Options Market Statistics: GameStop's Shift to Crypto Sparks Stock Surge


$GameStop(GME)$   shares surged 11% in Thursday's trading. The most traded calls are contracts of $30 strike price that expire on Mar 28 and the total volume reaching 72,433 with the open interest of 25,763.

GameStop's board has decided to invest in Bitcoin as part of its financial strategy. This means the company will hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset, similar to what other businesses have done.

GameStop is following a trend started by Michael Saylor, whose company bought over $40 billion worth of Bitcoin, leading to a massive stock price increase.

Last month, GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen hinted at this move by posting a photo with Saylor on social media. The company hasn't set a limit on how much Bitcoin it will buy and says it may sell its Bitcoin anytime, according to its SEC filing.

There was a noteworthy activity in $GameStop(GME)$  , with $29 puts topping the highest volume to open interest ranking. The highest volume over open interest ratio reaches 153.4x with 16,104 contracts.
