- Thumzup plans Dogecoin payouts to simplify creator payments and rewards.
- The move aims to cut transaction costs and speed settlements.
- Integration could attract crypto-friendly creators seeking faster global payments.
Thumzup Media has revealed plans to explore Dogecoin as an alternative payout option for users of its Thumzup app. The project is designed to simplify payments made by creators by shortening bank wait times and lowering transaction expenses for those who use the advertiser’s products.
According to the company’s announcement, adopting Dogecoin could enable faster and borderless transactions while improving overall efficiency. The relocation would allow Thumzup to bypass standard payment systems and execute micro-payments with near-instant settlement.
Chief Executive Officer Robert Steele said that the possible integration was a significant milestone toward creating a scalable and low-friction rewards engine. He also explained that the strategy would enhance the economics of Thumzup and attract an ever-increasing number of crypto-friendly creators.

Growing Crypto Strategy and Treasury Expansion
Thumzup has about 19 BTC and 7.5 million DOGE in its treasury as of September 30. It also offered a loan of $ 2.5 million to DogeHash to support its growth in Dogecoin mining activities. The company launched its crypto treasury earlier this year, investing $1 million in Bitcoin.
Additionally, the Thumzup board endorsed an action to expand the digital assets to include other cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Dogecoin. The growth may also encompass other significant cryptocurrencies, such as Litecoin, Solana, XRP, Ether, and USD Coin.
Thumzup is trying to reduce friction for its creators by allowing them to pay with Dogecoin, which will help increase interaction on its application. The company believes this aligns with its pay-per-post model, facilitating low-cost and quick transactions that cryptocurrency enables.
Thumzup plummets 5.3 percent to $5 at the time of publication, and Dogecoin is down 2.4 percent to $0.20 at the time of publication.
