**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure**

On September 24, 2025, Thumzup Media Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release with respect to, among other things, its share repurchase program. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as <u>Exhibit 99.1</u> and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

***Share Repurchase Program***

 ****

On September 23, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million of its shares of common stock through December 31, 2026.

This share repurchase program replaces and supersedes the share repurchase program approved by the Company's Board of Directors on February 26, 2025, which had authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 million of its shares of common stock. On September 19, 2025, the Company fully filled its existing $1 million share repurchase authorization. From March 18 to September 19, 2025, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 212,432 shares of common stock for approximately $1 million at a weighted average of $4.71 per share.

Under the new share repurchase program, shares of the Company's common stock may be repurchased by the Company from time to time in open market transactions as permitted under applicable rules and regulations. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend on market conditions, cash reserves, cash flows and the balancing of uses of cash for operations, growth and other considerations as may be considered in the Company's sole discretion. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Thumzup® Announces $10 Million Share Repurchase Program**

*Board of directors approves $10 million share buyback program through December 31, 2026*

 

*Completes initial $1 million share repurchase of its common stock* 

 

*Strengthens Digital Asset Treasury with 19.106 Bitcoins and approximately 7.5 million Dogecoins*

 

Los Angeles, CA – September 24, 2025 - <u>Thumzup Media Corporation</u> ("Thumzup" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TZUP), a digital asset accumulator and advertising industry disruptor, today announced that its board of directors has approved a $10 million share repurchase program through December 31, 2026 which is in addition to its previously announced $1 million share buyback program which was completed in September 2025.

As of September, 19, 2025, Thumzup had repurchased 212,432 shares of its common stock for approximately $1 million at a weighted average price of $4.71 per share.

"Our decision to implement a $10 million share repurchase program reflects confidence in Thumzup's long-term strategy and our commitment to delivering value to shareholders," said Robert Steele, Chief Executive Officer of Thumzup. "We believe our balanced approach, combining strategic accumulation of digital assets with investment in its underlying infrastructure, positions us well for sustained growth."

Thumzup also highlighted progress in its digital asset treasury strategy. The Company currently holds 19.106 Bitcoins and approximately 7.5 million Dogecoins. In addition, as previously announced, it has signed definitive agreements to acquire DogeHash Technologies, Inc. ("DogeHash"), a dogecoin mining operation with 2,500 rigs in place and another 1,000 scheduled for delivery later this year. As previously indicated, the acquisition is subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions.

If completed, the DogeHash acquisition would expand Thumzup's presence in cryptocurrency mining and treasury management.

In parallel with the growth of its AdTech platform, Thumzup's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to strategically expand its treasury strategy to include leading cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Solana, Ripple, Ether, and USD Coin, reinforcing the Company's commitment to financial agility and innovation.
