Bitcoin won't save GameStop (GME), says Lee Munson. He argues the company has put too many eggs in the crypto basket and will backfire on the company. Spencer Hakimian goes deeper on the "meme stock" and worries that GameStop is too pricey to be a "middle man" for Bitcoin. While he doesn't see it being the key focus in earnings, Spencer wants to learn how tariffs on China are affecting hardware sales.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Gaming Roundtable, where hosts Brian, Mark, Chrono, and Scrag dive into a significant week in gaming. The discussion kicks off with insights into the Nintendo Switch 2's launch, highlighting the excitement and the minor hiccup labeled as 'Staplegate' where GameStop's practice of stapling receipts led to some damaged screens. But not to worry, replacements are on the way! The hosts passionately explore the nostalgia-driven gaming landscape, questioning if games priced at a premium are sustainable and delving into the remaster of the beloved Final Fantasy Tactics. With Square Enix's collaboration with Yoshi P's studio, the remaster introduces enhanced visuals and voice acting, re-envisioning the classic tactical RPG experience for a new generation. The conversation shifts to the PlayStation State of Play, where a Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works and a retro Mortal Kombat collection spark interests and discussions on the evolution of game design over the years. This week's episode also features a closer look at the newfound ease of online gaming on Switch 2, comparing social features to those of other platforms, and reminiscing about missed midnight launches in the changing retail landscape. Join the Gaming Roundtable crew for an engaging chat on potential Final Fantasy 9 announcements, discussions around the future of VR, and the value of cross-progression and cross-play in gaming today. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore enthusiast, there's something for everyone in this episode!

Public crypto treasury companies are in the news right now. Just this week, Sharplink Gaming announced a $425 million raise to create an Ethereum treasury vehicle, backed by Consensys. Meanwhile, Trump Media said it will buy $2.5 billion worth of bitcoin. And in a headline grab, GameStop revealed a $500 million Bitcoin purchase. There's even a newly launched XRP treasury company backed by Saudi royal capital. But why are these vehicles suddenly the structure of choice for accessing crypto exposure? What kinds of assets are best suited for them? And are they safe or a ticking time bomb?

This week, Ryan and David break down the political storm brewing around crypto. From JD Vance's fiery speech at Bitcoin 2025 to the Trump meme coin dinner that triggered bipartisan backlash. They dive into Ethereum's biggest capital inflow yet, as a public company raises $425 million to buy and stake ETH, drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy. They also cover the court ruling that halted Trump-era tariffs, the Circle IPO finally moving forward, and early signs of a “Stablecoin Summer” as banks eye their own dollar-backed coins. Plus, the growing risks of copycat crypto acquisition vehicles, and why some say the next GBTC-style blowup could already be forming. ------
Elon Musk has officially announced he's stepping down as a U.S. special government employee and the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE. The move follows Musk's cooling relationship with the Trump administration and slumping Tesla sales tied to his political advocacy. Today on Equity, Kirsten, Max and Anthony unpack who else is departing DOGE, and why Silicon Valley's relationship with politics is entering, as Kirsten put it, the “find out” stage.

STORIES MENTIONED:1. Sam's Club Launches Online Pizza Delivery
En dat is misschien een verrassing als je naar de huidige cijfers kijkt. Die blijven bizar goed. Beleggers hebben moeite om er negatieve punten in te vinden. Maar dat hoeven ze ook niet, want topman Jensen Huang licht ze er zelf even uit. Hij heeft wederom kritiek op het Witte Huis. Met hun exportrestricties levert de VS hem een min van 8 miljard dollar op zijn kwartaalrekening op. Maar hij lijkt nog steeds niet helemaal eerlijk. De impact van Trump kan nog veel groter zijn dan de topman nu beweert. Daarnaast hoor je ook wat je gemist hebt in de handelsoorlog de afgelopen dagen. Een dag niet opletten betekent namelijk meteen een hele hoop ontwikkelingen missen. Zoals de rechter die een streep door zo ongeveer alle importheffingen zet. En vervolgens ook weer de melding dat er een streep door die streep gaat zolang het hoger beroep loopt. Dan zijn er ook nog die gesprekken met China. Die verlopen niet stroef, maar staan zelfs 'een beetje vast', zegt Financiënminister Scott Bessent. Het is nodig dat de presidenten persoonlijk met elkaar gaan praten. Maar of ze dat ook echt gaan doen, dat blijft de vraag. En verder vertellen we je over het onderonsje tussen Donald Trump en Jerome Powell. Die zou niet heel vriendschappelijk zijn verlopen. Trump vindt dat Powell een fout maakt doordat hij de rente niet verlaagt. En Powell zou een poging hebben gedaan om z'n acties uit te leggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Media, GameStop, Joe Lubin, and a growing list of others are embracing the Michael Saylor playbook—raising massive capital to load up on Bitcoin. Today on The Breakdown, NLW unpacks the explosion of MicroStrategy-style public vehicles, the reflexive loop driving investor FOMO, and whether this leverage injection is a new frontier for Bitcoin-based finance—or a looming gray swan.

GameStop's (GME) move to buy Bitcoin (/BTC) has some calling it a clever attempt to grab attention and create volatility in the stock. Tom Essaye thinks it's a "gimmick" that distracts from the company's larger issue - a declining core business. While he applauds GameStop's ingenuity, he believes they need a credible plan to create long-term value, beyond just buying and holding trendy assets like Bitcoin.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Ernesto desmonta mitos sobre el “dinero rápido”, explica el fenómeno de GameStop y Reddit, y resalta por qué la bolsa americana —regulada y segura— es una vía real para multiplicar tu capital a largo plazo. Una conversación que te abre los ojos sobre la importancia de la educación financiera y la mentalidad correcta para invertir.

This week we're checking out a show about video games. Two dudes who worked together at Game Stop 20 years ago talk about their passion for video games.

Trucker Andy joins us live in studio to discuss bald guys showing photos of themselves wearing emo wigs and thinking they're hot. Cringe of the Week includes Dave and Chuck the Freak cutting an embarrassing promo and Zac Amico losing it on his guest Akeem Woods. We get into a time machine to learn that Anthony Cumia was actually offered Opie's job 30 years ago. Myster Magenta sent in a hilarious parody song about Aaron Imholte.
