Andrew Tate Opens 40x Bitcoin Long Near Liquidation

Andrew Tate opened a 40x leveraged long for 57.36 BTC on the Hyperliquid decentralized perpetuals exchange. The position has a notional value of about $3.756 million and showed an unrealized loss near $31,278. Its liquidation price is $65,216.

Bitcoin traded near $65,466 at the time of the trade, about 1.3% lower over the previous 24 hours. With the market price only a few hundred dollars above the liquidation threshold, a further decline below $65,216 would trigger an automatic forced close.

Tate has been liquidated on the platform 107 times. By November, his cumulative trading losses on the exchange were roughly $800,000.

The position uses 40x leverage, meaning the notional exposure is forty times the margin posted. High leverage increases the risk of rapid liquidation when prices move against a trader.

Markets are focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision, the first under Chair Kevin Warsh. Traders expect a pause, keeping the benchmark rate in the 3.50%–3.75% range. A trading firm wrote in market commentary: “A dovish read on softer core and lower oil extends the relief; a hawkish read on 4.2% headline ends it.”

Market participants say the Fed’s policy statement and any guidance on inflation and future rate moves are likely to influence risk assets, including Bitcoin. At current levels the long’s narrow buffer above its liquidation price leaves limited room for short-term volatility before an involuntary exit.
