    GameStop pulls a Microstrategy

    We dive into GameStop's surprising announcement to raise $1.3 billion in convertible notes, potentially to buy Bitcoin. The hosts explore how this connects to the 2021 meme stock saga that gave GameStop its massive cash position, Ryan Cohen's relationship with Michael Saylor, and whether this Bitcoin strategy is a life raft for a retail gaming business in decline. With GameStop's revenue dropping from $8.5B to $3.8B over eight years, is this a smart pivot or just vibe investing? Notes: - GameStop announces $1.3B convertible note offering - Revenue declined from $8.5B to $3.8B in 8 years - Company has $4.76B cash on balance sheet - Cash position largely from 2021 meme stock frenzy - Zero debt after paying off all loans - Saylor posted photo with Ryan Cohen: "Team Bitcoin" Check out our Bitcoin scaling conference!
