Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $195.21. Options: 108 managers hold calls ($16.0bn notional), 97 hold puts ($16.4bn).

Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.

Their holding: how much the trade added to or took from the insider's holding (direct, or the trust or fund named).
