No change last quarter

🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
45 hedge funds hold BTA 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.
📶
Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
20 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 20 funds bought or added vs 17 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 — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 7 → 8 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💰
Value +774% but shares only +58% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +774%, but actual share count only changed +58%. 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.

Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
8 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 7 → 8 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
