Trump family-linked Thumzup Media Corporation, an AdTech and cryptocurrency mining firm, has provided DogeHash Technologies, an industrial-scale Dogecoin (DOGE) mining company, with a $2.5 million boost. 

The capital infusion aims to bolster DogeHash’s operations amid rising mining difficulty and optimistic price forecasts for Dogecoin (DOGE).

Thumzup, in which Donald Trump Jr. holds a notable stake, positions this investment as part of a broader pivot toward digital assets. The funds will enable DogeHash to deploy over 500 ASIC miners, increasing its total fleet to more than 4,000 units by year-end. 

This expansion precedes Thumzup’s pending acquisition of DogeHash. Furthermore, the company’s foray into Dogecoin aligns with its new strategy. 

In June, Thumzup’s board approved the evaluation of adding at least six cryptocurrencies to its reserves besides Bitcoin (BTC). This followed a $50 million all-common stock offering designed to strengthen the balance sheet for mining infrastructure growth

“The capital infusion follows several strategic initiatives by Thumzup in recent months, including DOGE treasury purchases, the launch of its Crypto Advisory Board, and the pending acquisition of DogeHash Technologies. Together, these moves reinforce Thumzup’s vision of becoming a transformative leader in cryptocurrency mining and digital asset strategy,” the press release reads.

The timing coincides with heightened competition in Dogecoin mining. According to data from BitInfoCharts, mining difficulty reached an all-time high in September, reflecting increased hash power and miner participation.

Thus, the increased capacity could likely enhance DogeHash’s competitiveness while positioning Thumzup to capitalize on any potential upside if DOGE prices rally in line with bullish analyst forecasts.

Will DOGE Reach $1? 

DOGE, the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, saw notable volatility in September, much like the rest of the market. Despite growing institutional interest, as evidenced by the exchange-traded fund (ETF) developments, the meme coin has yet to reclaim or move closer to its all-time high.

BeInCrypto Markets data showed that at press time, DOGE traded at $0.23, down 68% from its record peak.

Nonetheless, analysts are quite positive about DOGE’s prospects of closing this gap and even going higher. In a post on X, Bitcoinsensus pointed out that the meme coin is closer to breaking out of an ascending triangle pattern. 

This pattern usually indicates bullish continuation, meaning the market is more likely to break upward than downward. If the breakout happens, DOGE could rise to $0.48, according to the analyst.

Another analyst predicted that the meme-inspired cryptocurrency is on the verge of a historic rally, which would make the rise to more than $1 ‘inevitable.’

“The golden bull run is right in front of us. Green candles we’ve never seen,” he wrote.

Furthermore, trader Kamran Asghar suggested that DOGE may be setting up for its ‘next explosive move,’ citing a history of sharp rallies that appear to be increasing in scale.

According to his analysis, Dogecoin previously surged by 300% and then 500% in earlier cycles, and if the structure repeats, the token could be on track for an 800% rally.

“Price bouncing off ascending trendline support. Target = ~$1.30 if pattern repeats again!” Asghar added.

All the forecasts paint an optimistic picture for the meme coin. The coming months will determine whether any of these predictions will actually materialize.
