Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Sam Callahan joins us to discuss his viral research on institutional Bitcoin ETF holders. Sam manually analyzed 1,573 public filings to uncover who's buying Bitcoin ETFs – and how much they are buying.

GameStop plans to buy $1.3B in Bitcoin, following MicroStrategy's playbook. How does this connect to GameStop's 2021 meme stock saga, company financials, and can this pivot can save a retailer whose core business is declining.
We dive into GameStop's surprising announcement to raise $1.3 billion in convertible notes, potentially to buy Bitcoin. The hosts explore how this connects to the 2021 meme stock saga that gave GameStop its massive cash position, Ryan Cohen's relationship with Michael Saylor, and whether this Bitcoin strategy is a life raft for a retail gaming business in decline. With GameStop's revenue dropping from $8.5B to $3.8B over eight years, is this a smart pivot or just vibe investing?
- Cash position largely from 2021 meme stock frenzy
- Zero debt after paying off all loans
- Saylor posted photo with Ryan Cohen: "Team Bitcoin"
