GameStop Surges to 33rd in Trading Volume with $1.5 Billion Day as Bitcoin Investment Looms

On March 26, 2025, GameStop's trading volume reached $1.5 billion, marking a significant 466.53% increase from the previous day. This surge placed GameStop at the 33rd position in terms of trading volume for the day. The stock price of GameStop (GME) rose by 11.65%.

GameStop has announced a proposed private offering of $1.3 billion in convertible senior notes. These notes are set to mature on April 1, 2030, unless they are earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The company plans to use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and to purchase Bitcoin (BTC).

This move by GameStop is seen as a strategic decision to diversify its financial portfolio and potentially benefit from the rising value of Bitcoin. The company's decision to follow a similar path as MicroStrategy, which has also invested heavily in Bitcoin, indicates a growing trend among traditional companies to explore cryptocurrency as a viable investment option.
