GameStop's Bitcoin journey: Sticking to their position despite market volatility.
GameStop is still persisting with its Bitcoin strategy despite facing some challenges! 🎮💎
The 4.710 BTC Bitcoin held by this game retailer is valued at $519.4 million at the end of Q3, although they reported a loss of $9.2 million as Bitcoin dropped from $115,000 to around $110,000 during this period. Recent BTC price data shows continued volatility, with prices fluctuating around $92,000-$94,000.
Interestingly, GameStop has not touched its Bitcoin since the initial purchase in mid-May and June, funded by a $1.3 billion debt issuance. This HODL strategy has occurred despite their stock dropping 22% since announcing the Bitcoin initiative in March.
While investors weigh the risks of cryptocurrency treasury against GameStop's core business performance (stock down 5.8% after disappointing sales), this is an interesting case of a traditional retailer embracing digital assets as a long-term strategy rather than just a quick flip.
