GameStop Slides Another 6% as Investors Sell the Bitcoin Buy News

Published

on

GameStop (GME) shares dropped nearly another 6% on Thursday as investors continued to sell the news of the company’s disclosure of its initial bitcoin acquisitons.

The company on Wednesday morning said it had acquired 4,710 bitcoin — a long-awaited move tied to its crypto treasury strategy revealed in March. At that time, the company initiated a $1.3 billion capital raise to help fund BTC purchases.

The stock plunged shortly after alongside a steep drop in broader markets on the Trump Liberation Day tariff announcements. Shares, though, bottomed along with markets mid-month and rose more than 60% in the weeks leading up to the Wednesday announcement.

The decline since — now nearing 20% — could be little more than investors selling the news after the big run higher or could be investor exhaustion with corporate bitcoin treasury strategies, which seemingly have been coming at the rate of one or more per day for several weeks.

In addition, GameStop’s acquisition of «just» roughly $500 million of bitcoin (the dates and prices of the buys weren’t disclosed) could be a disappointment given the company’s $1.3 billion capital raise, not to mention several billion dollars in free cash that was already on the balance sheet. With a market cap of $14 billion, the company’s bitcoin purchase was relatively modest.

  • A powerful breakout occurred during the 13:00 hour, with BCH surging to $416.958 on the highest hourly volume (28,068 units).
  • Price established a new resistance-turned-support level at $409.800, with momentum indicators suggesting potential for continued upside.

Crypto’s Most Watched Whale Gets Fully Liquidated After Placing Billions in Risky Bets

Published

By

James Wynn, the trader whose risky moves on Hyperliquid captivated crypto watchers this month, has been fully liquidated.

He ended a volatile month with just $23 left in his account, according to HyperDash data.

Wynn built his reputation and following by placing massive, leveraged on-chain trades across bitcoin BTC, PEPE PEPE, and other tokens.

His downfall began with a $1.25 billion long position on BTC that unraveled as prices dropped below $105,000 amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. That trade alone cost him more than $37 million after fees.

The trader briefly pivoted to memecoins like PEPE, where one long position initially gained over 10%, before market swings liquidated him again.

Over the course of the month, Wynn cycled through assets including ETH, SUI, TRUMP, and even FARTCOIN. His trades at one point saw him achieve an unrealized gain of $85 million.

An account associated with Wynn on X commented on the liquidation and dismissed the losses. “I’ll run it back, I always do. And I’ll enjoy doing it. I like playing the game,” the account wrote on X. “I took a large and calculated bet at making billions.”
