🔒
78% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 78% conviction (2yr+)
■ 8% medium
■ 14% new
28 out of 36 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 4 → 7 → 3 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 7 → 3 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 78% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 78% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 17% new
Of 36 current holders: 28 (78%) 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.
