Spotlight on GameStop: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Public companies continued to expand their Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings at a faster pace than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">exchange-traded funds</a> (ETFs) for the third consecutive quarter, signaling a growing corporate interest in holding Bitcoin directly.
What Happened: Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that public companies acquired approximately 131,000 BTC in the second quarter of 2025, marking an 18% increase in their total Bitcoin holdings, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/01/public-companies-bought-more-bitcoin-than-etfs-did-for-the-third-quarter-in-a-row.html">according</a> to CNBC.
By comparison, ETFs added around 111,000 BTC during the same period, reflecting an 8% rise.
Analysts note that corporate Bitcoin buyers are often motivated by a different set of priorities than institutional ETF investors. 
According to Nick Marie, head of research at Ecoinometrics, while ETF investors seek exposure to Bitcoin's price movements, companies acquiring Bitcoin for their treasuries are focused on long-term accumulation to enhance shareholder value.
Marie highlighted that corporate Bitcoin holdings grew 4% in April, despite market volatility triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcements.
ETFs, by contrast, saw only a 2% increase during the same period. 
He added that for these companies, the price of Bitcoin is not the primary driver, what matters is building substantial reserves that appeal to indirect Bitcoin investors.
ETFs remain the largest single holders of Bitcoin, with combined assets exceeding 1.4 million BTC, accounting for roughly 6.8% of the cryptocurrency's fixed supply. 
Public companies currently hold about 855,000 BTC, or 4% of total supply.

Why It Matters: The shift in buying patterns comes amid a more favorable regulatory climate for crypto under the Trump administration. 
In March, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, a move widely seen as solidifying Bitcoin's place in the financial system. 
The last time ETFs outpaced corporate treasuries in Bitcoin accumulation was in the third quarter of 2024.
Several notable companies joined the Bitcoin treasury trend in the second quarter. 
GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) approved Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in March. 
KindlyMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAKAW#NASDAQ">NAKAW</a>), a healthcare firm, merged with Nakamoto, a Bitcoin investment company founded by David Bailey. 
ProCap (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCAPU#NASDAQ">PCAPU</a>), led by investor Anthony Pompliano, began purchasing Bitcoin and is preparing to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), formerly known as MicroStrategy, remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with about 597,000 BTC. Bitcoin miner Mara Holdings is the second-largest, holding close to 50,000 BTC. 
Ben Werkman, chief investment officer at Swan Bitcoin, said Strategy's scale will be difficult for other companies to match, particularly given the liquidity surrounding its stock. 
Smaller Bitcoin treasury companies, however, could offer attractive risk-reward opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on earlier growth phases.
Marie suggested the number of companies following the Bitcoin treasury strategy could decline over the next decade. 
He explained that as more firms adopt this approach, the unique appeal may diminish, especially if Bitcoin becomes more accessible to traditional investors without the need for intermediaries.
Werkman noted that Bitcoin treasury companies offer a distinct advantage for investors seeking to outperform Bitcoin's price: the ability to leverage capital markets to accumulate additional Bitcoin. 
He also pointed out that some companies may eventually convert their treasury holdings to Bitcoin without adopting the aggressive, leveraged strategy that has defined Strategy's approach.

Public Companies Are Quietly Building Massive Bitcoin Treasuries Faster Than ETFs Can Keep Up

Anthony Pompliano's newly launched company, ProCap BTC, LLC, leapfrogged GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings after bagging another big BTC stash on Wednesday.
What happened: In an X post, well-known entrepreneur and investor Pompliano highlighted data from a Bitcoin holdings tracking site that placed his firm above the video game retailer.
ProCap bought 1,208 BTC at an average price of $105,977, following a purchase of 3,724 BTC a day earlier. Its reserve has swelled to 4,932 BTC, worth $532 million at current prices. GameStop's treasury had 4,710 BTC, worth $508 million, as of this writing.

