After more than three years of silence on Reddit, famous meme stock trader Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, has made a striking return by sharing details about his portfolio. On Sunday, Gill revealed that he holds 5 million shares of GameStop (GME), which he bought at $21.27 per share. These shares are now worth over $115 million.
In addition to his shares, Gill has 120,000 call options with a strike price of $20, set to expire on June 21, 2024. He bought these options at $5.68 each, and they are now valued at more than $65 million.
Evaluating the Market Impact
Gill’s market influence is well-known, especially during the 2021 altcoin bull market, despite facing investigations by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Currently, GameStop Corp. Cl A (NYSE: GME) shares are trading around $22.91, up 22 % in the past five days.
Renewed Hopes for Altseason
Gill’s comeback after the 2022/2023 crypto bear market has sparked new hopes for an altseason. GameStop-inspired meme coins on various blockchains have surged by over 100 % in the past week.
For example, GME (GME) on the Solana (SOL) network jumped by more than 232 % in the last 24 hours, trading at about $0.0132. This coin’s trading volume was double its market cap, showing strong on-chain demand.
It’s Meme Coin Mania Again!
Another GameStop-themed project, GME (Ethereum) (GME), increased by 620 % in the last 24 hours, trading at around $0.000034. Similarly, GME (BASE) (GME), a meme coin on Coinbase’s Base network, surged over 175 % in the same period, trading at about $0.037 on Monday during the early London session.
Gill’s return and the market excitement highlight his lasting impact on the meme stock and cryptocurrency communities. As traders and investors watch closely, the potential for continued market activity remains high.
