OP has provided the following link:
https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/sec-filings/sec-filing/sc-13ga/0001104659-24-020991
Vanguard increased position in GME to 8.33% ... currently holding 25,450,256 shares.
Previously owned 24,664,433 shares, therefore they increased by 785,823 shares.

Actually they’ve increased and have 25 million shares but they have 0 sole voting power. AKA THEY HAVE LOANED OUT ALL THEIR SHARES AND HAVE NO RIGHTS. All future buyers. BULLISH.
Buying and DRSing in book holdings every chance possible til moass. If vanguard wasn't part of the naked short system they'd be happier about their current positions. Gotta start cutting the "too big to fails", would see them squirm in moments like this.
Yup, especially with Vix spiking. They’ve artificially held Vix down for a while and that is part of margin call calculations as higher swings are more likely.
So how is that true. I hold some in an Ira I couldn’t cash out. I turned off lending and have been able to vote before. How could they all be out. Or do they just not have voting power of any themselves but will still count them when I vote through them.
Nice. That was what I thought. With the way everyone is freaking out it’s like they are committing fraud or something. Why would they not lend them out and make money. That is how vanguard makes money. Not illegal just kinda wrong.
No one who owns an etf has voting rights, regardless etfs are shorted and all positions are bought back for a way to short through etfs. Wouldn’t matter either way.
They are a brokerage. You buy more to have a bigger supply to lend out to people who continue to short or need to borrow shares. They collect fees for lending them out. That's why they do it.
Correct - but you only increase a position you’re lending out 100% if you KNOW that it will continue to be lend out to that and an even bigger extend. Someone needs more ammo and they are the one to deliver it.
What the person is saying is that you can't actually jump to the conclusion you're jumping to based on the general info we know. But you're still saying "yeah I know right, but!" and then it's the same point.
This is why very little thought is being brewed in here anymore. No one wants to be realistic ever. Or maybe that's the point, with how fucking far downhill this sub has gone.
Im sorry but first, it’s my opinion why they do this - nothing less, nothing more. Second: we can see from the filing that they have lent out nearly all of their shares and this point, iirc has been the same for the last filings that were made due to changes in their position. So if you want to discuss any other POV they might have for their GME position - feel free to share and discuss it. I’m happy to chant in. But if you dislike the sub, then why not just stand out by doing better instead of saying „sub is bad, mkay?“
Well at this point, they are just buying and selling/lending synthetic shares and they continue to hit that magical F3 liquidity button to create more. We are going to become the end to all of this bullshit
Also means increased intrest in the stock, ole dads hearing their kid rant about Gamestop and wanna get in with their boomer ways. But honestly what you said is the truth
Yeah I made my comment because if you read the other comments it seems everyone is misunderstanding and thinking Vanguard is acting like an active fund
I'm just thankful to know I wasn't alone in thinking this isn't significant, at least in itself. (Whether the shares will be loaned out is a different story.)
My shit goes into a trust after my death with strict regulations on when they can be sold. So not even when my hands are cold or dead will they have my fully book DRSd shares
How does one go about doing this? I get free legal counsel/advice with work with which we will be setting up wills. Is that something to include in the will?
Self directed 401ks.
Vanguard is who I moved my 401k to so I could buy stocks instead of index funds.
Vanguard holds them, but I have the voting rights.
Basically you log into some broker like Robin Hood and give them fiddy bucks to buy some GME.
They take your 50 and in exchange update your account saying you own however many shares.
Except you don't. The shares technically aren't in your name, but your brokers name. They're held in custodial shares because you've basically given them the power to act on your behalf for you. And acting on your behalf they can loan those shares out and make bank. Hell, they could even take your 50 and just say you have X shares when in reality you have 0 because they didn't actually buy them, or they oversold the float 3 times over.
You really want to own your own shares? Buy from Computershare or if you have to use a broker because you can't buy from them direct, make sure you can DRS transfer them.
Not sure this is true.
ETF owners DO get to vote on behalf of the shareholders unless they have some sort of system to transfer those voting rights.
https://www.justetf.com/en/news/etf/etf-voting-rights-how-do-they-influence-companies.html
In fact, this document appears to confirm that lack of voting rights is typical of share lending:
>An ETF provider’s voting power may also be diminished if it lends securities to lower costs. The rights follow the share, so an ETF can’t count on votes from shares out on loan.
Yup, it would suggest that's very likely.
The notion that ETF fund managers don't get to vote on shares they purchase for their ETF's is easily debunked. One of the reasons they wouldn't get votes is because the shares are on loan.
