📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KRYS 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
315 hedge funds hold KRYS 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 — +25% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+64 new funds entered over the past year (+25% 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
188 buying134 selling
Last quarter: 188 funds bought or added vs 134 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 (+40 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KRYS position: 62 → 40 → 43 → 83. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 46% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 29% new
144 out of 315 hedge funds have held KRYS 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+39% value, -1% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional KRYS holdings rose +39% even though funds reduced share count by 1%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
33 → 62 → 40 → 43 → 83 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 62 → 40 → 43 → 83. A growing number of institutions are discovering KRYS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 50% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 50% veterans
■ 21% 1-2yr
■ 29% new
Of 322 current holders: 161 (50%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 315 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in KRYS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
