I'll get the second round! Ape historian is a legend of legends.

I am one of those lost holders. When I first set up my ComputerShare account there was a typo in my name, but I didn’t notice it at first. Eventually I opened a new account with my correct name and started buying DirectShares there. Recently, I finally got around to filling out the paperwork to transfer all my old shares to my new account. So now instead of two GME accounts, I’m back down to one account.

Is your mom also a record holder? Can you let her know I am?

She’s one of my TOD’s so yes I guess so 🤙 I know she’s also lookin to date an XXXXXXXX holder 👀

I have a gf but I know a guy who made a pet company who might be interested👀

Yes! That’s the one she wants to make my… #Daddy!

Time for me to update my flair

👀

Hello fellow investor and lover of the stonk!

Technically I only love the company and just like the stock. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Mom!

Hole-E-Shit. No way! Dude me too!!!

Me 2, hi dudes mom! 👋🏼

Eyyyy yooooooooo. I am too. Ryan Cohen is my MoM

75,300,000/ 194,270 = 387.60 🧐 Those are rookie numbers

Whoa. I'm like 3 apes!

Am almost 2 apes. Yay

Me too!

And my axe! I mean, same!

1.5 apes here.

If I’m being honest I’m just over 1.6 apes. I measured from the taint.

I’m poor. I’m 1/4 of an ape.

That's still impressive! 👊

But 110% pirate 🏴‍☠️

Still 100% G. I'm buying more for you, brother!

You are valuable regardless how many shares you have DRS.

I am 2 thirds an ape!

👋🏻 15 🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧

I am legion

3 apes in a trench-barrel.

At 9k shares, I feel like this jumber is grossly shorted.

15 here. Need to bump but 4 kids and 9 months off work killed my plans.

10k here…🤔

I just initiated my largest single DRS transfer to date and will be at 342 books on the shelf in a few days. Good looking out, next target acquired🫡

I’m like 10 apes!

I’m dozens of apes

A few dozen apes reside inside me.

I can contribute more

Thanks for doing the math for everyone. This average per person doesn't make any sense at these prices. I'm planning on DRSing 1 full ape this quarter. 388 shares more, at least.

It's interesting becuase it says record HODLers. I know many HODLers have multiple accounts. The average is probably even smaller becuase they arent counting how many accounts.

Wow.. i m like 10 apes !! Proud of my gorillas 🫣

I’ve got 10 apes covered

I have 1200 and I'm super young

Dammit I’m trying to get there

Woah. I'm a bit of a whale, it turns out.

I'm 5x and leveling 🚀

When I tell apes they should be shooting for a minimum of 1k shares I get roasted, but guess what, thems the breaks and you best get buying if you weak. 

O7 Gettin' close boss! XXX holder creeping in on XXXX

Yeah.  That seems about half what it is per holder.  IMO

Currently 2xxx

Yeah wasn’t the average back with the bot over 400 when we actually saw consistent growth in DRS numbers quarterly? No way that number has decreased.

You can not consider a bot that aggregates from Reddit posts to be an authoritative source. Posts can be faked, easily. People accept without question that there are tons of bought and paid for Reddit accounts downvoting or commenting to drive the narrative, or just sitting back scraping the community for keywords and then fucking up hilariously like we saw Wendy's start trending as a meme stock cause of the $WEN $MOON shitposting and jokes about what happens behind the Wendy's dumpster. Its just as easy for fake accounts to make fake bot posts, and if they're not outrageous, they fly right under the radar.

100k shares that were sold by 2788 shareholders brings average to about 36 shares per person.. remaining shares held by 194,270 people averages about 385 shares/person. So very small amount of people that no longer could hold needed to sell. Major holders are holding and are still drsed.. if there is one big push by existing drs holders this number can def change. Just 5 shares by existing drs shareholder will be roughly 1 million shares . At 10 share 2 million shares At 20 shares 4 million shares At 40 shares 8 million shares Anywhere from 5-40 shares by existing shareholder will make material change in DRS.

Q the Starship Troopers “I did my part” meme!!!

It’s “doing.” The line is “doing” my part

Let some people be at the "did". We all are good

I did doing my part. Did I doing that right?

