One person sees it one way and another sees it in a different way. Thorin wanted the Arkenstone. HE certainly never intended that it was included in the treasusre that could be claimed by Bilbo, even if Bilbo was not aware of that--contract or not. But this is my interpretation and I don't expect everyone will see it my way which is the wonderful thing about the movie--people can muse on things and come up with their own conclusions without the director telling what to think.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the Arkenstone...

No, it was because he knew Thorin was crazy and would try to kill him
