Fact Check

The core claim is directly supported by on-chain tracker Lookonchain's June 18, 2026 X post, which states Tate was liquidated 8 times in 16 hours on a BTC long flipped to a short, leaving only $14,219 in his account — exactly matching the figures in the claim. Multiple independent outlets (Cryptopolitan citing Arkham Intelligence for the ~$95,478 loss, crypto.news, and BlockBeats) corroborate the 40x leverage, the 57.36 BTC long, the eight liquidations, and the $14,219 remaining balance. The specific dollar-loss figure of $95,478 comes from Cryptopolitan/Arkham rather than Lookonchain, which is the one element with slightly weaker primary sourcing, but all on-chain-verifiable specifics align across sources.

Summary

Andrew Tate lost about $95,478 after closing a 40x leveraged Bitcoin long on Hyperliquid and then flipped to a new 40x Bitcoin short, according to Arkham Intelligence. Arkham said he was liquidated eight times within 24 hours, while Lookonchain reported eight liquidations in 16 hours and said his account fell to $14,219. On-chain data showed the earlier long covered 57.36 Bitcoin with a notional value of about $3.79 million before being closed at a loss. Lookonchain has also estimated Tate’s cumulative liquidations on Hyperliquid at 107, highlighting the risks of extreme leverage in volatile crypto markets.
