(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&#39;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.</p>  <p align="justify">The first asset selected under the RAGE initiative is DisclaimerCoin (DONT), the first meme coin founded by a publicly traded company, <b>DeFi Development Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DFDV">DFDV</a>)</b>. 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.</p>  <p align="justify">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."</p>  <p align="justify">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.</p>  <p align="justify">About RAGE</p>  <p align="justify">RAGE 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.</p>  <p align="justify">About Healthier Choices Management Corp.</p>  <p align="justify">Healthier Choices Management Corp.