8 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) shares were trading up approximately 2.7% at $23.61 Wednesday afternoon as investors continue to digest news of the company&#8217;s major new capital infusion. The move has recently fueled speculation that the company will use the funds to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45912870/gamestops-bitcoin-strategy-draws-skepticism-amid-1-75b-debt-offering">purchase more</a> Bitcoin.
What To Know: According to a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000132638025000055/gme-20250611.htm">Form 8-K filing</a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Tuesday, the video game retailer has completed a private offering of $2.25 billion in convertible senior notes.
The unsecured notes, which carry a 0.00% interest rate and mature in 2032, have provided GameStop with net proceeds of roughly $2.23 billion. The company stated the funds are earmarked for general corporate purposes, which could include investments or strategic acquisitions consistent with its investment policy.

The notes are <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000132638025000055/gme-20250611.htm">convertible</a> into common stock at an initial price of approximately $28.91 per share. This represents a 32.5% premium over the stock&#8217;s volume-weighted average price on June 12, and sits well above its current price. The company may not redeem the notes prior to June 20, 2029.
This strategic move meanwhile provides GameStop with a substantial cash war chest as it navigates its ongoing business transformation. GameStop recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45893917/gamestop-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">said </a>it used cash to purchase 4,710 Bitcoin subsequent to the end of the first quarter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy GME Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in GameStop&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Despite substantial Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) accumulation by companies and ETFs, prices have yet to rise significantly. However, an expert believes that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45990339/michael-saylors-strategy-nears-600000-bitcoin-after-1-billion-buy-funded-by-high-yield-ipo-says-td-cowen-sees-very-safe-upside">treasury-focused companies</a> may need to maintain a minimum BTC holding to ensure long-term survival.
What Happened: Crypto investor and The Big Bitcoin Book co-author Fred Krueger sparked conversation on Tuesday with a bold analogy &#8211; Bitcoin treasury companies are like sharks; they must keep moving (buying) to survive.
In his X <a href="https://x.com/dotkrueger/status/1935024579153641860">post</a>, Krueger said these companies need to purchase 10,000 BTC every month just to maintain strategic momentum. &#8220;If they stop, the strategy fails,&#8221; he added, likening the aggressive Bitcoin acquisition behaviour to a feeding frenzy that persists regardless of price levels.
He pointed to Michael Saylor's BTC accumulation strategy for his company Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which has involved purchasing at least 10,000 BTC every two months since 2024, as a blueprint being emulated.
BitcoinTreasuries.net data shows 3.44 million BTC is held across various entities, including public/private companies, ETFs, custodians, governments, and smart contracts. ETFs and funds now hold the largest share, followed by public companies and governments. Over the past 30 days, BTC held in treasuries rose 3.9%.
The BTC held by tracked entities increased by 28 BTC in the past month, with 236 BTC now held across these institutional wallets.

Why It Matters: Despite aggressive accumulation by institutions, Bitcoin's price hasn't budged significantly. In an X <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1934996798092759462">post</a> on Tuesday, Daan Crypto Trades noted that Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $5 billion in inflows last month. This includes $2.2 billion from Saylor's Strategy, and another $2 billion+ from firms like GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>). 
Despite this more than $10 billion institutional demand, Bitcoin's price remains flat, Daan called it a &#8220;double-edged sword.&#8221; If inflows persist, supply could be exhausted, making it bullish. But if inflows slow, it may mark a local top, as seen in past ETF-driven cycles.
Another trader, Jelle, <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1935266770287300879" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted </a>a string of corporate buyers over the past week: U.S.-based F Street announced daily Bitcoin purchases, targeting a total investment of $10 million, and Sweden-based H100 Group secured $10 million to purchase BTC.
Singapore-based Davis Commodities announced plans to purchase $12 million worth of BTC and UK-based TAO Alpha completed a 5 million GBP raise to purchase BTC, kickstarting a new BTC treasury policy.

GameStop's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.12% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 47.49 million shares sold short, which is 11.63% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.63 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>GameStop Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750172433_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for GameStop has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing GameStop's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, GameStop's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.16%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About GameStop?

