GameSquare Announces Pricing of Underwritten Public Offering to Launch Ethereum Treasury Strategy
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."

VTEX Wins Two Cannes Lions Awards for Retail Reinvention Through Circular Commerce
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--From landfill to Lions: what began as a project in one of the world's most polluted landscapes earned VTEX (NYSE: VTEX), the backbone of connected commerce, two at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival. Awarded in the 'Media (Use of Digital Platforms) ' and 'Direct (Corporate Purpose & Social Responsibility) ' categories, the wins recognized the RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA initiative as a bold collaboration between VTEX, Artplan, Desierto Vestido and Fashion Revolution, becoming a blueprint in enterprise circular commerce. In addition to the two Bronze Lions recognitions, RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA was also shortlisted in four additional categories. The Atacama Desert has become a global symbol of excess production, receiving more than 40,000 tons of retail waste every year, mainly from North America and Europe. RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA wasn't just about spotlighting a crisis. It was about proving the versatile power of digital commerce. Each garment was hand-selected, sanitized, and restored. Many were unworn, still bearing original brand tags. The inventory was redistributed at no cost, with consumers only paying for shipping. Winning two Bronze Lions over hundreds of submissions comes off the heels of VTEX, being recognized as the only vendor named a Gartner® Customers' Choice in the 2025 Voice of the Customer for Digital Commerce report for the second year in a row. The Impact of RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA: Activated the first globally scalable circular commerce model from recovered desert fast fashion waste, and powered by a simplified and adaptable enterprise-grade digital commerce platform. Redistributed inventory to consumers in 10+ countries around the globe. Sold out inventory in just under five hours without paid media. Generated a whopping 200,000 signups for future waste drops. Delivered branded UX, storytelling, and packaging that sparked global connection and community towards a larger movement. Built in full collaboration: Desierto Vestido (recovery), Fashion Revolution Brazil (upcycle), Artplan (creative), VTEX (commerce engine). Mariano Gomide de Faria, Founder and Co-CEO of VTEX, said: ' RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA winning two Bronze Lions at Cannes 2025 sends a clear message: commerce can do more than scale global enterprise brands. With the remarkable partnership of Artplan, Desierto Vestido, and Fashion Revolution, we have proven how adaptable digital commerce platforms can correct, redistribute, and challenge the logic of excess. At VTEX, we're proud to have disrupted the model of linear consumption. This is one of the most urgent and transformative campaigns we've been part of this year, and it signals to other digital commerce platforms that neutrality In the conversation of retail waste is no longer an option. RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA has set the standard for global impact as value is defined by what is recovered, not just by what is sold. ' Built for viability over virality, RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA is now evolving into a long-term solution. In partnership with the University of Chile, the next phase focuses on transforming volunteer roles into paid work, generating local income, and formalizing the recovery and redistribution of discarded garments. The goal is a sustainable environmental and economic model led by a strong community. As AI reshapes the future of commerce, RE-COMMERCE ATACAMA is a case study in purposeful design meeting adaptable digital infrastructure. When intention is rooted in impact, transformation scales. And what started in the desert is now a global benchmark for regenerative commerce powered by technology, community, and creativity.

3 Disappointing Blue Chip Stocks That Have Crashed as Much as 87% in 10 Years
These stocks have all fallen between 19% and 87% over the past decade. Changing market conditions and consumer tastes and preferences have weighed on these businesses. Investors can learn a lot from their downfalls. 10 stocks we like better than Pfizer › Normally, a buy-and-hold strategy pays off, and investors expect to see strong gains from their investments. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has risen by 200% over the past decade, and mirroring the index would have enabled you to triple your money. The temptation to pick individual stocks, however, can be too alluring to pass up. But going with individual stocks can add more risk for your portfolio. Three stocks nowhere near the S&P 500's gains over the past 10 years and down well into negative territory are Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC), and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA). Here's why these stocks have struggled so badly, what investors can learn from their declines, and if any one of them might be worth investing in today. (The returns listed are as of July 7.) Pfizer has been a big name in healthcare for decades, but it has been a largely underwhelming investment over the past 10 years, falling by more than 19% during that time frame. The company has been dealing with patent expirations and needing to innovate to continue growing. Things were looking good a few years ago when its COVID vaccine and pill resulted in its business achieving record numbers, with sales topping more than $101 billion in 2022. But with that no longer being a key growth catalyst for the business anymore and Pfizer now also worrying about government cutbacks on healthcare spending, investors haven't been eager to buy the stock, even despite its modest 18 times earnings multiple or its high yield of more than 7%. There is, however, still hope for Pfizer to turn things around, as the healthcare company has been cutting costs, and it's in the early innings of many acquisitions, including oncology company Seagen, which it acquired in 2023. What investors can learn from Pfizer's uninspiring performance over the past decade is to not get too caught up in market conditions that may only be temporary -- such as a pandemic. Buying at the time when Pfizer's valuation was rising due to strong COVID-related sales would have resulted in deeper stock losses today. I think Pfizer can still make for an underrated buy, especially given its low price tag, as investors may be overly punitive on the business for factors out of its control -- uncertainty around healthcare spending, a declining COVID market, etc. But buying the stock will definitely require patience, as a rally may not be coming soon. Food and beverage company Kraft has performed even worse than Pfizer over the past decade, losing more than 60% of its value. It has been just over 10 years since Kraft and Heinz merged, and it simply hasn't led to great results. In each of the past four years, Kraft's sales have been stagnant at around $26 billion. The company is struggling to find ways to grow, and it hasn't done a good job of pivoting toward healthier options. While many of its brands are iconic and well known, they're also known for being fairly unhealthy -- including Mac & Cheese. And as consumers focus more on eating better, Kraft's brands simply aren't as popular as they have been in the past. Investors should take Kraft's struggles in recent years as a reminder that when a business is falling behind market trends and consumer preferences, it may be a sign that its products may not be as relevant and successful in the future. And that's why I wouldn't buy the stock today, even though it's down so much; there could be much more adversity ahead for Kraft. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest disappointments for investors over the past decade has been Walgreens. While its trusted neighborhood pharmacy business may have put it in a great position to offer value and win over local consumers in the past, it has also failed to keep up with changing market conditions. The company operates on low profit margins, which can make it difficult for the business to stay out of the red and also pay a dividend, which Walgreens suspended earlier this year. With consumers buying more goods online, there arguably isn't as much of a need to have a local Walgreens nearby, whether it's to purchase day-to-day goods or even pick up pharmaceutical items. This is another lesson for investors in the dangers of investing in a slow-moving business that is struggling to keep up with competition. If Walgreens focused more on online delivery and drastically reduced its store count to improve on its profit margins, the stock may have not been as horrible of a buy as it has been over the past decade. Although Walgreens stock is up this year, that's because the company is going private, which has driven the stock up to around the purchase price ($11.45); Walgreens remains a risky business to invest in.
