GameStop, the well-known video game retailer, has announced that it successfully raised $1.5 billion through a private offering of convertible notes.
The company plans to use the funds to purchase Bitcoin, signaling a strategic move into digital assets.
According to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), GameStop completed its private offering of 0.00% convertible senior notes due in 2030. This included the full exercise of an option that allowed the initial purchaser to acquire an additional $200 million in notes.

Initially, the news of GameStop’s fundraising effort boosted its stock price, but the rally was short-lived, as shares have since declined. This suggests that some investors remain cautious about the company’s decision to invest in Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy. The move echoes a similar approach taken by Strategy, which began accumulating Bitcoin in August 2020.
Nathan Cox, CIO of Two Prime Digital Assets, noted that GameStop might be drawing inspiration from Strategy’s model. He pointed out that with over $4 billion in cash reserves and annual revenue of $3.8 billion as of 2024, the retailer has the potential to significantly expand its Bitcoin holdings if it chooses to pursue this path.
