Note 2 – Reverse Recapitalization

 

On August 18, 2025 (the “Agreement Date”), Thumzup Media Corporation (“Thumzup”), through its wholly owned subsidiary TZUP Merger Sub, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dogehash Technologies Inc. (“DTCX”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, TZUP Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into DTCX, with DTCX surviving as the post-merger entity. In exchange, Thumzup agreed to issue 30.075 million shares of Thumzup common stock as consideration for 100% of the outstanding shares of DTCX as of the Agreement Date.

 

On December 8, 2025, the shareholders of Thumzup approved the merger. The transaction closed on December 15, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), upon completion of all required regulatory filings and the receipt of NASDAQ approval. At the Effective Date, Thumzup issued 13,835,188 shares of common stock and 16,239.812 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock as consideration for the acquisition of all remaining outstanding DTCX common shares.

 

On December 15, 2025, Thumzup and DTCX completed a reverse recapitalization (the “Transaction”). For accounting purposes, the Transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions, with Dogehash Technologies Inc. identified as the accounting acquirer and Thumzup identified as the legal acquirer.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial statements of Dogehash, as Dogehash is considered the continuing reporting entity for accounting purposes. Thumzup’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements only from the Effective Date forward. Thumzup’s historical financial statements are not included for periods prior to the Transaction because such information represents the operations of the legal acquirer, not the accounting acquirer.

 

Because the accounting acquirer, Dogehash, was incorporated in fiscal year 2025 and did not have historical operations, it did not prepare stand-alone financial statements prior to the Transaction, the Company is presenting only current-period information in these consolidated financial statements. No comparative period or prior-year financial information is presented. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include: The assets, liabilities, and operations of Dogehash for the period presented; the assets and liabilities of Thumzup recognized as of the Effective Date, recorded at historical cost, consistent with the accounting requirements of a reverse recapitalization (no goodwill or intangible assets are recognized); and the results of operations of Thumzup from December 15, 2025 through the end of the reporting period.

 

Accordingly, transactions completed by Thumzup are presented for the period from December 15, 2025 through December 31, 2025, while the results for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the accounting acquirer’s operations

 

All share and per-share amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the equity structure of Thumzup, the legal acquirer and surviving publicly traded entity, in accordance with reverse recapitalization accounting.
