HCMC Announces Initial Meme Coin Token Acquisition From DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq:DFDV) Through its New AI Powered IP Platform RAGE (Risk Assessment Gauging Enterprise)
1 Billion Cryptocurrency Token Position Acquired in DeFi Development Corp.’s (Nasdaq: DFDV) $DONT DisclaimerCoin
The $DONT DisclaimerCoin transaction creates DFDV's first meme coin partnership, aligning two organizations around a shared vision to build one of the most recognized and valuable digital culture assets in the market
HCMC believes growing awareness and expanding community engagement will result in increased popularity of the $DONT DisclaimerCoin
The investment in $DONT DisclaimerCoin is the beginning of HCMC's quest to become a leading digital culture asset company, with RAGE being the Company's vehicle for building exposure to the next generation of culturally significant blockchain assets
HOLLYWOOD, FL, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthier Choices Management Corp. (HCMC) today announced its inaugural investment in 1 billion tokens of $DON’T DisclaimerCoin, the pioneering meme coin launched by DeFi Development Corp. (“DFDV”). HCMC will hold these tokens through RAGE, the new AI powered IP platform of HCMC focused on digital assets, meme coins and internet-native communities. As previously announced, RAGE will serve as HCMC's flagship AI powered IP platform for identifying, acquiring, and scaling exposure to high-conviction digital culture assets that sit at the intersection of community, capital markets, and internet-native innovation.
The first asset selected under the RAGE initiative is DisclaimerCoin (DONT), the first meme coin founded by a publicly traded company, DeFi Development Corp (Nasdaq: DFDV). Unlike many traditional meme coins that were launched anonymously, DONT was created by a public company traded on the Nasdaq with identifiable leadership, public disclosure obligations, and a novel vision to bring accountability and transparency to the meme coin sector.
Jeff Holman, Chief Executive Officer of HCMC, commented, “Our decision to add 1 billion DONT tokens to our treasury reflects our conviction that DONT represents a historic milestone as the first meme coin founded by a publicly traded company on a major stock exchange. It introduces a level of transparency, accountability, and alignment that has historically been absent from much of the meme coin market.”
As also previously announced, HCMC intends to utilize RAGE to expand beyond its initial DONT position and pursue additional strategic opportunities across the digital culture ecosystem. HCMC will continue to evaluate leading meme coins and other community-driven digital assets that align with RAGE’s investment philosophy.

HCMC Announces RAGE (Risk Assessment Gauging Enterprise), its New Investment Intelligence Platform Designed to Identify Undervalued Opportunities Across the Digital Asset Ecosystem
HCMC establishes digital asset product line
Company's AI Based Platform for Building Exposure to the Next Generation of Culturally Significant Blockchain Assets with a focus on meme coins.
HOLLYWOOD, FL, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthier Choices Management Corp. (Pink Limited Market:HCMC) today announced the launch of its RAGE flagship IP platform www.https://rage-rho.vercel.app/, through which the Company will identify, acquire, and scale exposure to high-conviction, digital culture assets that sit at the intersection of community, capital markets, and internet-native innovation.
The corporate objective is to create an additional sustainable growth initiative for HCMC. The strategy would allow the Company to evaluate and acquire selected digital assets, blockchain ecosystem positions, and related opportunities using a combination of AI-assisted research and management oversight.
HCMC believes that the evolution of the digital asset market is creating a new category of value centered around community, culture, and global digital identity. While early generations of digital assets were primarily evaluated based on technology and utility, the Company believes the strongest emerging digital communities may ultimately become some of the most valuable brands of the internet era.
HCMC subscribes to the common belief that the greatest wealth creation opportunities are typically found at the earliest stages of an asset's lifecycle, when entry prices are low, market participation remains limited, and future growth potential is at its highest.
Through RAGE, the Company intends to identify and accumulate positions in emerging digital culture assets before they achieve mainstream recognition, allowing shareholders to benefit from the upside that can result from expanding adoption, growing communities, and long-term ecosystem development.
Jeff Holman, Chief Executive Officer of HCMC, commented:
“RAGE represents HCMC’s vision for the future of digital culture and our belief that communities themselves are becoming powerful economic networks. We believe the next generation of iconic digital assets will be built not only on technology, but on identity, culture, and millions of engaged participants around the world.”
Mr. Holman concluded, “Just as the internet created globally recognized brands from online communities, we believe the strongest digital communities of today may become the iconic brands of tomorrow. Through RAGE, HCMC intends to be an early participant in this transformation. We anticipate these token investments to be high volume, low cost, high risk, and high reward propositions, and intend them to be spread over multiple acquisitions to maximize chances for significant success.”
Management believes this approach may provide shareholders with exposure to emerging digital asset ecosystems through a publicly traded company while preserving governance, transparency, and public-market accessibility.
HCMC will shortly announce its initial cryptocurrency position, and plans to expand its positions and pursue additional strategic opportunities across the digital culture ecosystem. The Company will continue to evaluate leading meme coins and other community-driven digital assets that align with RAGE’s AI powered investment philosophy.

Healthier Choices Management Corp. (HCMC) stock has become a largely stagnant, ultra-low-priced "penny stock" trading at a fraction of a cent (
as of April 2026). After a highly publicized, failed patent lawsuit against Philip Morris and a subsequent spin-off of its grocery business, investors primarily consider it a failed "pump and dump" with extremely limited liquidity, often viewing the investment as a total loss.
Current Status and Key Events:
Price Collapse: HCMC has fallen from its early 2021 hype levels to the minimum trading price on the OTC Pink sheets.
"Dead" Stock Status: Users on platforms like Reddit's /r/HCMCSTOCK consider the stock "dead" and suggest that selling shares is extremely difficult or impossible due to a lack of buyers and broker restrictions, with many seeing it as a lost investment.
Business Shift: The company shifted focus toward its Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio, creating a dedicated subsidiary for its patent, vaping, and CBD technologies, but this has failed to drive significant share price recovery.
Recent Performance: Despite some reports of high revenue growth and a new credit facility in 2024–2026, the company continues to report net losses and suffers from massive outstanding share dilution.
Some investors hold on with the hope of a potential, albeit unlikely.
