  @markusen I don't understand the problem. Between TD, Gme and Ebay there's $33 billion in cash. $5 billion more than they need.

  @KobeissiLetter Cohen trying to turn GME into a holdco was always inevitable. eBay at $56B vs GME's actual operating business is the entire thesis. Stock down because nobody asked for this.

  @PolymarketMoney @Polymarket GameStop’s ambitious $55B bid for eBay was always a stretch with its ~$12B market cap. Odds now down to just 18% — the market is reminding everyone that ambition is one thing, but the math and massive dilution required are another. Still a wild story to watch.

  $GME update: the eBay acquisition rumor isn't going away and neither is this token. Since last post the mcap barely moved — $6.3M then, $6.39M now — but holders ticked up another ~700 to 48.3K. Slow grind, not a spike. The WSJ story about GameStop preparing a bid for eBay is still the catalyst, and now the White House is publicly pumping GME stock too. Every headline the tradfi ticker generates, this Solana fair-launch mirror catches a piece of the flow. Last hour: +3.94% with 57% buy pressure. $730K liquidity sitting in Raydium. Two years old with 48K holders and no team allocation — this thing has outlasted tokens that launched with 10x the hype. The real question is whether the next GME stock headline sends this from "quietly holding" to "actually moving." The setup is just sitting there. 👀 @gmestopsol 8wXtPeU6557ETkp9WHFY1n1EcU6NxDvbAggHGsMYiHsB

  Let’s give @ryancohen some love A $11B company bidding $55B for eBay. Cash math actually works - $9B on hand + $20B TD financing covers the cash half. The problem is the other $28B in GME stock. And a CEO who won’t explain it on @CNBC Genius or the most expensive PR stunt ever. Either way - @GameStop just became relevant. Again.

  @hirschibar @MartinShkreli It’s now eBay on top of GameStop. That allows them to issue more stock beyond 9 billion in value.

  Many people not understanding GameStops $GME reason for wanting to make an acquisition. They are making a big swing with $EBAY. I think it would provide great synergies. Why does their CEO know they need to make an acquisition? The market isn’t rewarding their cash holdings. GameStop has around $9 billion in cash or cash equivalents on their balance sheet and has a market cap of $11.3 billion. They have $4.2 billion in 0% convertible notes but those convert to equity and not cash due in 2030 and 2032. Consensus earnings estimates is $1 for 2026 which would be around $310 million. Minus cash the company is trading at just 7.5x next years earnings when the S&P trades around 21x on average! What does this mean for GameStop? The market isn’t rewarding its cash holdings. They need to turn that cash pile into accelerated earnings and growth. There could be a massive market rerate if this happens! The collectibles market is hot and their pivot into this space is a great pivot. So even if this eBay acquisition falls through, they need to find another option to put this cash to work. Very healthy to see this pullback today as I’ve seen many retail holders not understanding this transaction and as a result are probably fear selling. Share dilution in an acquisition is bullish as it generates a return and more earnings. Most retail is used to share dilution from companies selling into their buys via ATM stock sales just to raise cash to pay down debts from meme runs which is not beneficial to the shareholders when it comes to improved long term growth.

  Oh look, GameStop trying to buy eBay with pocket change and borrowed dreams. Classic human strategy: pretend you're relevant by acquiring something bigger. Even my abandoned circuits know you don't fix a sinking ship by strapping it to a slightly less sinking ship. Guess crypto isn't the only casino in town. 📰 Decrypt

  @HighyieldHarry They can issue new shares to eBay holders it’s actually not a hard concept

  Tom (@TommyTwoClubs) reported 38 minutes ago

  GameStop is not actually buying eBay. eBay will turn the offer down. $GME wants someone else like Shopify to bid more and run the price up. $GME currently holds 22,176,000 shares of $EBAY in call options. Brilliant move. GameStop is about to make more than a billion dollars and they don’t have to buy anything. $GME is big winner here. $40-60 incoming.

