📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BILL positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 82% of 3.0Y peak
82% of all-time peak
335 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 408 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
51 fewer hedge funds hold BILL compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
183 buying216 selling
Last quarter: 216 funds reduced or exited vs 183 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-18 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 59 → 78 → 79 → 61. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 54% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 21% new
180 out of 335 hedge funds have held BILL for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -35%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -35%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

New funds entering each quarter: 59 → 78 → 79 → 61. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 66% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 66% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 375 current holders: 247 (66%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
52 of 335 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
