■ 18% medium
■ 55% new
Of the 11 current holders: 3 (27%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 6 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.

🌱
Early stage — 64% of holders entered in last year
■ 36% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 64% new
Of 11 current holders: 7 (64%) entered in the past year, only 4 (36%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
✅
Strong quality — 27% AUM from major funds
27% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 11 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 27% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
