GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) and other so-called meme stocks may have been given the boost on major social media platforms by bots, according to PiiQ Media, a Massachusetts-based cybersecurity company, Reuters reported Sunday.
What Happened: Reuters noted — based on the bot revelation — that Reddit fueled frenzy in such stocks may have been the handiwork of “organized economic or foreign actors.”

Why It Matters: PiiQ estimates tens of thousands of bot accounts were involved in the frenzy, which also extended to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), according to Reuters.
The firm did not analyze Reddit data but expects to see a similar pattern on the website.
Last month, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told Congress in a hearing that bots, foreign agents, or other bad actors had not meaningfully infiltrated the r/WallStreetBets community that led the frenzy in GameStop, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC), Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) and others.
A retail trader on that Reddit forum, with the user name “Deep F---ing Value,” told Congress in his published testimony that he liked the stock and that the market was “oblivious to GameStop’s unique opportunity within the gaming industry.”
Price Action: GameStop shares closed nearly 6.4% lower at $101.74 on Friday and fell 2.2% in the after-hours trading to $99.50. DOGE traded 0.36% higher at $0.049 at press time.
