$26 billion: Charles Schwab buys BTC-friendly TD Ameritrade
American financial giant Charles Schwab has announced the purchase of its Bitcoin-friendly competitor, broker TD Ameritrade, according to a press release.
The absorption will take place through the exchange of shares, the transaction amount is $26 billion. The premium to shares of TD Ameritrade will be 17% of the weighted average price of its securities for 30 days to November 20.
The brokerage houses are going crazy. They all dropped their fees on stock trading now there is a merger. Are they feeling some pain?
I read something where they actually make more money off interest so more people who deposit and invest the more interest they earn.
