Techub News reports that, according to CoinDesk, video game retailer GameStop proposed to acquire the online marketplace eBay for $55.5 billion, planning to use $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments, and seeking up to $20 billion in financing, sparking speculation about whether its $368 million Bitcoin holdings will be sold to fund the deal. The company's CEO previously stated that this expansion plan is "more attractive than Bitcoin," and retained the option to sell its cryptocurrency assets to finance the transaction. Last month, it transferred approximately 4,709 Bitcoins to Coinbase Prime for a covered call strategy, while also indicating the ability to complete the acquisition through a stock issuance.
