The decision by GameStop to include Bitcoin in its treasury reserves is seen as further evidence of Bitcoin's gradual mainstream acceptance and adoption by traditional companies. Following the announcement, Bitcoin's price experienced a slight uptick, rising about 0.2% within approximately 24 hours to around $88,500. In contrast, GameStop's own stock jumped about 6% to $8 in after-hours trading (detailed below), indicating that the announcement had limited direct stimulus on Bitcoin's price, but market sentiment responded positively. In the short term, Bitcoin investors interpret GameStop's move as a positive sign, viewing it as another publicly traded company backing Bitcoin. However, since this initiative had been rumored before the announcement (for example, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen hinted at an interest in Bitcoin in February), the immediate volatility in Bitcoin's price was relatively mild, suggesting that some expectations had already been priced in by the market.
