📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ATAI 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
131 hedge funds hold ATAI 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 — +58% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+48 new funds entered over the past year (+58% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
73 buying62 selling
Last quarter: 73 funds bought or added vs 62 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~43 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 22 → 47 → 43. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 37% long-term, 42% new
■ 37% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 42% new
Of the 131 current holders: 49 (37%) held >2 years, 27 held 1–2 years, and 55 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +23%, value -5%
Last quarter: funds added +23% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -5%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
22 → 10 → 22 → 47 → 43 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 22 → 47 → 43. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 50% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 50% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 41% new
Of 136 current holders: 68 (50%) 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.

Smaller funds dominant — 17% AUM from top-100
17% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 131 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 17% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
