GameStop Corp. ( GME ) shares surged Wednesday in premarket trading after the company announced the purchase of 4,710 Bitcoins (CRYPTO: BTC/USD), marking a significant step in its pivot toward digital assets.

This acquisition follows GameStop’s earlier decision to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, a move confirmed during its fourth-quarter earnings release.

As of May 27, 2025, the leading cryptocurrency briefly surged above $110,000 before retreating to the $108,000 range overnight. GameStop ( GME ) did not disclose the average purchase price of its 4,710 Bitcoins.

GameStop’s renewed embrace of digital assets comes as it looks to reshape its financial strategy amid declining core revenue.

The company’s adoption of Bitcoin reflects a broader corporate trend, with firms like MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) , Tesla , Block Inc. ( XYZ ) , and Semler Scientific ( SMLR ) also integrating digital assets into their treasuries as a diversification tool and a hedge against traditional market volatility.
