CleanCore Bets $175M on DOGE to Redefine Corporate Treasuries

CleanCore Solutions (NYSE AMER: ZONE) has launched a groundbreaking initiative by becoming the first publicly traded firm to establish a Dogecoin (DOGE) treasury. The company announced that it has acquired 285.42 million DOGE tokens, valued at approximately $68 million, as part of a long-term strategy to accumulate one billion DOGE within 30 days and eventually acquire 5% of the total supply [1]. This move follows a $175 million private placement secured through institutional support from Pantera, GSR, FalconX, and MOZAYYX [2].

The company’s unconventional treasury management strategy involves redirecting a significant portion of its raised capital into Dogecoin rather than using it for traditional corporate reserves. CleanCore’s market capitalization stands at roughly $55 million, making the $175 million investment into DOGE a highly leveraged position. The decision underscores the company’s belief in the digital asset’s potential as a treasury reserve, driven by its high liquidity, low transaction costs, and broad global adoption [3].

Dogecoin, originally created as a meme cryptocurrency, has evolved into one of the most widely used digital assets, facilitating billions of transactions daily. Unlike speculative tokens that often experience rapid price cycles, Dogecoin has demonstrated staying power by maintaining a robust and active community. CleanCore’s Chief Investment Officer, Marco Margiotta, emphasized that the Dogecoin Treasury strategy aligns with the company’s operational philosophy. Just as CleanCore’s aqueous ozone systems replace toxic cleaning chemicals with safer alternatives, the digital treasury aims to replace idle fiat with a scalable and appreciating asset [4].

The decision to adopt Dogecoin as a primary treasury asset is not without risk. The company has positioned roughly three times its market capitalization into a highly volatile asset that lacks the intrinsic value and institutional safeguards of more established cryptocurrencies. Critics have highlighted the absence of disclosed risk controls, hedging strategies, or diversification within the current treasury approach. Additionally, Dogecoin’s unbounded supply raises concerns about long-term inflationary pressures and sustainability as a reserve asset [5].

Despite these risks, CleanCore’s treasury strategy reflects a broader shift in corporate financial management, particularly among small-cap firms seeking to differentiate themselves in competitive markets. The company’s core business has shown signs of strong momentum, with fiscal 2024 revenue growing 29% to $2.07 million. CleanCore also completed the acquisition of Sanzonate Europe in April 2025, granting it entry into the European market, and secured a major contract with a logistics company covering over 1,000 U.S. facilities [6]. These developments suggest that the company is pursuing a dual-track strategy that combines operational growth with financial innovation.

CleanCore’s Dogecoin treasury represents a significant departure from traditional corporate practices, where treasuries are typically reserved for capital preservation and low-risk assets. By positioning Dogecoin as a central component of its balance sheet, CleanCore is redefining the role of treasuries in corporate strategy. The company’s decision aligns with the growing trend of small-cap firms exploring unconventional financial instruments to enhance shareholder value and capture market attention. If successful, CleanCore’s approach could serve as a blueprint for other companies seeking to integrate digital assets into their financial strategies [7].
