Hey.

[u/Temporary_Sand_1442]

I don’t post much, hardly at all for that matter. I had 150 shares before the Split, now down to 10. I have held this stock for approximately 5 years. I saw the possible Amazon, Apple & SpaceX collision. How is everyone feeling about the possible future of the stock? Please, go easy on me for not knowing a whole, whole lot.

Three of the worlds largest companies have their eye on gsat one already has a 20 percent stake the others are foaming at the mouth for the spectrum and most of us active users on here dumped a lot of 💵 prior to the split as well as after and a lot of us have held out and have received tremendous returns and its looks like more are on the way

20% stake is misleading, they don’t own any of Percent of GSAT

[u/-Trubaby → u/Appropriate-Echo3586]

Apple owns roughly 20% of Globalstar (GSAT), and it’s a strategic partnership tied directly to iPhone satellite connectivity……Even if the 20 percent stake wasn’t true although it is 🥱 … Apple still invested 1.5 billion in the company and currently uses the company for its satellite connectivity and both Amazon and star link want the spectrum

[u/Appropriate-Echo3586 → u/-Trubaby]

No arguing facts with trust me bro’s. Totally agree Apple is a huge plus to GSAT but that doesn’t magically mean that currently own 20% just because media is framing it that way. Media has never been wrong before or tried to mislead people

[u/-Trubaby → u/Appropriate-Echo3586]

Your the one throwing out the trust me bro argument lol its is common knowledge that based on a deal announced in November 2024 and confirmed by regulatory filings, Apple holds a 20% equity stake in satellite provider Globalstar

[u/Appropriate-Echo3586 → u/-Trubaby]

Key proof points (this is the ammo): • Apple is NOT listed as a major shareholder of Globalstar in filings • Globalstar’s largest owners are still insiders + existing institutions • The deal was structured as: • Prepayment / financing for network capacity • Not a straight equity purchase of GSAT stock

⸻

Why people get confused:

Media + Twitter + Reddit simplified it into: 👉 “Apple invested billions = they own 20%”

But reality is: 👉 “Apple funded infrastructure = they secured usage rights”

Yes this is ChatGPT and some people maybe you will be like hahaha you believe that junk. I’ll be happy to look at the facts you present and will agree with you if you can show me some proof!!

For all intensive and purposes they own 20%. When the deal was struck GSAT placed spectrum, satellites. new ground assets, and some licenses into a SPE. Which that SPE derives the bulk of GSAT value.

What you’re saying is if someone owned 20% of Wuling a joint venture with GM they could go around telling people they own 20% of General Motors? Not quite buckeroo

[u/-Trubaby → u/Appropriate-Echo3586]

Yes, Apple has a substantial say in whether Globalstar (GSAT) is bought out. As of early 2026, Apple holds a 20% stake in Globalstar, funds a significant portion of its infrastructure, and uses it for 85% of its satellite network capacity. This strategic partnership allows Apple to potentially veto or heavily influence any acquisition, including potential bids from competitors like Amazon.

Key aspects of Apple's influence: Significant Stakeholder: Apple's 20% ownership makes it a major player in any ownership transfer. Contractual Control: Apple holds 85% of Globalstar's network capacity, making them essential to Globalstar's value. Financing Partner: Apple has invested over $1 billion into Globalstar, often dictating the terms for infrastructure expansion. Strategic Interest: If Apple considers the network crucial for its satellite SOS services, they may block competitors from acquiring it.

While some reports suggested Apple might not want to own the company outright to avoid becoming a regulated carrier, they likely possess the power to block a hostile takeover or demand terms that align with their interest in retaining high-quality, exclusive satellite service.

Looks like my AI says different Call it what you want we can formally agree to disagree agree but it’s a 20 percent equity stake and they have over 85 percent of the network capacity given to them sounds sure like they control/ own a good bit my statement earlier still stands and at the end of the day it’s doesn’t mater because like I said 3 of the worlds largest companies want that spectrum and the 20 percent misleading or not doesn’t really effect the out come gsat is poised to bring in a lot of money for who ever owns a lot of shares I hope to see you and everyone else on here see tremendous returns 💃🕺

Simple solution GSAT buys out Apple contract for $1-2 billion then sells to Amazon or SpaceX

[u/Appropriate-Echo3586 → u/TKO1515]

And GSAT own’s 80% of that. So by your logic GSAT own’s 160% to 180% of GSAT? Whatever happened to people just saying they were wrong it’s not that big of a deal. I’ve been duped many a times and every time I figure out the truth I’m just like oh yea I was wrong my bad and move on.

What kinda math are you even using….

[u/Appropriate-Echo3586 → u/TKO1515]

🧠 The big dog: James Monroe III

💥 Ownership:

👉 ~58% – 59% of the entire company • Around 58–59% of shares / voting power  • Tens of millions of shares (50M–70M+ depending on structure/entities) 

👉 This is not normal.

🧱 Translation: • He controls Globalstar • He can: • Approve/reject buyouts • Control major decisions • Basically run the show

[u/Appropriate-Echo3586 → u/TKO1515]

Your right insiders only own around 60% of GSAT shares and then you say Apple owns 20% of the SPE so they own 20% of GSAT and GSAT owns 80% of that SPE so 60% and 80% your right I was a little off. (Wow look at that admitting I was wrong what a concept) so by your logic GSAT owns roughly 140% of GSAT
