GameStop disclosed a $4.9 billion equity stake in eBay in its second-quarter 8-K filing. The company maintains its strategic interest after eBay's board rejected a $56 billion takeover bid in May 2026.
A looming deadline for 59 million warrants expiring on October 30, 2026, adds pressure to the acquisition plan. These warrants feature an exercise price of $32. GameStop's stock currently trades well below that level, leaving the warrants underwater.
The situation puts approximately $1.9 billion in potential funding at risk. This shortfall creates significant urgency for GameStop’s continued pursuit of eBay.
