GameStop the meme stock the internet kept alive as a joke just bid $56 BILLION for eBay.
This is not a drill.
This is not a meme.
This is a WSJ-confirmed takeover bid.
Let's do a quick timeline.
2021 Wall Street declared GameStop dead.
Hedge funds shorted it into the ground.
Reddit saved it out of spite.
2024 Ryan Cohen loads the treasury with Bitcoin.
$368 million worth.
Not as a gimmick. As a strategy.
2025 GameStop bids $56 billion for eBay.
The most legacy, old-internet, boomer e-commerce platform on earth.
Acquired potentially by a video game retailer that was supposed to be extinct.
Cohen's vision isn't subtle.
He said it out loud.
"$100 billion-plus juggernaut."
That's not a pivot. That's a declaration of war on every company that wrote GameStop off.
Think about the architecture here.
Bitcoin treasury as the war chest.
Meme stock loyalty as the retail army.
eBay's 132 million active buyers as the distribution network.
This is what happens when you combine
the most passionate retail investor base on the internet
with a CEO who thinks in decades, not quarters.
The short sellers wanted a funeral.
They got a acquisition announcement instead.
GameStop didn't survive the meme era.
It used the meme era.
As a launchpad.
The most ridiculous company in modern market history
is attempting one of the most audacious deals in modern market history.
And somehow
it makes complete sense.
Never short the internet. 👀
