What are you talking about it? What ratio? You obviously don’t know “why” considering you post about a ratio. Why would that make a difference when the OS is 5,849,230,600? Today’s short interest is 75,098, that’s not even $200, but if you want a “ratio”, try ..00001%. Even with the most rabid short conspiracy theorist, it’s not a significant percentage. Obviously.

When a customer enters an order to buy 1,000 shares of ABC stock, the broker-dealer may immediately sell to the customer 1,000 ABC shares (marked “short” in compliance with SEC Regulation SHO) and then immediately buy 1,000 shares of ABC in the open market. In this example, the 1,000-shttps://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ASTA/securityhare short sale would be reflected in the short sale volume data but did not result in a short position.
