Popular Economist Mocks GameStop’s Bitcoin Plans

GameStop's potential Bitcoin investment has drawn criticism from Peter Schiff, who dismissed the move as a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

The outspoken Bitcoin skeptic argued that both GameStop and Bitcoin are overpriced, suggesting the retailer’s plan is more about boosting its stock than securing a solid financial strategy.

The announcement sent GME shares soaring 20%, echoing the 2021 meme stock frenzy that shook Wall Street.

While some companies have successfully integrated Bitcoin into their balance sheets—most notably MicroStrategy—Schiff believes that without a strong business foundation, simply adding Bitcoin won’t guarantee long-term success.

GameStop is still evaluating its crypto investment options and has yet to make a final decision. CEO Ryan Cohen recently shared a photo with MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, sparking speculation, though reports suggest Saylor isn’t directly involved.

This wouldn’t be GameStop’s first venture into crypto; in 2022, the company launched a digital wallet service, only to shut it down a year later due to regulatory concerns.
