GameStop筹集高达$ 1.3B来购买比特币

GameStop正在为重大加密货币发挥作用，并计划通过可转换债务来筹集高达13亿美元，以增加其比特币储备。

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）宣布了计划向合格的机构买家发行可转换高级票据，最高13亿美元。该公司还批准了初始购买者13天的选择，以额外收购2亿美元的票据。

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.

票据将于2030年4月1日成熟，不会引起任何兴趣。票据将以91股普通股的初始转换率，每1,000美元的本金票据的初始转换率可转换为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.

这些笔记是GameStop在本周早些时候宣布的更广泛投资比特币战略的一部分。公司董事会已批准了一项投资政策，该政策允许该公司收购和持有包括比特币在内的宏观经济资产。

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在另一份文件中说，它计划将产品从产品中筹集的资金用于一般公司目的，其中可能包括投资比特币。

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的举动是出于其他几家公司，例如Michael Saylor的MicroStrategy（MSTR）和Semler Scientific（SMLR），已经发行了可转换债务以购买比特币。

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于2015年开始购买比特币，此后积累了世界上最大的企业比特币国库之一。 Saylor的公司因其比特币战略而面临一些投资者的批评，但MicroStrategy坚持认为，这是为股东创造价值的长期计划的一部分。

“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需要购买多少比特币来获得比特币的尊重？”塞勒在X上的帖子中问，以前称为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.

在该公司透露计划筹集比特币资金的计划之后，周三下班后交易中，GME股票下跌了8％以上。这是因为该公司宣布其董事会一致批准在其国库券储备资产中添加比特币，这是在今天早些时候的GameStop股票增长12％之后。

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.

投资者可能会担心可转换票据的潜在股份稀释，这可能导致股价下跌。但是，就像Microstrategy的比特币战略增强了MSTR，GameStop的举动可能会推动其股票的长期增长。

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

比特币已从早期的低点恢复过来，在短暂降至86,000美元后上升至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计划的比特币投资遵循了一个月前CNBC的报告，该公司正在探索加密货币。首席执行官瑞安·科恩（Ryan Cohen）的帖子与Microstrategy的Michael Saylor持有超过447,000比特币的兴趣进一步激发了人们对加密货币的兴趣。

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.

尽管Microstrategy的比特币BET在过去一年中已将其股票提高了84％，但华尔街的投资者和分析师对GameStop是否可以通过加密货币搬迁来复制其股票价格的类似上涨。