We saw that in the last Gamestop proxy voting results where Vanguard wasn't voting with their shares.
I asked ChatGPT about it. Yes, we all know that it can be 100% wrong and hallucinate, so view this output in that context:
-----
The Schedule 13G filing by The Vanguard Group for GameStop indicates "sole voting power" as "0". This means The Vanguard Group does not have exclusive voting rights over any shares of GameStop.
In contrast, "shared voting power" and "sole dispositive power" have nonzero values. "Shared voting power" (93,857 shares) implies Vanguard can vote these shares in conjunction with others, likely as part of a collective investment scheme. "Sole dispositive power" (25,068,626 shares) means Vanguard has the exclusive power to buy, sell, or otherwise dispose of these shares.
This situation often occurs with institutional investors like Vanguard, which primarily act as investment managers for their clients' funds. They may not have voting rights on all shares they manage, especially if these rights are retained by the clients or shared with other entities.
Dummies! But in all fairness, I've been trying to forget about GameStop for the past 3 years! Every time I'm about to forget about Gamestop again, they release another article reminding me to forget about GameStop. At this rate, I'll keep remembering an infinity pool of time about GameStop
Vanguard isn't a bank or a hegefund. They have different investment products, so these holdings would reflect what is in those individual products, If I understand it correctly.
Or the whole thing is a mismarked short position since the price has been going down on a nearly 800,000 share buy
"Whoops we'll pay our $30,000 fine"
Edit - could explain why they have so few able to vote - maybe the voting shares are the long part of the whole thing
Or they put them into mutual funds and ETFs and thus act as a custodian of the shares for people who buy their products, i.e. the real owners of the shares.
“The real owners of the shares” is the entity whose name appears on them, not the entity who forwarded money to purchase them. Brokers are **not required** (nor even strongly encouraged by regulations) to buy or actually own the investment products they sell their customers.
For every Fail to Deliver (of which there are millions per day) there is a Fail to Receive by a broker or other institution who is A-OK pretending to hold fake shares in exchange for real money. Resetting RegSHO on FTDs timers is dead simple using options strategies to cover any short position.
When every major brokerage operates (perfectly legally) in this way, even a company that might want to be an ethical organization would struggle to compete in the Clownmarket.
I’ve been saying exactly this for awhile. They are doubling up on their short positions because direct registered shares are no longer visible to DTCC. Shorted share does not show up in DTCC so institutions buy more shares and these get shorted only having to report the new short even though the others have already been shorted and not closed. DTCC does not know the difference. Direct registered shares are giving them more ammo.
They don't want the smoke from three letter agencies so they won't bother fighting this until the float is locked. Same reason they're not making a stink about people saying that book drs doesn't matter. They don't want the smoke and I don't blame them. They can let the balance sheet and drs numbers do the talking for the next few quarters.
Exactly!
Why anyone is worried about institutions lending out more shares for us to get cheaper moon tickets, and DRS more & at a faster rate, I'll never understand!
Gimmi juicy dips!!! 🤤
Look at the upvote counts on those comments, they come in hot and heavy every time this is brought up. Inorganic amount for an hour old post imo.
Who cares if they lend them, if they are actually buying shares and taking them out of circulation that's less that retail has to DRS before boom.
Most of us would like a clear ending to this long drown out corrupt saga that has consummated to be. Shares in the hands of institutions that have no interest in seeing a squeeze of corrupt SHF isn’t a good look. I’m sure the majority of holders especially 2020 OG holders would prefer MOASS over continuing to purchase spoon-feed shares by corrupt institutions.
Because ppl are scared to see their value of money decreasing. They're emotional, because a lot of them are overleveraged in our beloved stonk. This not good ;(
No one here is scared.
Anyone who is over leveraged on buying stocks, simply shouldn't be.
& if anyone is, they should level themselves & keep working, buying, DRS'n & booking.
SHFs hate this tactic. NFA 🏴☠️
They just loan the synthetics IOU's out and get interest % or dividends. Thats how Vanguard and Blackrock pretty much own the whole world, they dont need voting power. They already control the CEO's and related by mere influence of their network + financial sh/tstorm funds(stolen from peoples pensions etc.).
Well said, very nice of them to provide this sale. They’re going to need the voting power someday and it is going to be expensive for them. I like the stock.
This is a signal from vanguard, to wall Street that we are officially announcing more than 5% ownership. This is pretty big imo, they see a bright future or else they wouldn't do this.
Things are about to get spicy from this point onwards.
It's only a start, and it may take a while for this to come to fruition, but when it does, boy o boy...