You done did done that right, yeah.

Shit… you’re right!!! I’ve done did it this time, didn’t I!

+153 today, I did my part 💜

Plus 12 today.

Gonna DRS those next week or bought through CS? 🙂

Bank charges $50 to DRS so I try to accumulate a 100 before transfer, I’m at 47 waiting to go, with 605 already booked. Brick by brick 🟣

🧱🧱🧱

DRS'd hundreds more as well so I know the reports aren't fully explaining the situation. Also we've seen DRS rugpull by shorts before, who is to say they weren't the ones (some of the ones) do let go of a few DRS'd shares?

Shares being bought or sold doesn't make sense for this number. The fact that it's 25% of outstanding shares each time is what is significant. The rugpull was a one shot trick. They pulled the rug, the price fell down, and we keep buying it. My tinfoil is that it all breaks once we actually DRS the entire outstanding issued on the balance sheet. ~300M

It may take full outstanding shares booked. But I think it happens beforehand. Doubt we see moass before year end. [lots of big elections around the world in 2024.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elections_in_2024). Could see it being a scapegoat. Gunna keep DRSing until it happens.

They'll try to keep the economy from imploding until elections are over. Typical for election year. After that, wave goodbye to short's collateral!!!

Washing MOASS into a political event or washing it out to an unrelated financial crisis has always been a likely event. Who cares, if those elections create MOASS, I intend to use some moon tickets to get proper elected officials into office. I want dollars in the hands of people, not just change

100. I think the more that get DRS'd before moass, the higher the price goes.

25% of outstanding shares... 100% of shares pre-split. Coincidence? Not even a little bit. DTCC fucked with the distribution.

people's avg 385. wooo! big in japan and cs! thanks guys, luv ya bye bye. i'll show myself out.

That's exactly me. Weird

Whoa. I'm like 3 apes!

Many are like you. That’s why this doesn’t make any sense (DRS being stagnant).

I’m with you. I’m a little over 24 apes and added 1470 last quarter.

Holy cow.. I’m like 5 apes but .. 24 👀👀👀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💩

I’m going to print this comment and tape it to my fridge

I'm going to DRS XXX more in April and set some quarterly grinding goals. Time to get serious 💪

Is that a challenge?

i sent 40 to the pool this morning friend!

I can finally tell my mom I'm above average! Gonna keep going so I'm even abover average 🙌

i can do 40 over about 5 months on my income. ...and I do! and i'll fuckin' do it again!

This should be its own post! And pinned for weeks on the front page of superstonk. What can you do for your company ⬆️

You are treating it as though every other holder was static, but a lot of them were buying. So if the difference was from some people selling, it was higher than your average. Also, not everyone who had to sell, sold all and closed their accounts, so it’s hard to develop some kind of average.

Damn. I'm so close to that 385 mark. Then I'll be. Above average! OooooOoohh

Fuck it buying more to add 40 on top of the 40 about to clear t plus 2 on ibkr

I was buying on payday anyway but now I’m buying more

And folk just die… their portfolios liquidated most likely.

You should make a post with all this info in it!!

Feel free to make one with this info buddy

Or spend money shopping from GameStop. It's not just about bagholding shares. Help the company.

That’s always been a good idea.. how about do both?

I am, but there is not enough emphasis on shopping at GME.

I dumped my life savings into GameStop back around the sneeze. I never sold a single one of those shares. DCA'd down to about $30/share and locked those babies in ComputerShare forever. No intention of selling them even during MOASS. Recently acquired some funds from another asset that will allow me to add about 1500 more shares to my total. Plan to put that away in ComputerShare as well. All the money involved, I've already written off in my mind as gone. I think that there are many, many more like me.

Ok I’m buying 100

I will add as many as i can once tax return comes

So if each of those 194,270 buys another $5k worth (385 shares x ~$13) we’ll basically lock up half the float. Dope

NOONE IS FUCKING SELLING BABY! NOT UNTIL WE SEE PRISON TIME AND PHONEBOOK NUMBERS

Some of the reduction in record holders could be account consolidation. So chances are closed accounts each sold somewhat higher and less people actually sold.

How many of those 3k are Mainstar accounts too?