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) has agreed to pay $4.5 million to its customers following allegations of privacy law violations. The gaming retailer was accused of sharing personal customer information with Facebook without consent.
What Happened: GameStop Corp is gearing up to distribute millions to its customers to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accused the company of violating&nbsp;the federal Video Privacy Protection&nbsp;Act (VPPA) by allegedly sharing sensitive customer data with Facebook.
The gaming retailer is specifically accused of implementing&nbsp;a Facebook tracking pixel on&nbsp;its website. This pixel allegedly sent customer&#8217;s personal information, including details of video game purchases, to Facebook without their knowledge or consent.
The settlement, which totals $4.5 million, applies to individuals&nbsp;who purchased a game from&nbsp;GameStop&#8217;s online store between August 18th, 2020, and April 17th, 2025. 
To qualify for the settlement, customers must have been Facebook members&nbsp;and maintained a public Facebook&nbsp;profile using their real name at the time of purchase.

While the exact number of affected customers is not yet known, the settlement suggests that hundreds of thousands of customers may be eligible for compensation. Affected&nbsp;customers are set to receive&nbsp;up to $5 cash or&nbsp;a $10 voucher.
Despite agreeing to the settlement, GameStop has not admitted to any wrongdoing. The company has, however, committed to permanently removing&nbsp;the tracking pixel to prevent&nbsp;future unauthorized data sharing.
Why It Matters: This settlement highlights the increasing scrutiny on companies to ensure they adhere to privacy laws and respect customer data. 
As consumers become more aware of their digital rights, companies like GameStop are being held accountable for their data practices. 
This case serves as a reminder for businesses to review their data sharing practices and ensure they are in line with legal requirements.

GameStop to Pay $4.5 Million Over Alleged Privacy Violations Involving Facebook Data Sharing

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — especially the Israel‑Iran conflict — and unexpectedly soft U.S. inflation data produced choppy market action this week. The S&amp;P 500 pulled back from all‑time highs as oil jumped above $70, marking its largest weekly gain in years.
Energy stocks led sector gains amid rising oil, while gold and silver rallied on demand for havens. Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) stood out, climbing 20% after strong earnings. The U.S. dollar dipped to a three-year low against major currencies.
Looking ahead, investors are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting and U.S.–China trade discussions. Any change in rate guidance or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway market sentiment in the near term.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Eli Lilly, Okto, McDonalds — And Israel-Iran Conflict Sparks Oil Surge

Video game retailer GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) recognizes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45872536/gamestop-q1-earnings-revenue-misses-despite-collectibles-growth-eps-beats-retailer-adds-4710-bitcoin">its gaming business</a> is under pressure and is turning to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and trading cards as its next growth segments.
What Happened: At the company&#8217;s annual meeting, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen highlighted how the first quarter was the company's first profitable Q1 since 2019. Cohen said this came from reducing costs, closing unprofitable stores and "focusing on the core fundamentals of the business," as <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/gamestop-to-double-down-on-high-margin-potential-trading-cards-pokmon-tgc-and-the-like-a-natural-extension-of-our-existing-business">reported </a>by IGN.
One item quickly becoming a core fundamental is trading cards.

"We are focusing on trading cards as a natural extension of our existing business," Cohen said. "The trading card market – whether it's sports, Pokémon, or collectibles, is aligned with our heritage – it first our trading model, it appeals to our core customer base, and it's deeply embedded in physical retail."
Cohen said trading cards have "high margin potential" and are a "logical expansion."
GameStop recently purchased 4,710 Bitcoin as part of a new treasury reserve strategy, signaling its commitment to holding the cryptocurrency—an area where investors expect further activity.
Shares declined on news of a planned $1.75 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45905997/gamestop-stock-is-facing-selling-pressure-thursday-whats-going-on">private senior note offering</a>, overshadowing a mixed first-quarter report. Revenue came in at $732.4 million, missing the $754.2 million Street estimate. While hardware and software sales declined year-over-year, collectibles revenue rose to $211.5 million.
Despite the revenue miss, GameStop posted a surprise profit. Earnings per share of 17 cents beat expectations of four cents. Operating income hit $27.5 million—up from a $55 million loss a year ago—while adjusted net income surged to $83.1 million, compared to a loss of $36.7 million in the prior year's first quarter.
Why It's Important: GameStop's focus on collectibles has some investors believing the company could be a takeover target.
However, on Friday, trading card grading company PSA told Cllct Media that it had no plans to acquire GameStop.
For those who forgot, Collectors CEO Nat Turner joined GameStop's board of directors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42047265/gamestop-adds-nat-turner-to-board-does-the-move-show-bigger-bet-on-trading-cards-grading">back in November.</a> Collectors is the owner of PSA and previously signed a collaboration with GameStop to be an authorized PSA dealer.
PSA denied a potential acquisition. However, the company&#8217;s growth in trading cards could create value for GameStop and bring in a slight buyout multiple for potential companies in the trading card and collectibles space that could capitalize on the company&#8217;s retail footprint.
Trading cards are also the lone segment that Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter sees as a positive for the company.
"GameStop's foray into the trading card business appears to be the only recent business venture to see modest success," Pachter said in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45888497/bitcoin-probably-wont-fix-gamestops-troubles">recent investor note.</a>
The analyst maintained an Underperform rating on GameStop with a $13.50 price target.
Price Action: GameStop closed at $22.14 for the week compared to a 52-week trading range of $18.73 to $35.81. The stock was down 26% during the week.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

