Hey there, lucky ali here. Again, welcome back to my blog. Talking about the GameStop platform, it has unveiled a Bitcoin reserve strategy that coincides with rising institutional BTC adoption, and this is happening in 2025 rapidly while sitting on USD 4.8 billion in cash reserves, bringing to life its most disruptive direction yet. If you don't know, then GameStop is the big gaming platform, and this is a popular firm in the gaming industry.
$4.8B in the making: GameStop to load Bitcoin into treasury—is the game just getting started?
On March 25, GameStop Corp. made an announcement that its board of directors “To add Bitcoin crypto as a treasury reserve asset, mutually approved an update to company's investment policy .”
GameStop explained that a part of its current balance could be allocated toward purchasing Bitcoin, and it will also proceed from potential equity offerings or future debt of the company. from GameStop’s traditional treasury management strategy, this action represents a significant departure, following persistent and heavy demands from digital asset proponents and investors to incorporate crypto assets into its financial infrastructure. GameStop company’s new investment guidelines state:
The Company’s investment policy allows investments in certain cryptocurrency assets, including Bitcoin and U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins.
Moreover, along with an investment update, full-year ended February 1, 2025, and fiscal fourth quarter Financial results were released. Here is what happened: Quarterly net sales were $1.794 billion, but they decreased to $1.283 billion from last year. Despite this big loss, net income improved to $131.3 million compared to $63.1 million, and this is interesting data, and this is happened primarily due to reductions in operating expenses. On a full-year basis, net income increased to USD 131.3 million from USD 6.7 million, and net sales decreased to USD 3.823 billion from USD 5.273 billion. GameStop completed the shutdown of its business operations in Germany, and along with this, it also finalized its withdrawal from the market in Italy. In addition, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of USD 4.757 billion at 2024-end.
Several figures in the crypto regime reacted to GameStop's Bitcoin strategy
Many figures in the cryptocurrency regime reacted to the company’s new strategy regarding Bitcoin. They have also commented on the GameStop balance of USD 4.757 billion in cash. Mike Belshe, who is the BitGo CEO, suggested on the social media platform X (Twitter):
GameStop must invest 90% of it in Bitcoin. They must put it in time-locked transactions in 1-year, 2-year, 4-year, and 8-year timeframes and declare that they will share 50% of the profits from the top water.
Jim Cramer also commented on this, and he said, “GameStop company is finally doing my Bitcoin plan!!”, Jim cramer is CNBC’s Mad Money host and In February 2021, Jim Cramer already proposed that GameStop company should raise funds and buy the bitcoin and moreover it should convert its 5k stores into cryptocurrency hubs, calling it a way to justify the stock’s value and also it boost its future.
As a reserve asset, interest in Bitcoin is growing in both the private and public sectors, which is a good thing, and after seeing these things, we can say that crypto is going to experience the next big adoption internationally.
