GameStop籌集高達$ 1.3B來購買比特幣

GameStop正在為重大加密貨幣發揮作用，併計劃通過可轉換債務來籌集高達13億美元，以增加其比特幣儲備。

GameStop (GME) announced plans to issue convertible senior notes for up to $1.3 billion to qualified institutional buyers. The company also granted the initial purchasers a 13-day option to buy up to an additional $200 million in notes.

GameStop（GME）宣布了計劃向合格的機構買家發行可轉換高級票據，最高13億美元。該公司還批准了初始購買者13天的選擇，以額外收購2億美元的票據。

The notes will mature on April 1, 2030, and will bear no interest. The notes will be convertible into shares of GameStop common stock at an initial conversion rate of 91 shares of common stock for every $1,000 principal amount of notes.

票據將於2030年4月1日成熟，不會引起任何興趣。票據將以91股普通股的初始轉換率，每1,000美元的本金票據的初始轉換率可轉換為GameStop普通股。

The notes are part of GameStop’s broader strategy to invest in Bitcoin, which was announced earlier this week. The company’s board of directors has approved an Investment Policy that permits the company to acquire and hold macroeconomic assets, including Bitcoin.

這些筆記是GameStop在本週早些時候宣布的更廣泛投資比特幣戰略的一部分。公司董事會已批准了一項投資政策，該政策允許該公司收購和持有包括比特幣在內的宏觀經濟資產。

In a separate filing, GameStop said it plans to use the funds raised from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in Bitcoin.

GameStop在另一份文件中說，它計劃將產品從產品中籌集的資金用於一般公司目的，其中可能包括投資比特幣。

GameStop’s move comes as several other companies, such as Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Semler Scientific (SMLR), have issued convertible debt to fund bitcoin purchases.

GameStop的舉動是出於其他幾家公司，例如Michael Saylor的MicroStrategy（MSTR）和Semler Scientific（SMLR），已經發行了可轉換債務以購買比特幣。

MicroStrategy began buying bitcoin in 2015, and has since amassed one of the largest corporate bitcoin treasuries in the world. Saylor’s company has faced criticism from some investors for its bitcoin strategy, but MicroStrategy has maintained that it is part of a long-term plan to create value for shareholders.

MicroStrategy於2015年開始購買比特幣，此後積累了世界上最大的企業比特幣國庫之一。 Saylor的公司因其比特幣戰略而面臨一些投資者的批評，但MicroStrategy堅持認為，這是為股東創造價值的長期計劃的一部分。

“How much Bitcoin does $GME need to buy to gain the respect of Bitcoiners?” Saylor asked in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“ $ GME需要購買多少比特幣來獲得比特幣的尊重？”塞勒在X上的帖子中問，以前稱為Twitter。

GME stock dropped more than 8% in after-hours trading Wednesday after the company revealed plans to raise funds for Bitcoin. This follows a 12% surge in GameStop shares earlier today as the company announced that its board of directors had unanimously approved adding Bitcoin to its treasury reserve assets.

在該公司透露計劃籌集比特幣資金的計劃之後，週三下班後交易中，GME股票下跌了8％以上。這是因為該公司宣布其董事會一致批准在其國庫券儲備資產中添加比特幣，這是在今天早些時候的GameStop股票增長12％之後。

Investors could be concerned about potential share dilution from the convertible notes, which could lead to a drop in the stock price. However, like MicroStrategy’s bitcoin strategy has boosted MSTR, GameStop’s move could drive long-term growth for its stock.

投資者可能會擔心可轉換票據的潛在股份稀釋，這可能導致股價下跌。但是，就像Microstrategy的比特幣戰略增強了MSTR，GameStop的舉動可能會推動其股票的長期增長。

Bitcoin has recovered from earlier lows, rising to $87,000 after briefly dipping to $86,000.

比特幣已從早期的低點恢復過來，在短暫降至86,000美元後上升至87,000美元。

GameStop’s planned bitcoin investment follows reports from CNBC a month earlier that the company was exploring cryptocurrency. The interest in crypto was further fueled by CEO Ryan Cohen’s post with MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, who holds over 447,000 Bitcoins.

GameStop計劃的比特幣投資遵循了一個月前CNBC的報告，該公司正在探索加密貨幣。首席執行官瑞安·科恩（Ryan Cohen）的帖子與Microstrategy的Michael Saylor持有超過447,000比特幣的興趣進一步激發了人們對加密貨幣的興趣。

While MicroStrategy’s bitcoin bet has boosted its stock by 84% over the past year, investors and analysts on Wall Street are skeptical about whether GameStop can replicate a similar surge in its stock price with its crypto move.

儘管Microstrategy的比特幣BET在過去一年中已將其股票提高了84％，但華爾街的投資者和分析師對GameStop是否可以通過加密貨幣搬遷來複製其股票價格的類似上漲。
