GameStop to close 'significant number' of stores in 2025, invest in bitcoin

In this news:

GameStop said it anticipates closing a "significant number" of additional stores this fiscal year and revised its investment policy, paving the way for the video game retailer to invest in bitcoin. The company announced the revision of its investment policy to include bitcoin "as a treasury reserve asset" on Tuesday. GameStop said a "portion of our cash or future debt and equity issuances may be invested in Bitcoin" now that its investment policy has been changed, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. "We have not set a maximum amount of Bitcoin we may accumulate, and may sell any Bitcoin we may acquire," GameStop said.

"The overall goals of the Investment Policy are to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the day-to-day financial obligations of the Company, and to optimize investment returns within the guidelines of the Investment Policy," GameStop said. Shares of GameStop climbed on the news.
