TechFlow reported on January 8 that GameStop (GME) announced an aggressive long-term CEO incentive plan: granting Ryan Cohen options for approximately 172 million shares with an exercise price of $20.66 and no fixed salary, where payouts would only be gradually realized upon achieving specific market capitalization and performance targets. The initial vesting threshold is set at a $20 billion market cap and cumulative EBITDA of $2 billion; full vesting requires reaching a $100 billion market cap and cumulative EBITDA of $10 billion. Following the announcement, GME shares rose nearly 5% in pre-market trading.
BiyaPay analysts believe this "Musk-style" compensation structure tightly aligns management incentives with long-term shareholder returns, reflecting U.S. markets’ tolerance for high-risk, high-reward transformation strategies—while potentially amplifying stock volatility. For investors seeking exposure to U.S. market热点 and event-driven opportunities, BiyaPay supports direct trading of U.S. and Hong Kong stock futures and spot contracts using USDT, enabling flexible participation in highly volatile assets like GME within a single account to capture structural trading opportunities.
