GameStop shares tank on convertible bond offering to potentially buy more bitcoin

GameStop shares took a hit after the company announced plans for a $1.75 billion convertible notes offering to fund its new bitcoin purchase strategy. The retailer intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments and potential acquisitions. Last month, GameStop made headlines by purchasing 4,710 bitcoins, worth over half a billion dollars.

Following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy, GameStop is venturing into the world of cryptocurrency as a way to diversify its assets. MicroStrategy, now known as Strategy, has become the largest corporate holder of bitcoin after investing billions in the digital currency, leading to a surge in its stock price.

CEO Ryan Cohen cited macro concerns as the driving force behind GameStop’s decision to buy bitcoin. With its fixed supply and decentralized nature, bitcoin is seen as a hedge against certain risks. However, the move comes at a time when GameStop reported a decline in revenue in the first quarter, with a 17% drop year-over-year to $732.4 million.

Wall Street remains skeptical about GameStop’s ability to replicate MicroStrategy’s success. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter reiterated his underperform rating on the stock, noting that the company has relied on the willingness of “greater fools” to pay high premiums for its shares. Pachter also questioned the logic behind GameStop’s bitcoin buying strategy, as the company is already trading at 2.4 times its cash value and may not see a significant premium by converting more cash into crypto.

Despite the market reaction, GameStop is forging ahead with its cryptocurrency strategy, signaling a new chapter in the company’s evolution. As the retail landscape continues to evolve, GameStop’s foray into bitcoin may prove to be a pivotal moment in its journey towards digital transformation.
