March 26, 2025 — while some investors are monitoring GameStop shares, others have hit the jackpot with meme tokens inspired by this gaming empire. On Tuesday, the company's board approved the purchase of bitcoins as a reserve asset, and the market reacted instantly. GameStop Coin on BNB Chain skyrocketed by 451% in a day, while GME on the Solana blockchain surged by 41% in minutes, although it later retraced by 18%.
The reason for this chaos? GameStop announced that it would spend part of its revenue and funds from securities on BTC. With $4.7 billion on the balance sheet (as of the year ending February 1, 2025), the company has enough leverage. Over the year, revenue reached $1.3 billion, and profit grew to $131.3 million — twice as much as the previous year. Unlike the unprofitable Strategy, GameStop can afford a crypto-adventure without excessive borrowing.
Meme token traders, sensing the news, turned speculation into gold. While some celebrate million-dollar profits, the company warns in a report to the SEC: "Bitcoin is a volatile asset, our strategy is untested and could collapse." But the market is already in euphoria, and meme tokens have become an unexpected beneficiary of this turn. GameStop proves once again: even in 2025, it knows how to keep everyone on their toes.
