Andrew Tate has announced a bold investment move: he is converting $500,000 of Bitcoin into GameStop (GME) stock and meme coins. He aims to challenge hedge funds and is willing to lose his investment to do so.
Tate stated his intent to leverage his investment fully, targeting hedge fund managers he blames for financial instability. This action coincides with a surge in GME stock, which has doubled in value in the last 24 hours. Leading to trading pauses and big losses for those who bet against it. GME is now trading at $32.50, up from $10 a month ago.
In his social media posts, Tate praised the Occupy Wall Street movement, connecting it to the current rise in meme stocks. He declared his commitment to holding his stocks indefinitely, which is in line with the WallStreetBets ethos.
This development occurs as Tate faces legal challenges, including charges of human trafficking and rape in Romania. Recently, restrictions preventing him from leaving the country have been extended for another 60 days. The trial date has not been confirmed yet.
