Speculation around GameStop's move into crypto has been brewing for months. The company finally confirmed it’s now holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet — joining names like Tesla and MicroStrategy.
Market reaction has been strong. GME stock spiked 12% in March and 18% back in February on early rumors. Now, the confirmation could fuel even more bullish sentiment from both retail and institutional players.
GameStop’s BTC buy is part of a broader trend of traditional companies entering the digital asset space — this time, with real skin in the game. 🕹️🟠
