GME could issue shares and get a large cash infusion into its business. GME could sell some of its shares to get a large cash infusion into its business.

Their market cap 19x'd up to ~19B. Having a 1B cash infusion into the business isn't crazy. Imagine what 1B of investment into Gamestop could achieve.

That assumes people will buy said shares. That's contentious at best.

There's a short squeeze; people will have to buy. Most of the shorters would probably love to just clear their short if they could buy at a semi-reasonable price. GME has to know their stock is inflated. They could sell stock for 75% of the current market value and still be making money hand over fist.

That would, however, crash the price.
