At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
688 hedge funds hold OKTA 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.
📶
Steady growth — +9% more funds vs a year ago

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
349 buying401 selling

■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 26% new

47% from top-100 AUM funds
44 of 688 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in OKTA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
