Thumzup, a NASDAQ-listed social media marketing firm, has filed an amended S-3 registration statement to increase its stock issuance limit from $200 million to $500 million. This move signals a potential shift in strategy, with a portion of the raised capital potentially earmarked for Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition. According to Odaily, the company's board of directors had previously approved a plan to allocate up to 90% of Thumzup's retained earnings towards acquiring Bitcoin. This amended filing provides the financial flexibility needed to execute such a plan on a larger scale. The filing lists several potential uses for the increased capital, including acquisitions and investments, but the mention of BTC suggests a serious consideration of diversifying its assets into cryptocurrency. This strategic move highlights the growing interest in Bitcoin among publicly traded companies as a potential store of value and hedge against inflation. It remains to be seen what percentage of the increased stock issuance will be used for BTC acquisition, but the filing indicates Thumzup's intention to explore opportunities in the cryptocurrency market. ```
