Bitcoin and crypto, in general, allow retail investors to influence market dynamics that were dominated by institutional players.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the catalyst for GME\u2019s roar came from a social media post by Cohen over the weekend. The image depicted Cohen alongside Saylor, a well-known advocate for Bitcoin with Strategy that has made headlines for its massive Bitcoin holding.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>GME Price Analysis: Is GameStop Heading For a Major Comeback?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>GameStop has flirted with the crypto in the past. In 2022, the company experimented with web3 by offering a crypto wallet. However, the wallet was discontinued in late 2023 due to what GameStop cited as \u201cregulatory uncertainty\u201d in crypto. This Cohen-Saylor photo shows whether GameStop might be reconsidering its view on crypto.<\/p>\n<p>The market reacted quickly to the Cohen-Saylor photo, with GameStop\u2019s stock closing up 9.6% at $27.15 after trading as high as 10.2% during the day. This spike represents one of the month\u2019s highest closing prices for GameStop stock.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Strategy\u2019s stock also saw an increase, closing up over 2% at $334.62, a positive market sentiment as Bitcoin pumps too.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-203137\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"GAMESTOP COHEN MICHAEL SAYLOR STRATEGY CRYPTO GME roar came from a social media post photo of Cohen alongside Michael Saylor, an advocate for Bitcoin with Strategy \" width=\"2048\" height=\"1457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-1536x1093.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GMEUSD-50x36.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"><\/p>\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/?symbol=NYSE%3AGME\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener nofollow\"><strong>GMEUSD<\/strong><\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>Speculation on Gamestop Comeback?<\/h2>\n<p>Under Michael Saylor\u2019s leadership, Strategy has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. They currently boast approximately $47 billion worth of crypto, accounting for roughly 2.5% of the total Bitcoin supply.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor\u2019s public endorsements and strategic decisions have historically influenced market perceptions of Bitcoin\u2019s value and utility as an institutional investment.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto community is now hoping for GameStop to adopt a similar way to Strategy by investing and\/or integrating Bitcoin into its business. This could transform GameStop from a traditional video game retailer into a company with a stake in Bitcoin and crypto.<\/p>\n<p>By holding Bitcoin, GameStop could diversify its asset base, reducing its reliance on the video game market. It will also attract a new demographic of GME investors who are interested in the growth of crypto. Integrating Bitcoin could position GameStop as a pioneer in retail, offering new services like crypto payments or revitalizing its digital wallet service.<\/p>\n<p>GameStop\u2019s stock pump clearly indicates how quickly market sentiment can shift based on speculation. The meme stock phenomenon, which saw GameStop at the center of attention in 2021, seems to have left a lasting imprint on how retail investors react to news and social media cues.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement of figures like Cohen and Saylor, both known for their bold business moves, adds an extra layer of bullishness for the crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>Montoya, por favor, never underestimate retailers and their <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt13957560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener nofollow\">dumb money<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/analysis\/top-crypto-trends-for-bull-run\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crypto Trends For Bullrun \u2013 January 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow nofollow\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/gamestop-gme-roars-9-as-saylor-triggers-bitcoin-rumor\/\">GameStop (GME) Roars +9% As Saylor Triggers Bitcoin Rumor<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GameStop (GME) is roaring, jumping by 9% on Monday, February 11, 2025.
