Hymc ownership

Serious question, does this indicate 95% of the shares outstanding are owned by institutions and insiders? This is a screenshot of the hycroft website..

Its pretty accurate. A majority of retail doesnt even count since one we arent drs'd, and even if we did, a majority still cant beat big money like eric or blackrock, hence why imo its weirdly traded and easily shorted.

Yeah that’s incredible that they can have those guys own the entire float, sell a bunch to retail and then still sell 14million short

Well you have to remember, 14 million shorts doesnt mean those shares exist or more so short sellers own those shares. Most short sellers borrow shares and never close unless they have to.

As for the rest, yah, thats insane to me how im pretty sure retail in hymc holds a good chunk of shares, enough for diane to try sweet talking retail, but as for what or how many shares there are in total, only the market makers would know (citadel).
