GameStop announced the purchase of 4,710 bitcoin tokens, worth about $513 million, marking its first-ever crypto investment.
This move by GameStop is part of the trend where corporations are adding bitcoin to their balance sheets, following a bullish stretch for the cryptocurrency with fresh all-time highs.
GameStop first outlined plans to buy crypto in March and fulfilled its promise through a $1.3 billion convertible bond sale, resembling strategies of other firms like Strategy and Trump Media & Technology Group.
Corporate investments in crypto are becoming common, with companies like Tesla, Acurx Pharmaceutical, Riot Platforms, and even small firms like Metaplanet in Japan pivoting to become bitcoin holding companies.
