Thumzup Media is launching large-scale Bitcoin mining operations in the US after raising $50 million.
The company plans to implement a dual strategy, combining mining operations with strategic accumulation of established digital assets.

Thumzup Media Corporation, a company specializing in social media marketing and crypto asset strategies with Donald Trump Jr. as an investor, announced today its plans to establish a large-scale Bitcoin mining infrastructure following a $50 million capital raise.

Thumzup said its entry into the crypto mining sector marks a shift from solely holding established crypto assets to actively building infrastructure. The expanded Digital Asset Strategy will feature Bitcoin mining alongside targeted investments in high-potential blockchain projects.

The company is currently in discussion with mining technology providers to accelerate its infrastructure development.

“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. Our focus is on building durable, revenue-generating assets while positioning the Company as a leader in digital asset mining and treasury management.”

Last month, the Nasdaq-listed company received board approval to augment its crypto portfolio, beyond its existing Bitcoin holdings, by acquiring Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and USD Coin. Thumzup currently holds over $2 million in Bitcoin.
