📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MVST 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
168 hedge funds hold MVST 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 — +147% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+100 new funds entered over the past year (+147% 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
98 buying74 selling
Last quarter: 98 funds bought or added vs 74 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 29 → 48 → 54 → 39. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
41% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 41% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 33% new
69 out of 168 hedge funds have held MVST 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -24%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -24%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
21 → 29 → 48 → 54 → 39 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 29 → 48 → 54 → 39. A growing number of institutions are discovering MVST each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 58% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 58% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Of 176 current holders: 102 (58%) 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 — 50% AUM from top-100 funds
50% from top-100 AUM funds
35 of 168 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in MVST. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
