GameStop (GME) stock surged 20% in after-hours trading after a report the company is considering investing in Bitcoin (BTC). According to CNBC, it looks like GameStop would evaluate this as to whether it could put money into Bitcoin and the other cryptos through its corporate policy as an option for its balance sheet.

GameStop shares went up to $31.30 from $26.30 in regular trading. Prices settled around $28.36, up 7% and clearly showing investor demand. A Solana memecoin related to GameStop (not backed by the company) went up to $0.0027 before dropping back to $0.0025 according to CoinGecko.

GameStop CEO Meets Bitcoin Investor Michael Saylor

According to reports; whispers on a possible GameStop Bitcoin investment; Ryan Cohen, CEO of GameStop, just met with Michael Saylor, founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)-the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 400,000 BTC.

Cohen posted a picture of the meeting on Feb 8, sparking speculation that GameStop would follow a Strategy-like investment model for Bitcoin. But CNBC clarified that Saylor is not involved in GameStop’s discussions on investing in BTC.

It makes sense for GameStop to do so given the company’s financial situation, which, as of Q3 2024, has around $4.616 billion in cash reserves and total liabilities of less than $1.5 billion. If GameStop decides to keep a portion of its reserves in Bitcoin, it would become one of the largest corporate holders of digital assets.

GameStop’s History with Crypto & NFT

GameStop isn’t new to crypto, either. In May 2022 they launched a crypto wallet where users could store and trade virtual assets. Sources say they shut down the wallet in 2023 due to regulatory uncertainty.

They also dabbled in NFTs with their NFT marketplace opening on October 31, 2022. This NFT marketplace for gaming assets was through a partnership with ImmutableX, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain solution.

After a hot start; GameStop allegedly left the NFT space in January 2024 due to lack of volume in the sector.

What Lies Ahead for GameStop and Bitcoin?

Investing in the currency could provide GameStop with hedges against inflation as well as some defensive diversifications of its assets.It shouldn’t be thought otherwise, though. The company has yet to make any formal announcement regarding its investment in Bitcoin.

Analysts in the industry agree that if even GameStop pursues the plan, it will likely take the same path as Tesla and MicroStrategy have taken with respect to Bitcoin inclusion in their corporate coffers.

Conclusion

The speculation of GameStop’s potential Bitcoin investment creates a buzz in the market, especially given its healthy financial state and the recent encounter of its CEO, Ryan Cohen, with Michael Saylor.

Should the company make such a move, it would mark a historical moment in American corporate adoption of Bitcoin. Investors will keep a close eye on GameStop’s next moves as the prospect of digital asset exposure is weighed.
