13F holders, Q1 2025

Filers in the available 13F reports with a share position at 2025-03-31, filer groups collapsed to one row (method), largest first. Options and principal amounts are left out. A group row states no % of portfolio, since each member reports its own portfolio: the members' percents are listed under it. A value about 1,000 times or 1/1,000 of the price other filers imply is shown as filed but neither ranks the row nor enters a sum.
