Official Short Interest Update for GME
GameStop (GME) continues to be a focal point for short-selling analysis. According to the latest official FINRA data released for the settlement date of August 14, 2026, there were 54,036,583 shares sold short, representing 13.21% of the float. It is critical for investors to understand that this figure is the official bi-monthly settlement data, which is inherently stale compared to intraday market movements. While this provides a reliable baseline for the total open short position, it does not capture the daily short volume flow or recent changes in borrow fees. Traders should cross-reference this official figure with daily Reg SHO volume data to gauge the current intensity of short-selling pressure.
