GameStop has revealed a strategic shift in its bitcoin holdings, utilizing 4,709 BTC in an options income strategy with Coinbase. According to its annual report, the video game retailer pledged nearly its entire bitcoin position to Coinbase as part of an over-the-counter covered-call strategy. This move, initially sparking speculation of a sell-off, aims to generate income through option premiums with strike prices between $105,000 and $110,000, expiring by late March. The strategy has resulted in a $0.7 million liability and a $2.3 million unrealized gain. GameStop's approach marks a departure from its previous buy-and-hold strategy, as the pledged bitcoin is now classified as a receivable rather than a direct holding. This change reflects the ability of Coinbase to rehypothecate the assets. At the fiscal year-end, the receivables linked to the pledged bitcoin were valued at $368.3 million, with a $59.7 million unrealized loss due to bitcoin's price decline.