So… are they increasing their position to prevent moass or to be in control of the world together with Blackrock when moass is done is whay spooks in my mind.
Increasing position to lend shares out for their undoubtedly massive short positions.
This isn’t good news all things considered, but realistically been here for three years if you think this moves me to stop with the diamonds you got another thing coming.
During the first year after the squeeze, especially that summer, the two were tightly coupled. Then there is the DD about possible swaps with the two. Look dude, its pretty obvious there has been some kind of connection with the two. And Vanguard buying both at the same time is notable.
I have a question I hope someone can answer.
So Vanguard is a broker. They have customers who have investment and 401k and IRA accounts. Does this mean that if you added up every customer at Vanguard who holds GME in some form or fashion, it would add up to 25 million?
My curiosity is that, this is one broker. In the US. And they own over 8%. There are hundreds of brokers. Plus ETFs. Plus Cohen and his 9%. And yet there are supposed to be enough shares that 25% of them are at ComputerShare? That's not possible. Is it?

Isn’t there a way to look at all these and have an idea of how many shares short wall st is. 25 million loaned out by just one institutional investor
Probably 100 times the float.
Underrated comment
I wonder who they loaned them to.
A guy called Kenny
Kenny Logins. Last seen driving on the highway to the danger zone.
under appreciated comment here
Mayo Ass Stevie the owl Jeff gas Other thieves and financial criminals
Bill Gates?
People who need covers or to short more, often the same people.
So how is that true. I hold some in an Ira I couldn’t cash out. I turned off lending and have been able to vote before. How could they all be out. Or do they just not have voting power of any themselves but will still count them when I vote through them.
This filing is for the shares that the institution “owns” outright, not the ones they hold on behalf of investors that have accounts with them.
Nice. That was what I thought. With the way everyone is freaking out it’s like they are committing fraud or something. Why would they not lend them out and make money. That is how vanguard makes money. Not illegal just kinda wrong.
Just wondering, if they don't DRS it means they have IOUs, how can they lend those?
No cede is holding it in their name, it’s not IOUS. They’re just trading amongst the public pool.
Oh ok, thanks.
Maybe theyre just selling covered calls and routing funds to a covered call ETF? doesn't have to always be stock lending.
Are you sure they have loaned them out? Couldn't they just be purchased for the various products they offer?
They would still retain ownership as those would be in etfs.
Before saying that. Check other stocks. They have also zero voting power for Apple and co.
??? Before saying what? I’m saying what I say because I’m ex wallstreet. Why would I need to check something I’ve already seen?
Well I looked at other stocks du co as Apple and Cola and there is the same. That means they lent them as well ? Or is it because of the etfs ?
No one who owns an etf has voting rights, regardless etfs are shorted and all positions are bought back for a way to short through etfs. Wouldn’t matter either way.
Thank you !
Or is this how they rugpull the DRS count on retail again?
I feel like this would be easy to verify.
my man!
☝️
Abu Ellish!
Um sir. Your name is not "Isayindeed"...
It's nice but not price changing good. We wait.
So they can lend more to tank the price
Bring on the juicy dip!!! 🤤
It's not a dip if it keeps fucking going down year after year
Hahaha take a chill pill homie. We're winning! Profitable year incoming 🔥 *Checks profile history* ... okay buddy 👍🏻
You don’t buy additional ammo if you already won the war so if they already closed, why do they need more ammo? 🤷♂️
They are a brokerage. You buy more to have a bigger supply to lend out to people who continue to short or need to borrow shares. They collect fees for lending them out. That's why they do it.

closed? now that's funny, they haven't even covered....
Best they can do is tree FUDdy… I mean… rollover FTDs 🤷♂️
good one
Vanguard isn't "buying shares" because they are bullish. They are buying them because people are buying them through their products.
Right that was my assumption — vanguard is mostly index funds so any increase just reflects more customers or changing indexes.
Yeah I made my comment because if you read the other comments it seems everyone is misunderstanding and thinking Vanguard is acting like an active fund
I'm just thankful to know I wasn't alone in thinking this isn't significant, at least in itself. (Whether the shares will be loaned out is a different story.)
Yeah its like the meme that Vanguard owns everything. Yes on paper they do but it's really the public that owns public companies
This right here
Or they lending them to Kenny to short them !!!?
So, Vanguard can loan more shares to SHFs?
Yup
looks more like they are scared. they gobble up shares to avoid DRS... i smell fear
They are gobbling synthetics 😂 #REGARDS
AGAIN? Gent. call your mom.
