📈
Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row
For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TBUX 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
85 hedge funds hold TBUX 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 — +107% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+107% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 71% buying
66 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 66 funds were net buyers (27 opened a brand new position + 39 added to an existing one). Only 27 were sellers (16 trimmed + 11 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TBUX position: 13 → 16 → 12 → 27. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 51% entered in last year
■ 14% conviction (2yr+)
■ 35% medium
■ 51% new
Only 12 funds (14%) 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
15 → 13 → 16 → 12 → 27 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 16 → 12 → 27. A growing number of institutions are discovering TBUX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 72% of holders entered in last year
■ 13% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 72% new
Of 85 current holders: 61 (72%) entered in the past year, only 11 (13%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 7% AUM from top-100
7% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 85 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 7% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
