Smart Money Signals — BITB

Based on 272 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BITB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 86% of 3.0Y peak

86% of all-time peak
272 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 315 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
18 fewer hedge funds hold BITB compared to a year ago (-6% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

136 buying136 selling
Last quarter: 136 funds bought or added vs 136 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 (-17 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 47 → 58 → 46 → 29. 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.
📌

Mixed — 31% long-term, 25% new

■ 31% conviction (2yr+) ■ 45% medium ■ 25% new
Of the 272 current holders: 83 (31%) held >2 years, 122 held 1–2 years, and 67 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

63 → 47 → 58 → 46 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 47 → 58 → 46 → 29. BITB 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 — 25% veterans, 33% new entrants

■ 25% veterans ■ 43% 1-2yr ■ 33% new
Of 281 current holders: 69 (25%) held 2+ years, 120 held 1–2 years, 92 (33%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅

Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds

21% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 272 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
