The GameStop <\/span>price<\/span><\/a> surged over 199% in the last 24 hours after Keith Gill, known as “<\/span>Roaring Kitty<\/span><\/a>” on X, revealed in a Reddit post that he is holding $181.4 million worth of GME stock and call options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for his influential role in the 2021 GME short squeeze, the trader brought an end to his 3-year hiatus on Reddit after posting yesterday for the first time since April 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gill shared a <\/span>screenshot<\/span><\/a> that shows he bought 5 million GME shares worth $115.7 million and allocated $65.7 million towards call options. These positions seemed to have paid off for him so far.<\/span><\/p>\n
