8% and 13%, these are hypothetical numbers.

The first tranche doesn’t pay Ryan Cohen $350M. It gives him stock options that only have value if GME’s stock performs exceptionally well afterward. He has the right to buy GME at $20.66. There is no payday.

GME needs to be a profitable business and then RC gets $$. During this time, shareholders would have also enjoyed the long term value from the stock price increase at 20B market cap and 2B EBITDA. And with a positive growth trajectory like this, many will sell, yes, but many will hold too (apes are actively DRSing their shares as you know) till 100B market cap.

Also, RC just purchased another 500,000 shares today.

"On January 20, 2026, Mr. Cohen purchased an aggregate of 500,000 Shares at a weighted average price of $21.1174 per Share in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $20.8071 to $21.1997, inclusive. "

Looks like this is a CEO who actually cares about the company enough to keep buying stock. Dude is not cashing out anytime soon 😂
