Updating its unsolicited bid announced earlier on May 4, GameStop has disclosed a 5% economic stake in eBay while proposing a $55.5 billion non-binding acquisition at $125 per share in cash and stock. Funding includes $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments—featuring $368 million in bitcoin—and up to $20 billion in financing, prompting questions over the retailer's cryptocurrency future.
GameStop wird ab diesem Sommer das Punktesystem aus seinem Pro-Membership-Programm entfernen. Die Änderung erfolgt vor dem Hintergrund, dass der Einzelhändler weiterhin Filialen schließt und Kosten senkt.

Der Vorstand von eBay hat ein Übernahmeangebot in Höhe von 56 Milliarden Dollar des GameStop-CEO Ryan Cohen entschieden zurückgewiesen und den Vorschlag als weder glaubwürdig noch attraktiv bezeichnet.
GameStop's promotional 'Trade Anything Day' on December 6, 2025, resulted in over 80,000 unusual trades across U.S. stores, with customers offering everything from taxidermied animals to a can of whoop-ass for $5 store credit. The event aimed to boost awareness of the retailer's trade-in program while collecting donations for food banks. Employees faced awkward situations, including rejected attempts to trade pets and personal documents.
