Bitcoin Whale Gobbles Up $356M+ in Hours - Strategic Accumulation Accelerates

Massive Bitcoin accumulation signals institutional confidence as whales make power moves

The Feeding Frenzy Intensifies

A single Bitcoin whale just vacuumed up over $356 million worth of BTC in mere hours—this isn't casual shopping, it's strategic positioning. While traditional finance analysts debate quarterly earnings, crypto's big players are making actual money moves that matter.

Whale Watching Season

This massive accumulation spree demonstrates sophisticated capital deployment at scale. Unlike Wall Street's endless committee meetings and PowerPoint presentations, crypto whales just execute—no board approvals needed, no quarterly reports to massage.

The Bigger Picture

When whales move this aggressively, retail investors should pay attention. These aren't emotional trades—they're calculated positions being built by players with inside knowledge and deep pockets. Meanwhile, traditional finance continues to debate whether crypto is 'real' while missing the actual money flowing.

Smart money keeps getting smarter while the old guard remains busy adjusting their spreadsheet models and wondering why they're late to every party that matters.

Wall Street expects Alphabet to report earnings per share (EPS) of $2.27 for Q3 2025, up 7.1% year over year. Meanwhile, analysts expect Q3 revenue to grow 13% to $99.95 billion.

Top JPMorgan Analyst Raises GOOGL Stock Price Target

JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth increased his price target for Alphabet stock to $300 from $260 and reiterated a Buy rating. Anmuth noted that Google is the second-best performing Magnificent 7 stock on a year-to-date basis. The 5-star analyst believes that the favorable outcome in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Search Commercial Agreement trial removed a major overhang for GOOGL stock. Moreover, Alphabet is delivering solid financial performance and “innovating at the leading edge of AI.”

Anmuth added that Google is navigating the transition to AI search well. Anmuth believes Alphabet can continue to deliver double-digit growth in Search. He also expects YouTube ad growth to accelerate on share gains, while capitalizing more on AI. Anmuth is optimistic that Google Cloud growth is accelerating on its AI positioning and TPU infrastructure, including recent deals with Anthropic, Meta Platforms (META), and OpenAI (PC:OPAIQ).

The top-rated analyst expects the Google ecosystem to gain from the upcoming launch of Gemini 3. While competition with OpenAI is expected to intensify, Anmuth believes that Google has key advantages in data, distribution, and balance sheet strength. Meanwhile, the analyst made three adjustments to his Google model, including addition of about $4.25 billion in regulatory fines and accruals in Q3, which will reduce operating income and GAAP EPS; increasing Google Cloud estimates beginning 2026 to reflect Anthropic expansion (which he believes could add $9 billion to $10 billion in annual revenue when fully up and running); and increasing capex estimates for 2026 to $114 billion and for 2027 to $125 billion.

KeyBanc Sees Continued Upside in Alphabet Stock

Meanwhile, KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson increased the price target for Alphabet stock to $300 from $265 and reaffirmed a Buy rating. The 5-star analyst explained that he raised his price target as he expects Q3 results to show that “faster product velocity is driving momentum in Search, Cloud, and Waymo.”

Patterson believes that GOOGL’s valuation does not appear demanding, with shares trading at about 1.5x next 12-month P/E (price-to-earnings) premium to the S&P 500 (24.5x versus 23.0x). The analyst believes that a combination of 12% to 13% annual revenue growth, operating leverage, and share repurchases could drive a 17% annual EPS growth over the 2024 to 2027 period.

Is GOOGL Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell?

Heading into Q3 results, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Alphabet stock based on 28 Buys and eight Holds. The average GOOGL stock price target of $265.91 indicates 2.3% upside potential.
