GameStop raises over $2B in stock sale during Roaring Kitty craze

GameStop raised more than $2 billion after selling 75 million shares, the video game retailer said Tuesday.
The sales of the shares stemmed from an at-the-market equity offering program that GameStop announced earlier in the month.
'ROARING KITTY' COULD NOT SAVE GAMESTOP AS MEME STOCK TANKS
"GameStop intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments," the retailer said.
It marked the second at-the-market equity offering that GameStop has conducted in the past month, following a smaller one involving 45 million shares in May. That grossed $933.4 million, the retailer said in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
'ROARING KITTY'S GAMESTOP POSITION IS IN THE MONEY
Proceeds from the May stock sale were also intended for "general corporate purposes."
Both stock sales came as GameStop received heightened attention and experienced stock price fluctuations due to meme stock retail trader Keith Gill becoming active again on his "Roaring Kitty" social media accounts.
