For the fourth quarter, GameStop reported net income of $131.3 million, more than double the $63.1 million earned during the same period last year. For the full 2024 fiscal year, the company disclosed profits of $131 million on sales of $3.8 billion, primarily from selling video game hardware and accessories.

Some Wall Street analysts remain skeptical about GameStop's Bitcoin strategy.

一些华尔街分析师对GameStop的比特币策略仍然持怀疑态度。

"I think they're trying to pivot the business in response to the fact that their core video game business continues to decline rapidly, and I think they're getting frustrated by that fact," said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.

Wedbush分析师Michael Pachter说：“我认为他们正在试图回应他们的核心视频游戏业务继续迅速下降的事实，我认为这一事实使他们感到沮丧。”

"The problem with that thinking is MicroStrategy trades at about two times their bitcoin holdings. If GameStop were to buy all bitcoin with their $4.6 billion in cash and trade at two times [their bitcoin holdings,] the stock would drop five bucks."

“这种想法的问题在于微型流通贸易的比特币持有量的两倍。如果Gamestop要以46亿美元的现金和交易（他们的比特币持有量）购买全比特币，那么股票将降低5美元。”
