📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ASCI 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
26 hedge funds hold ASCI right now — the highest count in 2.2 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 — +2500% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+2500% 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 — 100% buying
25 buying0 selling
Last quarter: 25 funds were net buyers (25 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 0 were sellers (0 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+25 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ASCI position: 0 → 0 → 0 → 25. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 96% entered in last year
■ 4% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 96% new
Only 1 funds (4%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~25 new funds/quarter
0 → 0 → 0 → 0 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 0 → 25. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 26 current holders: 25 (96%) entered in the past year, only 1 (4%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 26 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in ASCI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 7.4/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
