Andrew Tate Loses $86,000 After Eight Hyperliquid Bitcoin Liquidations

Overview

• On June 17–18, 2026 Andrew Tate was liquidated eight times on Hyperliquid over a roughly 16-hour span, a sequence tracked in real time by on-chain analyst Lookonchain.
• He funded the account with about $100,000 in USDC and opened a roughly $3.8 million Bitcoin long at about 40x leverage that hit an estimated liquidation level when BTC fell through about $65,216.
• After the long closed when bitcoin touched roughly $64,127 Tate flipped into a roughly $1 million short that was also liquidated and his balance fell to about $14,219, producing nearly $86,000 in losses.
• The losses occurred during a larger market selloff that forced roughly 100,000 traders into liquidations totaling over $400 million as investors pulled money from spot-BTC ETFs and reacted to recent U.S. interest-rate signals.
• The episode continues a pattern of high-risk trading for Tate, who deposited about $727,000 into Hyperliquid over the past year and previously saw repeated liquidations that depleted the account by late 2025, and it underscores how visible social posting plus on-chain tracking exposes retail traders to public scrutiny.