GameStop estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $2.23 billion (or approximately $2.68 billion if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchaser's discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by GameStop.
GameStop intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including making investments in a manner consistent with GameStop's Investment Policy and potential acquisitions.

As a new GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) ETF has made its debut, retail traders and investors have raised alarms about market distortion and potential misuse by institutional players.
What Happened: Platforms such as Reddit and X are abuzz with concerns regarding a new ETF being created to track GameStop, which is set to make its debut on the bourses on Tuesday.
The fund, created by the Bitwise Funds Trust, will trade under the ticker $IGME, and according <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1928561/000121390025052046/ea0244774-02_497k.htm">to</a> SEC filings, it will not track GameStop through direct share ownership, but rather via derivatives.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45832509/cathie-wood-warned-about-trump-musk-clash-long-before-it-exploded-now-says-the-feud-exposes-just-how-dependent-elons-empire-is-on-the-us-government">Cathie Wood Warned About Trump-Musk Clash Long Before It Exploded — Now Says The Feud Exposes Just How Dependent Elon&#8217;s Empire Is On The US Government</a>
This raises concerns of potential misuse, as it deals with a &#8220;meme&#8221; stock that has been at the center of the infamous tussle between retail traders and Wall Street bigwigs. According to the fund's prospectus, the strategy involves options-based exposure via covered calls, rather than holding GME shares outright.

No shares involved. &quot;The covered call strategy utilized by the Fund is "synthetic" because the Fund's exposure to the price return of GME… <a href="https://t.co/LqkVr5dEXA">pic.twitter.com/LqkVr5dEXA</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
&#8220;Because such exposure is synthetic, it is possible that the Fund's participation in the price return of GME may not be as precise as if the Fund were directly holding shares,&#8221; Bitwise mentions <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1928561/000121390025052046/ea0244774-02_497k.htm">in</a> its summary prospectus filed with the SEC. 
Retail traders on social media have questioned whether such ETFs are tools for circumventing share-based accountability, especially as borrow fees for GME spike and failures-to-deliver (FTDs) remain elevated.
&#x2A;Borrow Fees &#8211; This refers to the fee that short-sellers pay when borrowing securities, which they then sell to take a position against a particular stock. The fee for this varies depending on the short interest in a stock, and in the case of GameStop, it is now at 0.3506% <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/gamestop/cost-to-borrow/">on</a> Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>), having reached as high as 110% in May 2022.
&#x2A;Failures-To-Deliver &#8211; This occurs when someone buys or sells a stock, but the actual shares don't show up on time to complete the trade. FTDs commonly occur due to &#8220;naked short-selling,&#8221; a practice in which short-sellers don&#8217;t actually borrow shares before selling them, thus flooding the market with synthetic supply.
This comes just months following the debut of T-Rex 2X Long GME Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMEU#BATS">GMEU</a>), another fund that began with 10,000 shares of Gamestop, before swapping to a derivatives-based approach, likely a Total Return Swap.
Retail traders and investors, however, believe that these instruments are made to serve Wall Street more than Main Street. &#8220;I can't help but wonder if the real reason that this instrument was made was for creation and redemption misuse by Authorized Participants,&#8221; said @sboho on X.

