GameStop Goes Bitcoin – But How Big Is Their Stash?

Hey there, fellow degens. Did you catch that?

GameStop just stepped into the corporate Bitcoin game. No official amount, but we do know they’re sitting on a hefty $4.77B in cash.

Could we see a mega-purchase soon—or is this just a quiet toe-dip? Let’s break it down.

Ugh, crypto taxes, right? CoinLedger can at least take some of that stress off your shoulders—

• Auto-import trades from any of your wallets, CEXs, or DeFi protocols

• Generate an IRS-ready tax report in minutes

• Save on taxes with smart cost-basis tracking

No more hair-pulling. Check out coinledger.io and stop dreading tax season. Let them do the math while you do the moon-chasing.

1. GameStop Taps Bitcoin for Its Treasury

GameStop updated its investment policy to allow BTC (and stablecoins) in its treasury. The Q4 earnings report made it official.

GameStop’s Q4 earnings report quietly mentioned:

CEO Ryan Cohen was spotted hobnobbing with Michael Saylor at Mar-a-Lago in February, plus voices like Strive Asset Management publicly urged GameStop to pivot to a Bitcoin treasury.

They haven’t disclosed how much BTC they’ll buy—just that the board approved it. So yeah, no instant MSTR vibes yet.

Either way, the board’s given the green light. If they decide to put a chunk of that $4.77B into Bitcoin, we’re talking a potential big wave for the market. Watch for any official purchase announcements or additional details in future earnings calls.

With $4.77B in cash, if they go big, that might actually move the market. But for now, we wait.

2. The Macro Market Check

• BTC: Around $86K-ish, down ~1%. We are watching for a weekly close above $85K.

• ETH: Near $2,020, down almost 2%. Whale accumulation suggests bullish vibes.

• Why So Quiet? Ongoing trade tensions, uncertain Fed signals, and not enough fresh capital to spark a bigger rally—yet.

The bigger question: is a GameStop move enough to rattle this sideways action? Possibly not alone. But add in more corporate news, and we might see real momentum.

3. Corporate Bitcoin Club Expands

GameStop joins the ranks of Tesla, MicroStrategy, Square, and others who’ve dipped their corporate toes into BTC. Some watchers see this as a slow tidal wave of mainstream acceptance—others say it’s a well-known “treasury hedge.” Either way, it’s another giant billboard proclaiming: “Yes, we still think Bitcoin’s a big deal.”

The next step is always, “Alright, but how many sats are you actually holding?” Let’s see if they reveal that soon.

4. Where’s the Market Headed Next?

• M&A Rumors: We’ve seen a surge in crypto acquisitions lately—Kraken, Coinbase, etc. That can catalyze hype, plus potential expansions into new niches.

• Institutions: They keep edging in, from conferences to direct allocations. If GameStop’s move sparks more FOMO, 2025 could see a wave of old-school brands adopting BTC.

• Fed & Tariffs: Gotta keep half an eye on trade tensions. That can hamper or turbocharge risk assets.

Degen Take: The short-term is a coin toss. But the mid- to long-term is looking more bullish with each new corporate friend.

Final Thoughts: Are We in Bull Mode?

Hard to say. Some corners of the market (like stablecoins) are on a tear, GameStop’s board is opening the door to a potential BTC buy, and big alt supporters are rethinking their positions. On the flip side, macro uncertainty and trade war fears still loom.

But one thing’s certain: the vibe is more bullish than it’s been in a while. Corporations jumping into BTC, stablecoins hitting new highs, and even the biggest BTC loyalists acknowledging alt potential… feels like something’s brewing.

So, keep an eye on those GameStop announcements (you never know when they’ll drop a bombshell about buying $500M in BTC). Keep an eye on stablecoin supply—because if that capital starts shifting into alts, we might see fireworks.

Until next time, stay degen, stay curious, and don’t forget to celebrate every bullish move with a coffee (or a beer, no judgment here).
