Bitcoin supporter and Stanford PhD in Mathematics Fred Krueger posted on X: “BlackRock vs. Vanguard—everyone says BlackRock is the biggest, and that’s true. However, in the areas that matter most to most Americans, Vanguard is actually bigger:
- #1 in U.S. retirement savings (IRA + 401(k))
- #1 in index mutual funds (Boglehead core funds)
- #1 in direct-to-consumer investing (ordinary investors investing directly)
- #1 in passive long-term investing (the default choice for middle-class savers)
Vanguard allowing and accepting Bitcoin investments is highly significant.”
In response, Glassnode co-founder Negentropic commented: “Vanguard supporting Bitcoin and Ethereum earlier than BlackRock is even more significant, because Vanguard controls the largest pool of passive retirement funds.
This is not speculative capital: it’s automatic 401(k) contributions, target-date fund inflows, and rebalancing over decades. Once Bitcoin enters these default allocations, the buying pressure becomes structural, price-insensitive, and persistent.”

Bitcoin price approaches a key support level. Can BTC rebound 23.6% to challenge the 50-day moving average?
February 13 News, Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate near a critical support zone. The short-term downtrend has not yet reversed, but technical indicators show the market is under high tension, and a rebound window is brewing. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading around $66,381, down approximately 1.7% in the past 24 hours, with intraday volatility significantly increasing, reaching a high of $68,300 before quickly falling back to the $65,200 range. It is currently hovering around $66,000.
From a multi-timeframe perspective, short-term momentum remains weak, with declines in the 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day charts. The 14-day and 30-day periods have each fallen more than 20% and 30%, respectively, indicating that medium-term selling pressure still dominates. The daily chart structure remains in a bearish trend, with prices well below major moving averages. The 50-day moving average is at $82,024, and the 100-day moving average is above $88,526. To retest the 50-day moving average, Bitcoin needs to rise approximately 23.6% from the current price, which is also considered the most important dynamic resistance zone at present.

Bitcoin plummeted 30% this month, as a whale transferred 7,800 BTC to the exchange platform, sparking concerns of a new round of selling pressure.
February 13 News, Bitcoin prices continue to weaken, falling another 1.39% in the past 24 hours, with a total decline of over 30% this month. Against the backdrop of a weak macro environment, on-chain data shows that the concentrated transfer behavior of some whales is amplifying the short-term market volatility risk.
The on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain disclosed that a whale address marked as 3NVeXm has been transferring Bitcoin to trading platforms for the past three weeks. Initially, the scale was small, but it has recently accelerated significantly. On February 11, this address transferred 5,000 BTC in one go, followed by an additional 2,800 BTC. Arkham data indicates that these large inflows closely coincide with the decline in Bitcoin prices. Lookonchain pointed out that every time this address makes a transfer, the price quickly drops.

Anthropic valuation soars to $380 billion: Will the AI capital frenzy intensify Bitcoin market volatility?
On February 13, news broke that Anthropic, OpenAI's strongest competitor, announced the completion of a $30 billion Series G funding round, with a post-money valuation of approximately $380 billion, reigniting global capital enthusiasm for the artificial intelligence sector. This round was led by GIC and Coatue, with participation from Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, BlackRock, Temasek, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and other institutions. Meanwhile, the company's annual revenue has risen to about $14 billion, maintaining a tenfold growth over three years, and is expected to approach $18 billion this year.
This phenomenon not only reshapes the landscape of tech investment but also subtly influences the capital structure of digital assets. As AI tools can replace various SaaS services, enterprise software valuations come under pressure. Bloomberg reported that in early February, software stocks lost approximately $285 billion in market value over a single week. Market analyst Jim Bianco pointed out that the trends of Bitcoin and software stocks are highly synchronized, driven by the same underlying force: the flow of private credit funds.
