As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 22, 2025 and November 26, 2025, on August 18, 2025, Datacentrex, Inc. (formerly, Thumzup Media Corporation), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TZUP Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Dogehash Technologies, Inc. (“Dogehash”), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Dogehash (the “Acquisition”).
On December 8, 2025, the Company received stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and on December 15, 2025, Merger Sub and Dogehash filed Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which, effective as of December 15, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into Dogehash with Dogehash surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company issued an aggregate of 13,835,188 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Sock”), and 16,239.812 shares of its newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D”) convertible into an aggregate of 16,329,812 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the stockholders of Dogehash in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Dogehash.
The foregoing description of the Acquisition, the Merger Agreement and the Articles of Merger contained in this Item 2.01 are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2025, including the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 thereto, and which is incorporated by reference herein, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein, and the Articles of Merger which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and which is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth under Item 2.01 regarding the issuance of the Shares and Series D to the stockholders of Dogehash pursuant to the Merger Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing Shares and Series D, including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
The information set forth in Items 2.01, 3.02 and Item 5.02 are incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of the completion of the Acquisition on December 15, 2025, a change of control of the Company occurred, and Dogehash became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the Effective Time, the former Dogehash stockholders own approximately 45.17% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and 61.07% of the voting power of the combined company, inclusive of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D, and the Company’s stockholders prior to the Merger retain 54.83% and 38.93% (after giving effect to the conversion of the Series D) of the outstanding Common Stock and voting power of the combined company.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 15, 2025, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate the Acquisition and a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to change the name of the Company to Datacentrex, Inc. from Thumzup Media Corporation (the “Name Change”). Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.390(8), no stockholder approval was required for the Charter Amendment because it only related to a name change.
In addition, on December 15, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D COD”) designating 16,240 shares as Series D, par value $0.001 per share. Each share of Series D is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment; provided, however, the Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series D to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder together with the holder’s affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%. As long as any shares of Series D are outstanding the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series D or alter or amend the Series D COD, (b) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that materially adversely affects any rights of the holder of the Series D, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series D, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Except as otherwise provided in the Series D COD or required by law, holders of the Series D have no voting rights. Series D ranks junior to the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and pari passu with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series D shares will share in the distribution of the Company’s assets on an as-converted basis together with the Common Stock, subordinate only to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series D shall be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series D equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.
The foregoing descriptions of the Articles of Merger, Charter Amendment, and Series D COD do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Merger, Charter Amendment and the Series D COD, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the Name Change, the Company’s trading symbol for its Common Stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 16, 2025 under the symbol “DTCX” (the “Symbol Change”). The CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock following the Name Change and Symbol Change will be 256918103.
