HOLLYWOOD, FL, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthier Choices Management Corp. (Pink Limited Market: HCMC) (“HCMC” or the “Company”) today announced that its RAGE (Risk Assessment Gauging Enterprise) digital asset intelligence platform is evaluating and supporting strategic exposure to the $DONT and $EOM digital asset ecosystems following the publication of the proposed Eyes on Monitor × $DONT whitepaper (Disclaimercoin.com/eom).Eyes on Monitor is available at https://eyesonmonitor.com.The proposed ecosystem outlines a new tokenized media model designed to combine curated news, premium digital access, blockchain-based provenance and historical digital collectibles.Under the proposed model, $DONT is intended to function as an access and utility layer within the Eyes on Monitor ecosystem, while $EOM is designed to support provenance, historical participation and selected verification and curation functions.The whitepaper further proposes a phased product roadmap that may include token-based premium access, staking functionality, protocol fee routing, dual-token participation and the creation of blockchain-based digital collectibles connected to historically significant events.Jeffrey Holman, Chief Executive Officer of HCMC had this to say, “RAGE was created to identify digital assets where attention, community and emerging utility may intersect before the broader market fully understands the opportunity. What is developing between Eyes on Monitor ($EOM) and $DONT and is particularly interesting because the proposed model attempts to connect digital assets to an actual media product, user access and digital provenance.”The Eyes on Monitor model proposes allowing users to access premium curated content and intelligence features through $DONT-based participation. Certain future historical and provenance features may also require participation in both the $DONT and $EOM ecosystems.The proposed ecosystem also describes a protocol fee model under which certain eligible platform fees paid in $DONT may be divided between permanent token retirement and support for qualifying liquidity providers. According to the whitepaper, ordinary staking principal would not automatically be subject to this mechanism.Mr. Holman further stated, “We believe digital assets ultimately need to compete for users, attention and utility. The concept of connecting real-time media, historical provenance and digital ownership is exactly the type of emerging digital economy RAGE was designed to study.”HCMC previously announced RAGE as its investment intelligence platform designed to identify potentially undervalued opportunities across the digital asset ecosystem.Through RAGE, HCMC intends to continue evaluating digital asset projects based on a combination of community development, market structure, technology, utility, liquidity and potential ecosystem growth.The Company cautions investors that the Eyes on Monitor ($EOM) × $DONT ecosystem remains proposed and under development. Features described in the public whitepaper may be modified, delayed or never implemented. Digital assets are highly speculative and subject to significant market, technological, liquidity and regulatory risks.About RAGERAGE, or Risk Assessment Gauging E

(Pink Limited Market: HCMC) (“HCMC” or the “Company”) today announced that it has acquired 420,000 Eyes on Monitor ($EOM) tokens, representing approximately 1% of the token’s total supply. This acquisition of tokens was made through RAGE (Risk Assessment Gauging Enterprise), the Company’s AI-powered IP platform focused on identifying, acquiring, and scaling exposure to high-conviction digital culture assets that sit at the intersection of community, capital markets, technology, and internet-native innovation.The acquisition marks RAGE’s second digital asset position and quickly follows HCMC’s previously announced acquisition of 1 billion $DONT DisclaimerCoin tokens.Eyes on Monitor ($EOM) represents a differentiated internet-native project centered around monitoring emerging information, narratives, and digital attention in real time. HCMC believes the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence, global information flows, social media, financial markets, and internet culture is creating new opportunities for platforms and communities positioned around identifying and predicting where world attention is going.Jeff Holman, Chief Executive Officer of HCMC, commented, “RAGE was built to identify opportunities where technology, culture, community, and market structure begin converging before that convergence becomes widely obvious to the general investing public.”Mr. Holman continued, “We believe that RAGE identified Eyes on Monitor because it sits directly at the intersection of AI, real-time information, narrative discovery and internet culture. In a world where narratives can move markets in minutes, understanding what people are beginning to pay attention to has become increasingly important. Our acquisition of 420,000 EOM tokens, representing approximately 1% of the total supply, precisely reflects the type of concentrated, conviction-driven position we designed RAGE to pursue.”The Company believes real-time narrative intelligence is becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence accelerates the speed at which information is created, distributed, interpreted, and acted upon.The phrase “monitoring the situation” has become deeply embedded across internet culture, financial markets, geopolitical discourse, social media, and digital communities. HCMC believes Eyes on Monitor is positioned within this broader cultural shift, where attention itself is increasingly becoming a measurable and economically significant digital asset.Following RAGE’s initial investment in $DONT DisclaimerCoin, the acquisition of $EOM demonstrates HCMC’s intention to build a strategically selected portfolio of emerging digital culture assets rather than simply pursuing passive exposure to the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.RAGE is designed to evaluate opportunities using a combination of AI-assisted research, market intelligence, community analysis, cultural trend identification, narrative velocity, and management oversight.Mr. Holman conclu

1 Billion Cryptocurrency Token Position Acquired in DeFi Development Corp.’s (Nasdaq: DFDV) $DONT DisclaimerCoinThe $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 marketHCMC believes growing awareness and expanding community engagement will result in increased popularity of the $DONT DisclaimerCoinThe 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 assetsHOLLYWOOD, 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.About RAGERAGE is HCMC’s digital asset IP platform focused on identifying and building strategic exposure to internet-native communities, meme coins, and emerging digital culture assets.About Healthier Choices Management Corp.Healthier Choices Management Corp.

HCMC establishes digital asset product lineCompany'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.About RAGERAGE (Risk Assessment Gauging Enterprise) is HCMC’s new investment intelligence platform designed to identify undervalued opportunities across the digital asset ecosystem.
