That's also the definition of a chloride, an iodide, or for that matter any other anion. Hy- is no different in that regard, and equally unlikely to result in an overall negative charge on an object. IOW the negative charge of the Hydrinohydride is balanced by the positive charge on the cations, as in any normal salt.
