Did GameStop sell its bitcoin?** The 10-Q describes a transfer of collateral, not a sale. 4,709 bitcoin were placed in a Coinbase covered-call collateral agreement; because Coinbase may rehypothecate, commingle or unilaterally sell them, the company concluded control had transferred, derecognized the bitcoin and recorded a receivable for the right to receive the same quantity back. Bitcoin actually held on the books is 1.0. This article reports the structure and the figures; the scale of the risk is discussed in the subscriber section. **Q. What did the eBay stake cost and what is it worth?** 39,046,658 shares from exercising the put/call pairs (average $101.30, $3,955.2m) plus 4,343,725 shares bought in the open market (average $108.73, $472.3m) — 43,390,383 shares at a total cost of $4,386.3m. Fair value at August 1 was $4,946.9m, $560.6m above cost; $488.9m of that has already passed through earnings as derivative gains and $72.1m as an unrealized gain. **Q. Why did cash fall?** Cash went from $6,304.7m at January 31 to $4,854.3m at August 1. In the first half the company paid $4,386.3m for eBay shares, collected $2,491.2m from maturities and sales of marketable securities, and generated $399.8m of operating cash flow. Cash plus marketable securities fell from $9,013.8m to $5,060.3m. **Q. Where can I verify these numbers?** On SEC EDGAR: GameStop's fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q (accession 0001326380-26-000055), the collateral-agreement paragraphs and holdings table in Note 11 Digital Assets and Related Receivables, the cost-basis table in Note 10 Derivative Asset and Related Equity Investment, Note 15 Subsequent Events, the balance sheet and the cash-flow statement.
