📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BKKT 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 (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
103 hedge funds hold BKKT 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 — +84% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+47 new funds entered over the past year (+84% 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 — 58% buying
71 buying51 selling
Last quarter: 71 funds bought or added vs 51 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 43 → 30 → 35 → 19. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 40% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 40% new
Only 23 funds (22%) 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.
💰
Value +43% but shares only +26% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +43%, but actual share count only changed +26%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
20 → 43 → 30 → 35 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 43 → 30 → 35 → 19. BKKT is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 7% veterans, 50% new entrants
■ 7% veterans
■ 42% 1-2yr
■ 50% new
Of 109 current holders: 8 (7%) held 2+ years, 46 held 1–2 years, 55 (50%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds
59% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 98 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in BKKT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
