Billionaire investor Ryan Cohen has been\u00a0appointed<\/a> as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GameStop, a brick-and-mortar video game retailer in the United States, a move that could potentially impact Dogecoin. GameStop\u2019s stock and the Dogecoin price have shown signs of correlation. <\/p>\n

Before assuming this role, Cohen had been the Executive Chairman of GameStop since January 2022 and remained the largest shareholder. The experienced investor takes over in what analysts said is an attempt by the board to turn around the fortunes of the public company.<\/p>\n

Pro-GameStop Billionaire Takes Over As CEO<\/h2>\n

In this role, Cohen takes over as the President, Chief Executive, and Chairman of GameStop, representing a move to overhaul and possibly revive the company\u2019s leadership structure. While he assumes several positions, reports indicate that the billionaire won\u2019t receive a salary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following news of Cohen\u2019s announcement, GameStop prices surged 10%. Analysts interpret this expansion as confidence in the experienced investor\u2019s capability and even genuine commitment to sparking a turnaround following challenges in 2022 and the shifting landscape that has seen sales in brick-and-mortar stores fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The appointment is bullish for GameStop because Cohen is one of the largest shareholders. From September 2020, the billionaire started accumulating aggressively through to December 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The billionaire publicly supported a stock that hedge funds had ignored, as they were betting on a video game retailer to go bankrupt. However, in January 2021, due to a \u201cshort squeeze,\u201d GameStop\u2019s stock prices surged by 1,500% as retailers jumped on board, causing the stock to reach around $81.<\/p>\n

Will Dogecoin Mirror GameStop\u2019s Rally Of 2021?<\/h2>\n

The sharp expansion of GameStop in January due to FOMO and retailers banking on a \u201cmeme stock\u201d bear the same characteristics as the sudden rally of Dogecoin in the first half of 2021. At peaks, Dogecoin soared to as high as $0.78 as support from Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest entrepreneur, pumped the coin to record levels. <\/p>\n

The CEO of X openly expressed support for DOGE, even appearing on Sunday Night Live (SNL) as the \u201cDoge Master.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond Elon Musk, Dogecoin\u2019s status as the first meme coin and its alignment with the broader trend of meme stocks rallying in early 2021, driven chiefly by online communities and social media, fueled DOGE prices.<\/p>\n

DOGE prices have since\u00a0cooled off<\/a>, falling by over 80% as bears pressed on, reversing the project\u2019s huge valuations. Even so, supporters remain bullish, expecting the meme coin to recover in the sessions ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Elon Musk will continue tweeting frequently about DOGE. The billionaire is being\u00a0sued<\/a>\u00a0in New York for allegedly promoting Dogecoin as a \u201cget-rich-quick\u201d scheme. The lawsuit claims that Musk, Tesla, and SpaceX were involved in a \u201cracketeering conspiracy\u201d to support DOGE.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
