Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ARKX than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
127 hedge funds hold ARKX right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +81% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+57 new funds entered over the past year (+81% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 70% buying
82 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 82 funds were net buyers (35 opened a brand new position + 47 added to an existing one). Only 35 were sellers (12 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +78%, value +45%
Last quarter: funds added +78% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +45%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
11 → 21 → 25 → 30 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 25 → 30 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering ARKX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 47% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 47% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 45% new
Of 131 current holders: 62 (47%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 58% AUM from top-100 funds
58% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 127 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 58% of total institutional value in ARKX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
