GameStop Stock Falls 15% Amid $1.75B Convertible Notes Offering for Bitcoin Investments
  • GameStop's stock price experienced a decline following the announcement of a $1.75 billion convertible notes offering aimed at funding its Bitcoin investments.

  • Despite reporting a profit of $44.8 million for the first quarter, the company faced a significant revenue miss of $732.4 million, contributing to the drop in stock price.

  • On June 11, 2025, GameStop shares fell approximately 5% during regular trading and an additional 10% in after-hours trading, following a 17% decline in Q1 revenue reported the previous day.

  • The company's investment strategy includes adding Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, a move announced in March 2025.

  • Proceeds from the convertible notes offering are intended for general corporate purposes, which may include investments in Bitcoin and other blockchain assets.

  • The convertible notes will not bear interest and are set to mature in June 2032, with conversion terms to be determined later.

  • The offering includes zero-coupon notes with an option for initial purchasers to acquire up to $250 million more in notes within 13 days after issuance.

  • The notes can be converted into cash, GameStop stock, or a combination of both, although the conversion rate remains undetermined.

  • This debt offering supports GameStop's strategy of investing in Bitcoin and potential acquisitions, although it does not explicitly state that the funds will be used solely for Bitcoin purchases.

  • Currently, GameStop ranks as the 13th largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

  • The company has significantly increased its cash reserves, reporting $4.7 billion in cash and equivalents as of March 2025, up from $921 million the previous year.

  • CEO Ryan Cohen hinted at a Bitcoin purchase earlier in February 2025, sharing a photo with Michael Saylor, the leader of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury firm.
