New Strategic Initiative by Thumzup Media
The publicly traded Thumzup Media Corporation, which is engaged in advertising and social media, has recently decided to expand its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) for investments in mining and blockchain. CEO Robert Steele stated: “This is a transformative step in Thumzup’s evolution. With a strengthened capital base and a clear strategic vision, we are expanding our reach into high-growth areas of the digital economy.”
Donald Trump Jr.'s Investments
President Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., disclosed to Bloomberg his investment in Thumzup, purchasing 350,000 shares valued at around $3.3 million. In the same month, the corporation announced plans to hold up to $250 million in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.
Comparison with Other Trump Family Companies
Thumzup Media currently is the second company associated with the Trump family stockpiling Bitcoin. As of now, it holds 19.11 BTC valued at approximately $2.33 million. In comparison, Trump Media & Technology Group holds 15,000 BTC worth approximately $1.83 billion, positioning them in the 7th place among large Bitcoin holders.
