Ryan Cohen’s recent interview about GameStop’s bid on eBay is causing a buzz on Dogecoin Twitter.
May 7, 2026
The official Dogecoin account linked to the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin responded on Tuesday to GameStop Corp.’s huge $56 billion unsolicited bid to take over eBay Inc., an online marketplace giant. The reaction came in response to an interview with GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen discussing the financial aspects of the bid. Dogecoin playfully referred to Cohen’s behavior as being in line with a “meme stock” CEO, showing respect for the game-like behavior.
The interview with Cohen, which aired on Monday, has garnered attention due to its peculiar nature. Cohen dodged several questions during the interview, repeatedly redirecting the interviewers to the company’s official website while avoiding inquiries about the funding sources, shareholder value, and GameStop’s business operations.
The significant size of GameStop’s bid, considering its market cap of around $11 billion, has attracted interest. The company holds a 5% economic stake in eBay and has secured up to $20 billion in third-party financing for the acquisition from TD Securities. Despite the bold move, Polymarket bettors are skeptical about the deal’s success, giving it just a 16% chance of completion on their “Will GameStop acquire eBay?” market.
As of the latest data available, Dogecoin was trading at $0.1149, marking a 3.30% increase in the last 24 hours. In comparison, GameStop’s shares dropped by 0.45% in after-hours trading following a 1.64% increase to $24.23 during the regular trading session on Tuesday. Overall, GameStop’s stock has seen a 20% gain since the beginning of the year.
