NBA great and businessman Magic Johnson believes wealth grows when entrepreneurs invest in their communities, rather than focusing solely on personal gain. In an <a href="https://www.latimes.com/style/la-mag-nov302008-magicjohnson-story.html">interview with the Los Angeles Times</a> in November 2008, he emphasized how creating jobs and opportunities in underserved areas fuels long-term success.

Magic Johnson Says Building Wealth Is Easier When You Focus On Others—'Not Just Filling Your Own Pockets'

Blackbaud's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLKB#NYSE">BLKB</a>) short percent of float has risen 25.96% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 717 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.62% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.03 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Blackbaud Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742394621_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Blackbaud has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Blackbaud's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Blackbaud's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 13.42%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Blackbaud has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Blackbaud's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Blackbaud's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Blackbaud?

Cloud computing provider for nonprofits, foundations, and corporations, Blackbaud Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLKB#NASDAQ">BLKB</a>) facilitates cryptocurrency <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43652744/blackbaud-enables-cryptocurrency-donations-for-u-s-nonprofits-through-its-justgiving-platform" rel="noreferrer noopener">donations for U.S. nonprofits</a>.
The company said that its JustGiving platform will now support cryptocurrency donations, enabling U.S. nonprofits to receive digital currencies.
Previously available to U.K. charities, this feature will allow many U.S.-based organizations to accept cryptocurrency along with conventional donation methods.
The platform now accommodates more than 60 cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC&nbsp;/&nbsp;USD), Ethereum (ETC / USD), and widely known meme coins like Doge and Shiba.
&#8220;In recent years, there has been a surge in the use of&nbsp;cryptocurrencies, and we&#8217;re continuing to innovate for our nonprofit customers to make sure they have access to the latest in payments technology and accelerated giving,&#8221; said&nbsp;chief of product innovation Jerry Needel.

To support this update, Blackbaud has teamed up with The Giving Block, a service for cryptocurrency donations. The Giving Block&#8217;s platform enables donors to contribute using various digital currencies.
&#8220;580 million people now use&nbsp;cryptocurrency&nbsp;around the world, and the market is worth over&nbsp;$3 trillion,&#8221; said&nbsp;Alex Wilson, co-founder of The Giving Block.
The partnership ensures that cryptocurrency donations are instantly converted to U.S. dollars before being distributed, shielding nonprofits from market fluctuations.
In 2024, nonprofit organizations received more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency donations, largely due to the tax advantages, like capital gains tax relief, that digital currencies offer.
JustGiving has raised more than $9 billion for various charities since its launch in 2000. The introduction of cryptocurrency donations follows the platform&#8217;s earlier integration of AI to assist fundraisers in crafting persuasive campaign stories.
Price Action: BLKB shares are trading higher by 0.04% at $79.64 at the last check Wednesday.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.

<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