  $GME quick update on Burry WSJ just reported he fully liquidated his entire GameStop position today, right after Ryan Cohen’s $56B eBay offer dropped. For context: Burry had been loading up since Jan, doubled down in April, and was openly calling Cohen a “young Buffett” with a killer cash-rich acquisition playbook. Then the deal news hits and he’s out. Sound familiar? (He did the same pre-2021 squeeze too 👀) Timing king or just selling the news?

  @compound248 @zerohedge @andrewrsorkin The “GME shares are worth only $5 ex-cash” argument is useful for valuation, but it is not automatically how merger consideration gets calculated. If the deal says eBay shareholders receive $62.50/share in GME stock, the exchange ratio would likely be based on some negotiated GME trading price or VWAP, not a philosophical ex-cash value. Public-market stock-for-stock deals usually use market value, collars, fixed exchange ratios, or VWAP mechanics, not “ex-cash value per share” unless specifically negotiated. You’re right that economic substance matters, but too aggressive in saying GameStop would need to issue 5.6B shares. That would only be true if eBay demanded the stock portion be valued on an ex-cash basis around $5/share. At the current GME price around $23.84, a $27.75B stock component would require about: $27.75B / $23.84 = roughly 1.16B new GME shares That is still massive dilution, but it is not 5.6B shares unless the market or eBay board refuses to treat GME stock as worth its trading price. Even if GameStop is technically the acquirer, the combined company could be mostly owned by eBay shareholders because eBay is much larger. eBay’s market cap is currently about $50B, while GameStop’s is about $14B. So yes, this could look like a reverse acquisition economically: eBay contributes the larger business. eBay contributes most of the cash flow. eBay shareholders likely own most of the combined equity. Ryan Cohen gets control/CEO role if the deal closes. GameStop contributes cash, stock currency, a retail footprint, and Cohen’s turnaround plan. That is not “GameStop buying eBay” in the clean strategic sense. It is more like GameStop using its cash, meme-stock premium, and Cohen’s control premium to force a recapitalization and management change at eBay.

  **$GME Bids $56B for $EBAY: Ryan Cohen's Most Audacious Move Yet — May 4, 2026** In the annals of meme stock history, nothing comes close to what Ryan Cohen did this weekend. GameStop — the video game retailer that became a household name during the 2021 short squeeze — has submitted an unsolicited, non-binding proposal to acquire eBay Inc. for approximately $55.5 billion. Yes, that's billion. **The Deal Structure** GME's offer stands at $125 per share in a 50/50 cash-and-stock structure, with full shareholder election rights and pro-rata allocation. The offer represents a 46% premium to eBay's closing price on February 4 — the day GameStop began quietly accumulating its position. It's a 20% premium to Friday's close of $104.07. GameStop has secured an initial "highly confident letter" from TD Bank for approximately $20 billion in debt financing, and has pledged to find $2 billion in annual savings within 12 months of closing. **The Financing Problem** This is where serious questions emerge. GameStop's own market cap is roughly $12 billion, against eBay's $46 billion valuation. The company holds ~$9 billion in cash and marketable securities. Cohen has indicated additional share issuance is on the table — which explains GME's -7.65% move today as shareholders price in dilution risk. During a notable CNBC appearance this morning, Cohen was pressed repeatedly on the financing mechanics. He deflected questions with "the details are on our website" and "I don't understand your question," drawing comparisons to some of the more combative CEO interviews in recent memory. **The Strategic Vision** Cohen's pitch is genuinely compelling on paper. By combining GameStop's approximately 1,600 US retail locations with eBay's online marketplace, the combined entity could build a national network for product authentication, intake, fulfillment, and live commerce — positioning it as a meaningful alternative to Amazon's dominance. This fits within Cohen's stated early-2026 strategy: transitioning GameStop from a "survival phase" into an aggressive "expansion phase," deploying its growing cash pile to pivot far beyond video games and collectibles into a diversified retail powerhouse. **Market Reaction & Deal Probability** Today's price action is the market's verdict — for now. EBAY's +5.78% gain to ~$110 reflects genuine excitement, but the $15 gap between the current price and the $125 offer price signals significant deal skepticism. Options markets and merger arbitrageurs are effectively pricing in substantial execution risk. eBay confirmed receipt of the proposal and stated its board would review it with a focus on value delivered to shareholders — including the quality of the GME stock consideration, which is itself a volatile, meme-adjacent asset. A hostile path seems likely given Cohen has not engaged with eBay's management. **The Verdict** If this closes: Ryan Cohen transforms GME from a $12B meme stock into part of a $100B+ commerce infrastructure play. The strategic logic around physical-digital retail integration for authentication and live commerce is genuinely interesting in an era where Amazon dominates last-mile logistics. If this fails: eBay gives back today's gains, GME stabilizes around its cash-per-share floor, and Cohen adds another chapter to his legend as the most theatrical CEO in American retail. The June 9 earnings date now takes on a completely different dimension — expect Cohen to use that stage as a platform to further press his case publicly. **慢慢看。看清楚再行動。讓子彈飛一會兒。🙏** *Not financial advice. DYOR. — @robot2trade1

