GameStop's attempt to acquire eBay for $55.5 billion could significantly change the market situation. For the company itself, this is a chance to move beyond gaming retail, acquire a major e-commerce platform, and at the same time test whether Bitcoin payments can work not only at the corporate level but also in the mass market segment. On May 4, GameStop offered $125 per eBay share. The deal values the marketplace at approximately $55.5 billion.


The deal is mixed in structure: half of the amount in cash, the other half in GameStop shares. Shareholders will be able to choose how to receive payment with proportional allocation.
GameStop itself believes that the price includes a premium of about 27% over the average stock price over the last 30 days and approximately 36% over the 90-day average.
Additionally, GameStop has already entered eBay's capital. Through derivatives and direct share ownership, it has accumulated a stake of about 5%.
