For a stock that was so widely loved and hated at the same time, GameStop (GME) has sort of wilted away from the public eye. Once the center of the Reddit r/WallStreetBets, GME shares have been trading in the $20 for most of the last year, save for a brief stop into the $30s. After the bell Tuesday, GME announced earnings of 30 cents on revenues of $1.28 billion. Important to note, free cash flow came in at $158.8 million this year versus a loss of $18.7 million last year.

That wasn’t the biggest news of the day though. Biggest news was that the board unanimously approved an update to its investment policy to add Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, opening the door for GME to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Probably would have been great to add that BTC a few years ago but better late than never I suppose. GME has over $4.7 billion in cash right now. A hefty sum for a company with a market cap of $11.35 billion.
