GameStop’s Bold Move: From $1.75B to $2.25B – What Could Go Wrong? 😅

by

In a press release that could rival the most dramatic of stage plays, GameStop announced on June 12 that these notes, which, mind you, do not pay interest (because who needs that?), are due in 2032. They will be sold privately to large institutional investors, those mysterious figures who seem to have more money than sense. And just to spice things up, GameStop has thrown in the option for buyers to purchase an additional $450 million worth of notes, potentially bringing the grand total to a dizzying $2.7 billion.

by

The scheme is simple, maybe even elegant: bundle up XRP, stake it like fortune’s prisoner, and earn that sweet, theoretical yield. All this while courting DeFi partners—the collective genius of strangers on the internet—and raising funds the old-fashioned way: equity, strategic handshakes, mysterious “structured financing.” Are these “strong partnerships” or “favorable terms” real? Or specters shimmering over the tundra? Hard to say. The press release suggests optimism. The markets, on the other hand…
