GameStop Borrows Strategy Playbook, Plans to Raise $1.3 Billion to Buy Bitcoin - Decrypt

GameStop said it plans to offer to $1.3 billion worth of convertible senior notes to buy Bitcoin, following the approach of Strategy.

Video game retailer GameStop said on Wednesday that it plans to offer up to $1.3 billion worth of convertible senior notes to investors, taking a page straight out of Strategy's Bitcoin-buying playbook.

The Texas-based firm said in a press release that proceeds from the sale will be used for "general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin." The announcement comes one day after GameStop said it could purchase Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset following an update to the company's investment policy.
