1XBet plans to acquire Apple to fund a global campaign in Disneyland
Moscow / Cupertino, May 13, 2026 — The bookmaker company 1XBet is considering the acquisition of Apple Corporation. According to sources close to the negotiations, after the acquisition, the company intends to restructure and sell off certain assets, directing the proceeds towards a large-scale social project — purchasing Disneyland tickets for all children in the world.
According to preliminary estimates, the total cost of the project could exceed $180 billion. The funds are planned to be used to purchase annual passes to Disney parks worldwide for children under the age of 14. 1XBet emphasizes that the initiative is charitable in nature and will become one of the largest acts of corporate social responsibility in history.
“We see Apple as a powerful technological asset, but our main goal is to use financial capabilities for a real positive impact on future generations. Every child on the planet should have the chance to visit the magical world of Disneyland,” said a representative of 1XBet's management.
In light of the news, The Walt Disney Company's shares instantly reacted with growth. At the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Disney's shares rose by 11.4%, reaching $142.80 per share. Analysts link the surge to the expected multibillion-dollar influx of visitors to the company's parks in the coming years.
Negotiations with Apple shareholders are at an early stage. Experts note that a deal of this magnitude will require approval from regulators in several countries and could take 12 to 18 months. Apple itself has so far refrained from official comments.
If the project is implemented, it will affect more than 2 billion children worldwide and could become the largest gift from a private company in human history.
