Frisco, TX, United States of America, July 8th, 2025, Chainwire
GameSquare’s Board approves $100 million Ethereum treasury authorization to expand the Company’s crypto-based treasury management strategy over time
Initial investment fuels GameSquare’s strategic alliance with Ryan Zurrer and Dialectic to deploy an Ethereum-native yield strategy
GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), (“GameSquare”, or the “Company”), a next-generation media, entertainment, and technology company, today announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten public offering for the sale of 8,421,054 shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price of $0.95 per share for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company intends to use the majority of the proceeds to accelerate the launch of its newly formed Ethereum (“ETH”) based treasury strategy, supported by a strategic alliance with Dialectic, a global leader in crypto-native capital management.
“Today’s announcement reflects the confidence of a proven group of high-quality investors and leaders in decentralized finance,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. “We’ve partnered with one of the world’s top crypto investment firms to generate real, on-chain yield while deepening our expertise in decentralized finance, pursuing new revenue streams, and strengthening our balance sheet.”
“This new treasury management strategy enhances our financial flexibility and allows us to support a defined capital allocation plan that is focused on pursuing additional ETH asset purchases, funding potential share repurchases, and reinvesting in our growth initiatives,” added Kenna.
GameSquare’s ETH-focused yield generation strategy is built on top of Dialectic’s proprietary platform Medici, which applies machine learning models, automated optimization, and multi-layered risk controls to generate best-in-class risk-adjusted returns. Targeted yields of 8-14% significantly exceed the current ETH staking benchmarks of 3-4%.
Dialectic’s program includes multi-layered risk management protocols that are widely recognized as the best risk-adjusted yields in DeFi. GameSquare’s new Ethereum-focused treasury vehicle may also incorporate additional yield-generating strategies across the Ethereum ecosystem, potentially utilizing assets such as stablecoins and non-fungible tokens to diversify and amplify returns.
GameSquare’s Board has approved an ETH allocation of up to $100 million, based on staged investments over time, while keeping adequate working capital for the operating business.
“Our crypto strategy reinforces our existing foundation in gaming, technology, and media, and is aligned with the broader trend of institutional adoption of digital assets,” Kenna continued. “Our strategic partnership with leaders in the crypto space including Ryan Zurrer of Dialectic and Rhydon Lee of Goff Capital is just getting started and I am excited to update investors on the quick progress we are making.”
Lucid Capital Markets is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
In addition, the Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,263,157 shares of its common stock (or common stock equivalents) at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering is expected to close on or about July 9, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2025. A preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A final prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering, when available, may also be obtained by contacting Lucid Capital Markets, LLC, 570 Lexington Avenue, 40th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
