GameStop rose over 9% in overnight trading. The videogame retailer and original meme-stock company announced its eagerly anticipated foray into bitcoin.
In a short statement, GameStop $(GME)$ said its board had unanimously approved an update to its investment policy to add bitcoin (BTCUSD) as a treasury-reserve asset. The move did not come completely out of the blue, as bitcoin buzz has swirled around GameStop and its chief executive, Ryan Cohen, in recent weeks.
In a Form 10-K filing, GameStop said that with the addition of the new treasury-reserve asset, a portion of the company's cash or future debt and equity issuances may be invested in bitcoin. "We have not set a maximum amount of bitcoin we may accumulate, and may sell any bitcoin we may acquire," it added.
Last month, Cohen posted a picture of himself with Michael Saylor, the executive chair of software company and bitcoin play Strategy - formerly MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) - which has held bitcoin as its primary treasury-reserve asset since 2020.
