📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BNAI 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
39 hedge funds hold BNAI right now — the highest count in 2.5 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 — +105% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+105% 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 — 80% buying
33 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 33 funds were net buyers (24 opened a brand new position + 9 added to an existing one). Only 8 were sellers (5 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BNAI position: 4 → 5 → 11 → 24. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 72% entered in last year
■ 8% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 72% new
Only 3 funds (8%) 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 +71%, value -24%
Last quarter: funds added +71% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -24%. 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
3 → 4 → 5 → 11 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 5 → 11 → 24. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 72% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 21% 1-2yr
■ 72% new
Of 39 current holders: 28 (72%) entered in the past year, only 3 (8%) 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 — 61% AUM from top-100 funds
61% from top-100 AUM funds
18 of 39 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in BNAI. 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 5.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
