GameStop (GME) CEO Ryan Cohen increased his stake following the company’s initiation of Bitcoin (BTC) investments.
According to GameStop’s disclosure (SEC) to the Securities and Exchange Commission last week, Cohen has purchased an additional 500,000 shares of the company’s Class A common stock, making a total investment of approximately $10.78 million. This acquisition brought the total number of shares owned by Cohen to 37,347,842, allowing him to hold 8.4% of the company’s entire stock.
This purchase occurred after the GameStop board of directors approved a plan at the end of March to evaluate part of the company’s cash reserves by investing in BTC. Additionally, the company issued $1.5 billion worth of convertible bonds for Bitcoin purchases, and this fundraising operation was completed this week.
GameStop shares, despite showing a decrease of over 7% following President Trump’s tariff announcements, have experienced a slight increase in the current pre-market.
