📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GAIA 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
69 hedge funds hold GAIA 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 — +60% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+60% 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 — 57% buying
37 buying28 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds bought or added vs 28 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 (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GAIA position: 14 → 6 → 11 → 20. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 55% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 29% new

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
5 → 14 → 6 → 11 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 6 → 11 → 20. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 32% newcomers
■ 64% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 32% new
Entry-cohort mix of 69 holders: 44 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 3 entered 1–2 years ago, and 22 (32%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds
26% from top-100 AUM funds

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
