#GameStopBitcoinReserve

GameStop's rumored Bitcoin reserve strategy has sent shockwaves through both crypto and traditional markets, reviving memories of the 2021 short squeeze phenomenon. The struggling retailer's potential pivot to holding BTC as a treasury asset—mirroring MicroStrategy's playbook—could trigger massive volatility in the final hours of this countdown. On-chain data shows unusual whale activity in Bitcoin derivatives, with open interest spiking 18% on CME as institutional traders position for possible market impact.

While unconfirmed, the speculation alone has lifted BTC above $26,500, though technical resistance at $26,800 remains strong. Retail traders are flooding crypto subreddits with memes, creating the perfect storm for a potential "gamma squeeze" if options markets get overheated.
