【Crypto World】The recent move by retail gaming giant GameStop has sparked widespread discussion in the market. In mid to late January, they transferred 2,396 Bitcoins twice to a compliant custody platform, effectively moving 51% of their Bitcoin holdings out. Once this news broke, speculation began—could they be bottoming out and exiting?
The background is as follows: GameStop started accumulating Bitcoin in mid-2022, reaching a peak of 4,710 coins. By the end of Q3 last year, this holding was valued at $519.4 million. Now, suddenly transferring the assets to a custodian could easily be interpreted as a sell signal. However, such operations could also be routine asset reallocation, not necessarily indicating an intention to sell off. Whether this is a genuine exit or a false move remains to be seen.

They're starting to hype it up again. It's really hard to judge this move by GameStop—whether to sell or just simply adjust the position.

51% re-entrusted custody? This move by GameStop is hard to see through—are they going to dump the market or manage their assets? Keep a close watch.

Able to handle 51% position transfer custody, I really can't see through GameStop's move... If I really need to take action, should I just switch to a different vault for storage?

Re-entrustment = need to ship out? This logic is too assumptive; large institutions usually do this to adjust their position structure.
GameStop transfers 51% of Bitcoin holdings to the custodian, sell or fund adjustment?