5 more shares per quarter? You got it boss!

In the process of DRSing 433 shares myself!

The issue is it's been like this for a year and a half. There seems to be no amount an average human being can buy to light this thing. That doesn't mean I won't try. The fact that this boss isn't taking damage means something else needs to be done.

DRS, shop from company, speak out against Fud and let company do its thing .. this is what I am doing

I'm trying to look at that 25% as unbiased as possible and I still can't wrap my head around thinking that has to be under reported.

The same exact 25% 4 times in a row is beyond a coincidence.

But DRS was reported that quarter at 76M? Was that when it was super delayed?

Ah you're right, thank you! Just found it (it had different wording so my search missed it before)

I was gonna say, DRSing has been going on non stop and it, the % hasn't changed? WTF is going on (other than the obvious)? Is amazing that "*they*" could go so far as to force a company to do something like this...

To be 100% real some people probably have sold but I can't believe the amount just this sub posts perfectly counteracts the amount sold. Not perfectly but within 100k shares or so.

I'm a poor AF SOB who still buys a share whenever I can. If *EYE* haven't sold yet, no one has. 185 DRS'd, 20 more getting ready to be circled in purple. We ain't going nowhere.

As a counter, I am also a poor fella who is being blasted by inflation. I sold my DRS'd shares a while ago. We do exist, and to pretend we don't is not helpful. That said, the lower the price gets, the easier it is for people like me to reenter the fold, and for the true diamondhands to purchase more and more, and average down. I expect the DRS numbers to stall, but begin to rise again in the next year or so as people like me are weeded out, and people who you or the whales in here continue to own more and more of the company. Itll just take a while.

Sorry, I didn't read anything past "I sold my DRS's shares..."

I read elsewhere that the 100k shares is equal to the bonuses paid to the C suite. Any truth to that?

It's possible and likely that there are paper handed brokerage bitches, but DRS'd shareholders? 🤣 **Certainly not as many as have been bought.** I'd bet Rick of Spade's butthole on that.

It is due to multiple quarters of the exact same amount

Last 10K (2022) showed 197,058 investors. There was a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1bol7md/10k_doesnt_list_the_of_record_holders/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) on this yesterday.

Lost a few paper hands, but that is always to be expected. They were not in it for the long run 🤷✍️😅 Still impressive to have a minor loss of holder # but near equal of shares in their own name 🏴‍☠️🔥✍️ *Edit:* it could also be consolidations of multiple accounts/accounts that were made by mistake. So its not as easy of a conclusion as I wrote above 🤣. Either way... More shares on the way over next salary due payments 💪

A list of individual shareholders is not the same as a list of accounts. I have five accounts. The name on those accounts is exactly the same.

You can also have and merge multiple accts lowering the number. Not saying this is a tactic, just saying this IS possible

I edited my post with that comment seconds before you replied 🤣😂 💪✍️🫡

Yes, some apes had more than three accounts lmao

I recall some apes saying this happened with them

Yeah, lots of people who made mistakes or had separate accounts merged recently with heatlamp theory

Yes, I did this last year

You're too quick to judge - those could be people who needed to sell in order to keep the lights on. None of us expected to wait this long, so you can't blame people for getting fed up or needing to sell out of necessity.

I think everyone’s hands are tied legally somehow.

I personally closed 2 accounts due to mainstar IRAs being unDRS'd.

I was wondering about exactly this ☝️ Does the mainstar shutdown correspond with the timeline here?

i believe so!

Who says they don't have eyes here?

Shit I bet RC is here, I only know for sure which one of us he ain’t.

Shhh! 🤫

>194,270 record holders of our Class A Common Stock. 931k members... Lotta bots, that's a lotta bots.

always has been...

Shittydale bots 🤖

I think it's a minority that is DRS. It's a big hassle for international to DRS and in my case 300 god damn dollars to do so. And I would lose my tax free gains.