According <a href="https://jacobslevycenter.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ETF-Short-Interest-and-Failures-to-Deliver.pdf">to</a> a paper by Richard B. Evans of the University of Virginia, these concerns by retail investors aren&#8217;t entirely unfounded, since ETFs are responsible for nearly 78% of FTDs in U.S. equities. 
The paper also identifies how Authorized Participants routinely engage in &#8220;operational shorting,&#8221; which refers to intentionally delaying ETF share creation or delivery, which, while used for certain arbitrage strategies, is ripe for misuse. 
Bitwise has responded to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for a comment, stating that &#8220;asset managers are prohibited from commenting on prospective ETF launches in the time between filing and launch,&#8221; and hence, they have no comment to add regarding this.
Why It Matters: Several leading analysts and market experts have since echoed similar views, with investment manager James Chanos of Kynikos Associates sarcastically referring to single-stock ETFs, calling their &#8220;high fees and reset risks&#8221; as &#8220;financial innovation at its best.&#8221;

New GameStop ETF IGME Raises Eyebrows Amid Surge In Borrow Fees, Settlement Failures: Are ETFs Being Weaponized Against Retail Traders?

GameStop's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) stock took a sharp hit on Thursday, falling 22% to $22.12 by midday Eastern Time, following the announcement that it plans to issue $1.75 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45888497/bitcoin-probably-wont-fix-gamestops-troubles">convertible senior notes</a>.
What Happened: The notes, which won't carry regular interest, are aimed at "general corporate purposes," <a href="https://news.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-details/2025/GameStop-Announces-Proposed-Private-Offering-of-1-75-Billion-of-Convertible-Senior-Notes/default.aspx">according</a> to the company's blog post.
While GameStop didn't explicitly mention Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the announcement, the phrasing referenced potential investments "consistent with its investment policy" language similar to what the company used earlier this year when it updated its policy to allow for crypto assets.
The company previously disclosed in late May that it had acquired 4,710 Bitcoin, though the announcement offered little detail. 
It gave no information on average purchase price or how much cash was deployed, deviating from the transparency typically seen in corporate Bitcoin disclosures. 
That minimal communication has left analysts and investors guessing about the scope and intent of its crypto involvement.
CEO Ryan Cohen has remained tight-lipped on the firm's future Bitcoin plans, stating in a recent interview that GameStop would not follow the playbook of other crypto-invested firms. 
Despite posing for a photo earlier this year with Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of Bitcoin-heavy Strategy, Cohen insisted the company is pursuing its own path.
Still, the structure of GameStop's latest fundraising mirrors that of Strategy's well-known approach: raising capital through convertible debt to buy Bitcoin.

What Experts Are Saying: That similarity has drawn comparisons and criticism from observers who believe GameStop may be chasing short-term investor hype rather than addressing deeper operational challenges.
Speaking with Benzinga, Tom Bruni, Vice President of Community at Stocktwits, noted that retail traders remain enthusiastic about Bitcoin, but are losing interest in companies trying to mimic direct exposure. 
"The underperformance of Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) relative to Bitcoin and the lackluster response to copycats like GameStop raising funds to buy Bitcoin is indicative of that," Bruni said.
He added that Bitcoin ETFs and regulated financial products have given investors cleaner, more transparent routes to crypto exposure. 
"Although these companies can gain short-term fanfare from this financial engineering tactic, once the conversation returns to business fundamentals, much of those gains (and often more) are given back," Bruni explained.
In GameStop's case, the issue may run deeper than market sentiment. 
Bruni argues that the company's continued use of high-profile financial maneuvers, rather than focusing on its declining revenue and stagnating retail operations, reflects a lack of strategic direction under Cohen's leadership. 
"For the company to make its core operations profitable, a clear plan to drive revenue growth is necessary," Bruni said. "Instead, Ryan Cohen and his team are taking the easy way out."
While Stocktwits data shows a rise in ‘bullish' sentiment toward GameStop amid the selloff, Bruni noted that many traders view it as a short-term technical setup rather than renewed confidence in the business model.
