A reason to own GameStop held.
Helm tested one of the reasons to own GameStop against a primary source and recorded what it found. The sentence below is quoted exactly as it was published.
The claim under test
The large cash and bitcoin treasury makes the company a capital-allocation story, not a retailer
What the source actually says
GameStop directly beneficially owns 43,390,383 shares of common stock of eBay, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”). On May 3, 2026, GameStop delivered to the board of directors of eBay a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Common Stock that it does not already own at a price of $125 per share of Common Stock, to be paid in a combination of cash and GameStop common stock.
Why it matters
GameStop's substantial ownership in eBay and acquisition proposal illustrate its capital-allocation strategy.