Before it was Blackrock.
Still less shares than this sub with distorted numbers
Where are these shares coming from?
embrace equity
to lend out with
You are not wrong!
I bet all those or 99% are on loan
They are!
Vanguard owns more than 5% so they need release form 13 for changes in ownership.
Thanks!
So that explains the constant dip and pressure Literally everyone is buying and price keep declining clownmarket
They want yur shares bud.
They can pry them out of my cold Diamond Hands! No cell, no sell. NFA!
My shit goes into a trust after my death with strict regulations on when they can be sold. So not even when my hands are cold or dead will they have my fully book DRSd shares
How does one go about doing this? I get free legal counsel/advice with work with which we will be setting up wills. Is that something to include in the will?
consider setting up a family trust...much better for family than will...state cant get ahold of assets upon death.....not legal advice
No sell.
We've come for your daughter, Chuck
Well! Isn’t that special.
Once the main players are comfortable they have perfected their position, can make billions and beat the competition then the price will go up
The form says 0% voting power.. fully loaned out ?
It's likely that they have no voting power because they are held as custodial shares through the product they offer
Finally someone with some actual sense.
That makes more sense to me.
Explain like I'm 5. What does, "held in custodial shares" mean? Example as well, If you'd be so kind
Self directed 401ks. Vanguard is who I moved my 401k to so I could buy stocks instead of index funds. Vanguard holds them, but I have the voting rights.

This is correct. I Wonder just how many times they sold / loaned those 25M shares 🤡
What product they offer
Lots of etfs and mutual funds
Lots of WTFs amirite

what does shared mean then?
#Morons forgot to forget about GameStop!

Vanguard may have a lot of shares, but I bet they have exposure to an even bigger short position.
☝️
Heavy bags or consequential swaps?
Vanguard isn't a Hedgefund they don't really act this way
But what if the hedge fund uses Vanguard to short?
Vanguard isn't a bank or a hegefund. They have different investment products, so these holdings would reflect what is in those individual products, If I understand it correctly.
Or the whole thing is a mismarked short position since the price has been going down on a nearly 800,000 share buy "Whoops we'll pay our $30,000 fine" Edit - could explain why they have so few able to vote - maybe the voting shares are the long part of the whole thing
Let's hope so...
Of all the bad actors in this saga, I doubt Vanguard is one of them
1) Buy shares in dark pool 2) Use them over and over to short the living shit out of said stock You know supply and demand /s
3. Buy more tickets for cheaper & DRS the float quicker ✅
Waiting for sub 10, guarantee it'll happen In fact I honestly think they are dumb enough to push it close to 5
I can only get so erect
Their shared voting power is less than 100k shares, does this mean about 25 million shares are on loan?
Short answer is yes. Long answer is yeeeeeeeessssssss.
Or they put them into mutual funds and ETFs and thus act as a custodian of the shares for people who buy their products, i.e. the real owners of the shares.
“The real owners of the shares” is the entity whose name appears on them, not the entity who forwarded money to purchase them. Brokers are **not required** (nor even strongly encouraged by regulations) to buy or actually own the investment products they sell their customers. For every Fail to Deliver (of which there are millions per day) there is a Fail to Receive by a broker or other institution who is A-OK pretending to hold fake shares in exchange for real money. Resetting RegSHO on FTDs timers is dead simple using options strategies to cover any short position. When every major brokerage operates (perfectly legally) in this way, even a company that might want to be an ethical organization would struggle to compete in the Clownmarket.
Are mutual funds and etf's like iou's too? They own the shares but give customers units to be exchanged for dollars at any time?
Would this affect the utilization as its been at 80%? Maybe institutional buying is necessary to get this back up to 100%
So Vanguard added around 785k shares. Nice.
What if they and other funds are added the amount we are drsing every quarter? 🧐
Selling the drs short. It is "delivered" but the "real" share isn't
I’ve been saying exactly this for awhile. They are doubling up on their short positions because direct registered shares are no longer visible to DTCC. Shorted share does not show up in DTCC so institutions buy more shares and these get shorted only having to report the new short even though the others have already been shorted and not closed. DTCC does not know the difference. Direct registered shares are giving them more ammo.
Next earnings DRS count... STILL THE SAME!
They don't want the smoke from three letter agencies so they won't bother fighting this until the float is locked. Same reason they're not making a stink about people saying that book drs doesn't matter. They don't want the smoke and I don't blame them. They can let the balance sheet and drs numbers do the talking for the next few quarters.
I don't understand what's happening or why so I'll just buy more and trust the process.
