GameStop Explores Bitcoin Investment, Shares Surge 20%

Retailer Considers Crypto as Part of Alternative Asset Strategy

GameStop (GME), the video game retailer turned meme stock, is considering investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to sources familiar with the matter. The news sent GameStop shares soaring as much as 20% in extended trading.

The company is reportedly exploring alternative asset investments, with a strong focus on Bitcoin. However, sources indicate that GameStop has yet to finalize a decision and is still assessing whether the move aligns with its broader business strategy.

Speculation intensified after CEO Ryan Cohen posted a photo on X with Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of MicroStrategy (now rebranded as Strategy), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. However, sources clarified that Saylor is not currently involved in GameStop’s crypto-related discussions.

GameStop has previously dabbled in cryptocurrency. In 2022, the company launched crypto wallets supporting digital assets and NFTs but shut them down in 2023, citing regulatory uncertainty.

Under Cohen’s leadership, GameStop has focused on cost-cutting and operational efficiency rather than aggressive growth. As of November 2, the company had accumulated $4.6 billion in cash, which it has been using for strategic investments.

The company’s potential Bitcoin investment would follow in the footsteps of MicroStrategy, which has transformed itself into a Bitcoin-centric firm by acquiring billions in the cryptocurrency. This approach has fueled sharp stock price swings for MicroStrategy, raising questions about whether GameStop could see similar volatility.

GameStop’s board recently approved a new investment policy allowing Cohen and select board members to manage the company’s securities portfolio. Any significant crypto investments would require approval under these guidelines.

While GameStop’s crypto ambitions remain uncertain, the prospect of Bitcoin exposure has reignited investor enthusiasm, echoing the stock’s past meme-driven surges.
