Fact Check
The claim is fully corroborated by the originating source. The @ai_9684xtpa X post (2026-06-25) states the whale added $8M ($800万) margin to a 120,000 ETH long, with unrealized loss exceeding $77.047M ($7704.7万), four BIT-linked addresses, and over 6M USDC available margin — matching the claim exactly. Three independent crypto news outlets (Odaily, PANews, BlockBeats) reproduce identical figures and attribute them to the same analyst. The one limitation is that the underlying on-chain data originates from a single analyst rather than independent verification, so the assessment is likely_true with high confidence on what was reported.
