📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BNO 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
70 hedge funds hold BNO 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 — +126% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+39 new funds entered over the past year (+126% 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 — 89% buying
62 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 62 funds were net buyers (47 opened a brand new position + 15 added to an existing one). Only 8 were sellers (4 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+42 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BNO position: 7 → 6 → 5 → 47. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 31% long-term, 49% new
■ 31% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 49% new
Of the 70 current holders: 22 (31%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 34 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.
💰
Value +1107% but shares only +600% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +1107%, but actual share count only changed +600%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
7 → 7 → 6 → 5 → 47 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 5 → 47. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 48% veterans vs 44% newcomers
■ 48% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 77 holders: 37 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 34 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 30% AUM from major funds
30% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 63 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

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.
