They have? Blackrock just added 10% to their stake recently. Not to mention the former-Amazon staff that GameStop is hiring along with the header of BlockChain at Microsoft mentioning working with GameStop on their new NFT Market Place.

Don't just get your news from Bloomberg or CNN.

Blackrock and Vanguard own GME because they operate the biggest S&P ETFs and mutual funds.

GME has increased its percentage of the S&P because retail investors have bought the position. Blackrock is not taking a position that a short squeeze is possible they are just reacting to the index.
