Bitcoin Boom: Mortgages, Reserves & GameStop Rally
Markets zoom as Bitcoin hits $108K, FHFA backs crypto mortgages, firms build reserves & GameStop raises $450M. Bullish surge drives adoption.
- Bitcoin nears $110K, fueling corporate & public interest.
- FHFA orders crypto assets to count for mortgages.
- GameStop raises $450M, boosting its Bitcoin war chest.
On June 25, 2025, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) issued a groundbreaking directive for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The agency now requires both mortgage giants to treat Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as assets when reviewing mortgage applications. This pivotal change could make it easier for crypto holders to qualify for home loans — as long as their holdings are kept in U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges.
Corporations build Bitcoin reserves
Public companies are increasingly adopting Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategies. More than 240 firms now collectively hold close to 4% of all Bitcoin in circulation. These companies are using a mix of stock sales and convertible debt to acquire BTC, showing rising institutional trust in the asset as a long-term store of value and inflation hedge.
GameStop boosts Bitcoin buy power
GameStop has raised an additional $450 million by exercising a greenshoe option on a recent convertible note deal. This adds to its previously raised $2.3 billion, much of which is expected to be deployed into Bitcoin, in line with its newly adopted treasury strategy. GameStop already purchased over $500 million in Bitcoin last month, placing it among the new wave of corporate BTC holders.
The broader picture
This week’s developments reveal how Bitcoin is not just growing in price, but in real-world utility and recognition. From mortgage lending policies to strategic reserve management by public companies, the digital asset is weaving into the core of modern finance. As Bitcoin touches $108,000 and institutions deepen their involvement, many see this as just the beginning of a broader bullish cycle.
