CID Holdco, Inc. (DAIC) is currently facing severe pressure in the securities lending market. As of August 25, 2026, the borrow fee for DAIC has reached an aggressive 67.5%. Despite this high cost, the official short interest remains relatively low at 0.1% of shares outstanding, or 34.9K shares, based on the July 31, 2026 settlement. The discrepancy between the extremely high borrow fee and the low official short interest suggests that while the total open position is small, the available supply of shares to borrow has likely evaporated, making it prohibitively expensive for new shorts to enter or for existing shorts to maintain their positions. With a 0.0-month cash runway, the stock remains a high-risk play for both long and short participants.
