📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added MJ 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 (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
116 hedge funds hold MJ right now — the highest count in 2.0 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.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding MJ is almost the same as a year ago (+2 funds, +2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
29 buying30 selling
Last quarter: 30 funds reduced or exited vs 29 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~18 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 27 → 18 → 18. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 30% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 67% medium
■ 30% new
Only 3 funds (3%) 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
18 → 27 → 27 → 18 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 27 → 18 → 18. MJ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 1% veterans, 39% new entrants
■ 1% veterans
■ 60% 1-2yr
■ 39% new
Of 121 current holders: 1 (1%) held 2+ years, 73 held 1–2 years, 47 (39%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 115 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
