📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BTE 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.
📊
High ownership — 86% of 3.0Y peak
86% of all-time peak
145 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 169 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding BTE is almost the same as a year ago (-3 funds, -2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
81 buying66 selling
Last quarter: 81 funds bought or added vs 66 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 (+20 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BTE position: 22 → 14 → 15 → 35. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
67% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 13% medium
■ 20% new
97 out of 145 hedge funds have held BTE 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.
💰
Value +115% but shares only +56% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +115%, but actual share count only changed +56%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
20 → 22 → 14 → 15 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 14 → 15 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering BTE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 75% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 75% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Of 156 current holders: 117 (75%) 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 — 28% AUM from major funds
28% from top-100 AUM funds
27 of 145 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% 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.
