Investor Michael Burry has reportedly sold his entire GameStop Corp. position following the company’s move to pursue e-commerce platform eBay Inc. GameStop’s offer, described across reports as roughly $55.5 billion to $56 billion, would involve a mix of cash and stock. The decision marks a change from Burry’s previously stated stance on GameStop, which had been closely watched due to his history of taking contrarian positions. One report links the exit to a shift in the thesis Burry had been backing since January, suggesting that the eBay bid alters the investment rationale behind his GameStop exposure. Another report frames the move as Burry abandoning a “Berkshire-style” thesis tied to GameStop after the company’s acquisition proposal for eBay. The reports focus on the timing and the size/structure of the bid, but do not provide detailed explanations from Burry for the sale beyond the relationship to the proposed transaction.
