Video game retailer GameStop said on Wednesday that it plans to offer up to $1.3 billion worth of convertible senior notes to investors, taking a page straight out of Strategy's Bitcoin-buying playbook.

The announcement comes one day after GameStop said it could purchase Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset following an update to the company's investment policy.