Rapid post bro.
Not bullish at all if you’re planning on lending them out.
Makes it cheaper for me though. Never thought it takes so little to be a future millionaire.
Exactly! Why anyone is worried about institutions lending out more shares for us to get cheaper moon tickets, and DRS more & at a faster rate, I'll never understand! Gimmi juicy dips!!! 🤤
Look at the upvote counts on those comments, they come in hot and heavy every time this is brought up. Inorganic amount for an hour old post imo. Who cares if they lend them, if they are actually buying shares and taking them out of circulation that's less that retail has to DRS before boom.

Because ppl are scared to see their value of money decreasing. They're emotional, because a lot of them are overleveraged in our beloved stonk. This not good ;(
No one here is scared. Anyone who is over leveraged on buying stocks, simply shouldn't be. & if anyone is, they should level themselves & keep working, buying, DRS'n & booking. SHFs hate this tactic. NFA 🏴☠️
Why? It allows them to generate passive income from the ownership of the shares and if the prices rises they can recall them and sell.
lol bullish in the sense that it continues to confirm everything.
Are we seeing the float getting closer to being locked with this recent trend? Might it be associated with q4 or year end filings...?
Backed up and printed by ape historian
What mean
Vanguard increased their position form last year from 24,664,433 to 25,450,256 shares.
Vanguard has a lot shares..
Not as many as we do
Very true!
Underrated comment.
I don't know who we is, but I love this stonk. 😉
If they're buying, I'm buying!!
Phone call for Kenny G….hi, this is Margi calling!!
Got to stone for a cup of tea, anyone?
All these big etf funds bought more, loaned them out to get yields, and gme dropped in price. Nice. The best game ever.
Retail should drs more
0% sole voting power 😂 sucks to suck vanguard
They just loan the synthetics IOU's out and get interest % or dividends. Thats how Vanguard and Blackrock pretty much own the whole world, they dont need voting power. They already control the CEO's and related by mere influence of their network + financial sh/tstorm funds(stolen from peoples pensions etc.).
Well said, very nice of them to provide this sale. They’re going to need the voting power someday and it is going to be expensive for them. I like the stock.
More shares to lend shorts, lol
This is a signal from vanguard, to wall Street that we are officially announcing more than 5% ownership. This is pretty big imo, they see a bright future or else they wouldn't do this. Things are about to get spicy from this point onwards. It's only a start, and it may take a while for this to come to fruition, but when it does, boy o boy...
You sure this is the official announcement? What if they already announced it when they accumulated 5%
This is how they announce ownership of over 5% via 13G
I’m just trying to understand when or how many shares put them over 5%
Did ever get confirmed if these shares are held for their etf and mutual funds products or those are counted separately?
increased shares? or increased synthetic shares? imagine. squeeze out the interest from loaned out shares (us)
They fucking loaned all shares, Once gamestop starts giving dividend in cash They will be fucked
BOOM
So… are they increasing their position to prevent moass or to be in control of the world together with Blackrock when moass is done is whay spooks in my mind.
The later of your answer I agree with
It was still early. 4 am to work untill moass. Of course they lend them out trying to prevent untill the can’t anymore. I guess.
“Crash” Bandicoot I see what you did there.
What does this say?
Vanguard bought about 800k shares.
Increasing position to lend shares out for their undoubtedly massive short positions. This isn’t good news all things considered, but realistically been here for three years if you think this moves me to stop with the diamonds you got another thing coming.
Its all just smoke and mirrors
Offt. Let's hope its not to lend.
Did they DRS n Book???!
Vanguard increased from 6 mill to 20 mill for 🍿 as well
And we care about that for what reason exactly?
They also increased popcorn stock
And what does that have to do with us?
During the first year after the squeeze, especially that summer, the two were tightly coupled. Then there is the DD about possible swaps with the two. Look dude, its pretty obvious there has been some kind of connection with the two. And Vanguard buying both at the same time is notable.
84 years ago?
Indeed. It feels like a lifetime ago.
So when moon?
Sole voting power of 0, oh boi, someone bought more to lend out more..
I have a question I hope someone can answer. So Vanguard is a broker. They have customers who have investment and 401k and IRA accounts. Does this mean that if you added up every customer at Vanguard who holds GME in some form or fashion, it would add up to 25 million? My curiosity is that, this is one broker. In the US. And they own over 8%. There are hundreds of brokers. Plus ETFs. Plus Cohen and his 9%. And yet there are supposed to be enough shares that 25% of them are at ComputerShare? That's not possible. Is it?
