GameStop（NYSE：GME）揭幕了計劃提供13億美元的可兌換高級票據的私人發行

GameStop Corp.（NYSE：GME）宣布宣布涉足比特幣作為國庫券資產資產的第二天，揭幕了計劃的13億美元私人私人銷售可轉換高級票據的計劃。

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) is planning to raise $1.3 billion via a private offering of convertible senior notes, the video game retailer announced on Wednesday.

視頻遊戲零售商周三宣布，GameStop Corp.（NYSE：GME）計劃通過私人發行的可轉換高級票據籌集13億美元。

This comes a day after GameStop announced its inclusion of Bitcoin in its treasury reserve assets.

這是在Gamestop宣布將比特幣納入國庫儲備資產中的一天之後的一天。

The company intends to use the net proceeds “for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy,” it said in a statement.

該公司在一份聲明中說，本公司打算“用於一般公司目的，包括以與GameStop的投資政策一致的方式收購比特幣”。

GameStop will also grant the initial purchasers an option to buy up to an additional $200 million in notes. These notes will be general unsecured obligations of GameStop, will not bear regular interest, and will mature on April 1, 2030, unless converted, redeemed, or repurchased earlier. Upon conversion, GameStop will have the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of its Class A common stock, or a combination thereof.

GameStop還將授予初始購買者的選擇，以額外購買2億美元的票據。這些筆記將是GameStop的一般無抵押義務，不承受定期的興趣，除非更早地轉換，贖回或回購，否則將於2030年4月1日成熟。轉換後，GameStop可以選擇支付或交付現金，其A類普通股或其組合。

The announcement of this debt offering comes closely after GameStop announced on Tuesday that its board had approved an update to its investment policy to include Bitcoin and U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins as treasury reserve assets. The news sent GameStop shares up 16% on Wednesday, as investors reacted to the company’s move.

在GameStop週二宣布其董事會批准其投資政策的最新消息以包括比特幣和以美元計價的Stablecoins作為國庫券儲備資產，宣布該債務發行的宣布緊密進行。隨著投資者對公司的搬遷做出反應，該消息在周三向GameStop分享了16％。

However, the enthusiasm was dampened somewhat by the subsequent announcement of the $1.3 billion debt offering. In after-market trading on Wednesday, GameStop shares dropped by 8%, erasing a significant portion of the day’s earlier gains. Investors appear to be considering the implications of holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet versus taking on a substantial amount of debt.

但是，隨後宣布耗資13億美元的債務發行，這種熱情在某種程度上受到了抑制。在周三的售後交易中，GameStop的股票下跌了8％，消除了當天早期的大部分收益。投資者似乎正在考慮在資產負債表上持有比特幣的含義，而不是承擔大量債務。

Convertible senior notes are debt securities that can be converted into equity (in this case, GameStop’s Class A common stock) at a later date, typically at the holder’s option. This type of financing has been notably employed by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which has amassed a Bitcoin treasury valued at over $40 billion and has seen a strong correlation between its stock price and the price of Bitcoin.

可轉換的高級票據是債務證券，可以在以後將其轉換為股權（在這種情況下為GameStop的A類普通股），通常是按照持有人的選擇。這種類型的融資已被戰略（以前是MicroStrategy）採用，該戰略積累了價值超過400億美元的比特幣國庫，其股價與比特幣價格之間存在很強的相關性。

GameStop’s move to raise a substantial sum through convertible debt to purchase Bitcoin closely follows Strategy’s approach. GameStop reported having $4.8 billion in cash during its fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, and this debt offering will significantly increase its financial resources for its new investment strategy.

GameStop通過可轉換債務籌集大量款項以遵循策略的方法來籌集大量款項。 GameStop報告說，在周二的第四季度收益期間，其現金為48億美元，這種債務發行將大大增加其新投資策略的財務資源。

GameStop stock closed at $28.36 on Wednesday, down 9.5% year to date.

GameStop股票週三收於28.36美元，迄今為止下跌了9.5％。
