— BAWSAQ's slogan

BAWSAQ is America's stock exchange in the GTA Universe, with one their offices located at the corner of Kunzite Street and Burlesque in Star Junction, Algonquin. The main building stands 1,043 ft. tall.

It is a parody of NASDAQ, which is situated in a similarly designed Condé Nast Building in Times Square, New York City. The name, derives from the Scottish slang version of the word "ballsack".

The exchange's slogan is "Dealing with Life's Ups and Downs."

BAWSAQ is often mentioned in Weazel News reports and by some people in Grand Theft Auto IV.

In Grand Theft Auto V it takes on a much larger role, where the player can visit the BAWSAQ website and purchase stocks. It is set to be featured in Grand Theft Auto Online, likely reprising it's role in the single-player mode, but on a much bigger scale.
