DNA Brands Inc (DNAX)

[Ed the Trader]

"Motley Fool Wealth Management LLC owns 19,237,358 shares of DNAX in their Billion Dollar Portfolio as of 6/30/2017>>>>>>http://quotes.wsj.com/DNAX/company-people

A coincidence with DNAX's recent Bitcoin ATM Machines Acquisition and all this insane Volume. I don't think so!!! DNAX run starting folks!!"

Every quarter, the SEC requires all institutional investors, like Motley Fool, to file a report which lists all of their holdings.

This is called a Form 13F-HR, and you can find them available online using the SEC's Edgar system.

Every quarter, Factset Research Systems compiles all of the information from every institutional investor, and they turn all of the data sideways to publish which institutional investors are holding stock in every ticker.

The Dow Jones Newswires then publish the report for each ticker as a news report that shows up in your broker's news feed as company news.

I have been watching the same quarterly report for DNA's institutional investors (actually just the one investor) appear every quarter for years.

In fact, if one looks up the Form 13F-HR quarterly reports available on Edgar, one finds that Motley Fool acquired its DNAX stock in the second quarter of 2015.

You will find the first instance of a report of DNAX in Motley Fool's holdings in its Form 13F-HR filed for period ending 2015-06-30:

In the previous Form 13F-HR filed for period ending 2015-03-31, DNA is not listed as part of Motley Fool's holdings:

Adrian assumed control as the CEO of DNA Brands, Inc. on February 1, 2016. This is well after the timeframe when Motley Fool purchased their DNAX stock.

So, the fact that Motley Fool still holds DNAX stock is completely unrelated to any recent movement in the cryptocurrency sector by DNA.
