The additional notes were sold under a 13-day option granted to the initial purchaser, who exercised the so-called "greenshoe" option in full. The notes, due in 2032, can convert into GameStop Class A common shares at a price of $28.91, representing a 32.5% premium over the stock's volume-weighted average as of June 12, the time of the initial offering.
The capital will be used for general corporate purposes and "making investments in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy," which includes acquiring bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
GameStop is one of the growing cadre of publicly traded firms to pursue a crypto treasury strategy. They raise capital by selling shares and issuing debt to add cryptocurrencies such as BTC to their balance sheets, mirroring the playbook of Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR). The company made its initial acquisitions of bitcoin in May, buying 4,710 coins for about $500 million following a $1.3 billion convertible note offering.
GME shares are flat in Wednesday morning U.S. trading.
