Well, wouldn’t you know it, GameStop has gone and splashed a cool $1.5 billion on Bitcoin, as they told the SEC, those chaps who keep an eye on all the financial shenanigans. Apparently, they did this private offering thing, not the usual public fanfare. 😮
Now, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill bonds, mind you. No interest rate for these. They’re like those fancy zero-percent credit cards, except instead of buying a new toaster, you’re buying a piece of the Bitcoin pie. 🥧
Naturally, the stock took a tumble when everyone heard about this Bitcoin business. Went down from $28.36 to $22.09, faster than a chap in a panic can drop a tray of teacups. But the GameStop lot are undeterred! They’ve set this conversion rate, see, 33.4970 shares per $1,000, which makes it all sound rather complicated. 🤔
They can only redeem these notes after April 6, 2028, unless the stock price goes up like a rocket. Then, they’re out. Investors can cash in early too, under certain circumstances. Like, if the company gets taken over by a band of marauding squirrels, I suppose. 🐿️
Now, the filing says these notes are unsecured, which means if GameStop goes belly up, the investors are out of luck. 😕 So, not exactly a risk-free investment, eh?
Joining the Whales
GameStop might end up rubbing shoulders with the big boys, those Bitcoin whales. You know, the likes of the US government, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), and Tether, those chaps behind USDT. 🐋
They could be sitting on a pile of over 17,700 Bitcoin, if they play their cards right. Which, considering they’re in the video game business, isn’t necessarily guaranteed. 🎮
Of course, there’s always Michael Saylor, the Bitcoin enthusiast extraordinaire, leading the pack with over half a million Bitcoin. He’s like the king of the Bitcoin jungle, roaring with every price spike. 👑
Tether isn’t far behind, with a substantial stash of its own. It’s all very exciting, really, this Bitcoin business. Just don’t go investing your life savings on it, eh? Unless you’re feeling lucky. 😉
