GameStop Corp., led by CEO Ryan Cohen, has announced plans to add Bitcoin to its corporate treasury. The company recently closed a $1.5 billion capital raise, with the funds primarily allocated for Bitcoin acquisition. The board approved the plan in late March, leveraging the company's $6 billion cash reserves. In line with this strategy, Cohen purchased an additional 500,000 shares of GameStop stock at $21.55 per share, totaling approximately $10.8 million. This raises his ownership stake to 8.4%, or 37.3 million shares, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
