Burry is back in GameStop

On 26 January 2026, five years to the day after Elon Musk's “Gamestonk!!”, GameStop shares rose about 8% after Michael Burry said he had been buying GME and called it a long-term holding.

Burry first owned GameStop in 2019. His fund Scion had been deregistered in November 2025. On 4 May 2026, the day after GameStop's proposal to buy eBay, Burry wrote that he had sold his entire GameStop stake, citing the debt the deal would need.
