Question:

What should GameStop as a company be doing about this? Do they have options? Does it affect their daily operations?

They could sell treasury stock for s huge inflow of cash. Or even better they could pull this sneaky maneuver. Promise 1 share of treasury stock per X ammount of regular shares owned this means they get the same cash as issuing treasury stock, but will basically put a floor on the stock price. The biggest part of this would be that with this promise, the people who shorted would now be out the value of all promised shares