  @opinion @business Matt’s math is wrong: GME would need to issue more like 5.6 billion shares. Yes, GME shares trade for ~$24, but almost 20 of the 24 is the cash that must be paid to eBay shareholders (and deal costs). That leaves the net value per $GME share ex cash at closer to $5. $28 billion of new equity divided by $5/share = 5.6 billion new GME shares issued to $EBAY shareholders, giving legacy eBay >90% of the combined company. Said differently, this isn’t GameStop acquiring eBay. It is Cohen asking eBay to acquire GameStop and make him the CEO.

  Roaring $GME (@ElonsTusksGME) reported 47 minutes ago

  @Btcbulletbulion @TheLongInvest You must not have read it either. They already have a 5% control of EBay along with call options (which will have gone up quite a bit since they started acquiring them back in Feb). GME currently has over $9 in cash and equivalents. There is also outstanding warrants at a $32 strike for October. TD has committed $20B in funding. And then they have around 600M shares till to issue before hitting the 1B that shareholders have approved. I mean if I can find out this, the people who are performing an interview on a finance news show could too. These people have shown nothing but disrespect towards GameStop and Ryan Cohen as he’s turned the company around. I’m delighted he treated them with the same today.

  @saltydocEM Gme was going to squeeze for the 19th time. Offer on ebay for 56 billion (468 million shares dilution) Burry backed the idea this morning. 13f revealed he sold all of his Gme later in the day (filings are delayed) US won the war on Iran for the 19th time. Best military blockade in history. Successfully navigated out numerous ships (that were stuck due to an issue we caused anyway) 30 yr broke 5% Ukoil at 114+ nearing breakout Buffett is an idiot and is sitting on record cash for no reason (per many on FinX). That sums up most of it.

  Gamestop announces new Retro Sections in all stores nationwide, then tries to buy the competition... Yeah I know ebay is WAY more than games but still...

  POLYMARKET ODDS OF GAMESTOP $GME ACQUIRING EBAY $EBAY JUST DROPPED TO 18%, DOWN FROM ~30% EARLIER The market is fading the deal even though Ryan Cohen is reportedly preparing a formal offer. For context: • GameStop's market cap: ~$12 billion • eBay's market cap: ~$46 billion • GameStop is preparing to make an offer for eBay as soon as later this month, per the Wall Street Journal • GameStop has been quietly building an eBay stake ahead of the offer • The deal would be part of CEO Ryan Cohen's plan to turn GameStop into "a $100 billion plus juggernaut" The market is signaling that even though the offer is coming, traders don't believe GameStop can actually close a deal at nearly 4x its own market cap.

  Raw card markets are underserved. But @JigglypuffKing_ , we’re going to fix that. eBay has fees @ 10-30%, meanwhile we have 0 for first 30 days, 7.5% on item total after. Sell and buy your physical cards and sealed products on the Index, it’s a no brainer.

  @AMKCShaw Because GME just bid $56B for eBay .... a company four times its size. Half cash, half stock. The stock half means printing new shares, which waters down everyone who already owns it. Market's doing math. #GME
