Visa Adds and a Mastercard Foundation Cut
This is an AI analysis of an interesting pattern in QuantyFight data derived from SEC 13F holdings: verified dollar prints center on Visa adds (TCI ~−$514M; Viking ~+$515M) and a large Mastercard cut from Mastercard Foundation Asset Management (~−$7.44B). Manager-count breadth stays elevated in V/MA/NU; a smaller verified HOOD add is Paradigm (~+$91M) rather than an unverified Multicoin $61.7M 100%-of-book framing.

Visa and Mastercard manager flow
On QuantyFight’s hedge-flagged managers-increasing KPI, V ranks #7 with 59 managers increasing; MA ranks #10 with 39. Decreasing counts are also material (V 38 / MA 38), so the networks look actively rebalanced rather than one-way crowded.
V / MA manager counts
| Ticker | Increasing | Decreasing | Entering | Exiting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V | 59 | 38 | 15 | 21 |
| MA | 39 | 38 | — | — |

Nu Holdings in the increase list
NU appears with 27 managers increasing (and 23 decreasing) on the same QuantyFight count KPIs — a fintech name sitting next to the card networks in breadth of activity.
HOOD — verified smaller add context
The Multicoin ~$61.7M / 100%-of-book print is not used as a verified Q1 payments headline here. A verified smaller HOOD add among Q1 entry/add leaders is Paradigm ~+$91M — a fintech footnote beside the much larger verified V/MA dollar prints.
