GameStop's board of directors has decided to add Bitcoin to its reserve assets, following other companies like MicroStrategy.
GameStop holds a substantial amount of cash reserves, with $4.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, enabling it to invest in cryptocurrencies and diversify its treasury reserves.
GameStop acknowledges the risks associated with Bitcoin, including market manipulation, volatility, and security vulnerabilities, but continues to evaluate the performance benefits of its investment strategy.
The announcement of GameStop's Bitcoin investment led to a 12% surge in its stock prices, indicating investor optimism.