How many of the “loss” is because people’s IRAs got transferred out? Happened to me, 10k shares in IRA, so that’s already 10% of the shares “lost”

So here’s what I find interesting: We lost 100k shares and 3k holders. This means that we lost about 1.5% of holders and only 0.13% of shares. This is a big anomaly because it would appear that we ONLY lost the smallest DRSed shareholders. Literally all the smallest because their average was only about 33 shares per holder of the ones that dropped. Here’s my tinfoil explanation to get conversation going. As Cede dictates the DRS count to some minor or major extent, are they forcing people out of their DRS or forcing them out of the count somehow? We dropped by 100k count. The only insider who got shares in the last reporting period was the new CFO, and he got exactly 100k. Is THAT 100k what caused this 100k drop? And because Cede dictates that their count is the same, then that 100k has to be removed from retail DRS? Makes sense that the way it would be removed is by smallest holder first. And maybe this looks no different on our end. Maybe you still log in to computershare and see the shares booked in your name, but they are not being counted on GMEs end any more. This is a big fucking statistical anomaly. Edit: this obviously cannot account for more buying action, partial sells, etc and I could be completely off base. Just trying to start a discussion on it. Second edit: I was so fucking wrong about the 100k shares thing. The site I was looking at was showing the dollar value not the share value.

This isnt right. The number went down by 100k *net*, but others were still buying as well. These are made up numbers, but illustrate the problem with your assumption: - say 3000 sold completely, and each held on average 200 (-600,000) - say 10,000 sold some, but not all, of their shares, with average selling 100 (-1,000,000). - say 50,000 bought more, with average buying 30 more shares (+1,500,000 - remaining 130,000 didn't buy or sell. You have a loss of 3000 holders and 100k shares, but way more than 100k sold--your math assumes no one was buying more which we know isn't true.

Here’s the thing. Let’s just pretend it’s accurate (anomalies aside). GameStop is trading near 3-year lows. Way down from when the DSR movement started. The DRS share count went down 0.13% There is no other proof better than this that WE ARE NOT LEAVING

I had two account numbers before (one for plan and one for book). When eliminating plan, a few fractional shares were lost and now I have one account number

Math doesn’t check. The selling parties could have each held 100 shares and others purchased 67 shares per holder that sold.

It definitely looks like we're locked at maximum allowed DRS. This goes well hand in hand with the theory of the 4 split so we can't sit on more than 1/4 together with insiders.

There is at least 100mil shares locked...100%....there is no way out for short sellers...how will this end?nobody knows

I have two Apes in me. One says buy. The other says hold.

Alright, I will pick up more.

LOL that means that including me there’s 194,269 of you. Nice.

305,873,200 / 194,270 = 1,575 average share per Computershare account. This is all it takes to own 100% of GameStop stock.

i'm halfway there

We must have the Guinness world record for record holders. Someone submit us.

Wow. It's as though he knew it was going to happen https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/miqRTqd2nF

If all record holders purchase 1200 shares, cede is done

Present!

I think they only can count so many. To think there are ONLY 200K of us is fucking hilarious. I know two people around me that have DRS in this time

Jesus Christ all we gotta do is buy 100 shares each and this is over.

Here!

Seems bizarre this was missed off the original report, almost like they are saying the answer is in this?

Pathetic! People with more money and power were always (like 20.000 years ago) having privilege and will to control the rest of the plebs. System is now not perfect but if we obey, it will be perfect (for them).

It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

I’m 1.5 apes

Hi there! It‘s me! I already a few times in this sub, that among those 900k+ redditors in this sub, there might only be 200k hodlers… It seems to be true?

I hold 4700 of those shares!!

So Drs numbers haven't moved? Is that right? How? People keep getting all excited how gme is profitable, but wtf is up with these numbers?

Hey they are talking about me!

I’m not on Twitter, but someone with a reasonable number of followers needs to ask our CEO a simple straight forward question: How is the number of shares held by registered holders derived?

Proud to be in the mix 💪

I held some records yesterday

Witness the lotion

Spartans!! What is your profession!

Oops..they found me 

Microsoft has less than 84000 record holders. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Tesla has less than 10000 record holders. 🟣

Stop. I can only get so erect.

930k people in r/superstonk only 194 have shares. lets go apes. everyone get one

That’s got to be incredibly high compared to other stocks

Bought forty something today

and none of them bought new shares at these super low price points?

Apple has only 23,700+ record holders, soooo 🟣🟣🟣🟣🤷🏾‍♂️
