE) as a payment method. The company announced this on October 15, 2025, via a post on X.
Thumzup highlighted Dogecoin’s speed, low fees, and strong community as key reasons for this potential integration. The firm believes DOGE fits well with its reward system.
How Dogecoin Could Enhance Thumzup’s Rewards System
Thumzup allows users to earn cash rewards by sharing social media posts about products. The company aims to reduce reliance on traditional banks and lower transaction costs.
Using Dogecoin could enable near-instant micropayments across borders. Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup, called this integration a crucial step to build a scalable, low-friction rewards platform.
Thumzup’s analysis shows that DOGE could help creators keep more earnings by cutting fees and speeding up payouts. Dogecoin’s design suits frequent, small transactions, matching Thumzup’s pay-per-post model.
Thumzup’s Broader Crypto Strategy and Partnerships
- Thumzup already holds Bitcoin and invests in other cryptocurrencies.
- In early October 2025, it announced a $2.5 million investment in DogeHash Technologies to expand Dogecoin mining.
- The funds will buy over 500 ASIC miners, increasing DogeHash’s fleet to 4,000 rigs by year-end.
- Thumzup plans to acquire DogeHash in an all-stock deal valued at $153.8 million.
- After the acquisition, DogeHash Technologies Holdings will trade on Nasdaq under the symbol XDOG.
The company noted there is no fixed timeline for launching DOGE payments. Implementation depends on technical tests, regulatory approval, and phased pilots.
