GameStop, the video game retailer known for the meme stock phenomenon, has secured a $1.5 billion private offering of convertible senior notes.
The firm plans to allocate a portion of the proceeds for the acquisition of Bitcoin.
The notes, which carry a 0.00% interest rate and mature in 2030, allow holders to convert their debt into GameStop's Class A common stock under certain conditions.
GameStop's stock price dropped over 20% after the Bitcoin investment announcement, as investors express concerns about its impact on the struggling retail business.
