#384 - Dr Toghrul Aliyev: GameStop’s Next Chapter: $6 Billion and a Bitcoin Treasury
ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com In this episode, Dr. Aliyev shares his unexpected journey from a university student with little investing experience to becoming a prominent research analyst, and how a viral Reddit post about cryptocurrency launched his career in finance writing. The conversation covers the evolution of GameStop after its infamous short squeeze, Ryan Cohen’s contrarian leadership style, and the company’s bold new move into Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Josh and Dr. Aliyev unpack the real numbers behind GameStop’s turnaround, discuss the future of brick-and-mortar gaming retail, and speculate on what’s next for the company—from acquisitions to more crypto investments. They also touch on the cult-like “apes” community, the significance of GameStop’s PowerUp membership program, and what those mysterious Ryan Cohen tweets might (or might not) mean. 00:00 "Late Bloomer's Investing Journey" 04:56 "Student Gains via Viral Crypto Posts" 08:25 Ryan Cohen's Controversial Investment Exit 11:56 "Complacency in Modern Work Culture" 16:32 "Successful Growth Despite Share Dilution" 18:30 GameStop Revenue Decline and Profit Shift 23:09 Ceiling Reached: Focus on Margins 25:04 "GameStop Pro Membership Rebrand" 29:49 Conservative Investment Strategy Debated 33:43 Pivoting from Software to Collectibles 36:50 Board's Likely E-Commerce Focus 39:08 Uncertainty About Financial Actions 43:43 "Diversified Investments Beyond GameStop" 44:33 Investment Decisions and Diverse Options https://www.ccn.com/analysis/business/why-gamestop-most-misunderstood-stock-in-america/ https://x.com/itsToghrul ----------------------------------------------------- Cast-Magic: The World's Most Powerful Content Tool (30% off with code Casting30) - https://get.castmagic.io/4ktvtch68y67 Make Professional Looking Clips In Seconds With Opus - https://www.opus.pro/?via=ee2b04 Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/ Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4 Join My Mailing List - https://stats.sender.net/forms/dNZK8d/view Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/ Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim
