GameStop Falls 22% After Bitcoin Announcement and Spike in Short Selling
GameStop (NYSE:GME) dropped 22% on March 27 after revealing plans to invest in Bitcoin (BTC-USD), triggering a surge in short selling and activating a short sale restriction on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock had briefly risen 12% after the announcement but reversed course as short volume jumped 234%, totaling nearly 31 million sharesits second-largest one-day spike, according to TradingView. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with GME. The drop triggered the restriction rule after shares fell more than 10% from the prior close. Kevin Malone, CEO of Malone Wealth, claimed on X that trading volumes pointed to possible naked short selling. GameStop also announced a $1.3 billion convertible notes offering, drawing analyst pushback. Tom Sosnoff, CEO of Tastylive, said the move looked like a fallback after failing to find better investments. The Bitcoin move drew comparisons to Strategy's (NASDAQ:MSTR) 2021 play. But analysts said GameStop's struggling business makes it a riskier bet. Wedbush's Michael Pachter questioned why investors would pay double the company's cash just for crypto exposure. The reaction highlights investor doubts about GameStop's direction in the digital asset space. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

GameStop's bitcoin move feels 'dot-com' era move, trader argues
GME) shares jumped after announcing it was going to start adding bitcoin (BTC-USD) to its reserves, though the shares reversed course in after-hours trading on Wednesday after revealing how it was going to raise funds to buy the cryptocurrency. One person who is not a fan of the move is tastylive Founder and CEO Tom Sosnoff, who argues it feels like a move from the dot-com bubble. Find out why in the video above.

Let me get your take on some some specific names that I know are on your radar, um Tom, one was GameStop, um, rare analysts knowing, listen, rare operating profit there for its holiday quarter. I'm curious, you look at that name, you see what? Well, I looked at the, you know, GameStop's funny cuz I traded it for earnings last last night. And um, you know, we were kind of put sellers like we always are for earnings. And it worked out, but it worked out for all the crazy reasons, which was I I actually hated the news in GameStop today. Not because they missed their earnings or any of that kind of stuff, really because I don't consider it's an interesting business model to me to Why why not, Tom? Why why do you say that? Well, because it feels it feels a little dot-com-ish to me. It feels a little like, oh, I'm going to throw a .com on the end of my name. I'm going to buy some Bitcoin with our excess cash because we can't find a company that's going to be accretive. We can't find innovation that's going to help us build the company. We're just going to buy some digital assets because it has asymmetric upside and because the volatility is trading higher than, you know, some multiple of risk-free rates. I mean, that's the logic there. I absolutely hate that. I think it's it's way too much Ponzi scheme-ish to me. And if it backfires on a principle basis, I don't like it at all.
