📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BITB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
296 hedge funds hold BITB 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 — +35% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+76 new funds entered over the past year (+35% 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 — 59% buying
189 buying131 selling
Last quarter: 189 funds bought or added vs 131 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BITB position: 54 → 57 → 44 → 56. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 32% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 65% medium
■ 32% new
Only 8 funds (3%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +7%, value -18%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -18%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~56 new funds/quarter
84 → 54 → 57 → 44 → 56 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 54 → 57 → 44 → 56. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 58% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 41% 1-2yr
■ 58% new
Of 306 current holders: 178 (58%) entered in the past year, only 2 (1%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 9% AUM from top-100
9% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 296 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 9% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
