- Andrew Tate opened a 57.36 BTC long position on Wednesday at ~$66,000 with roughly 40x leverage backed by ~$100,000 in USDC, realizing ~$68,600 in losses as Bitcoin fell toward the mid-$64,000 area.
- Tate's wallet then flipped to a 14.33 BTC short worth ~$1 million at $64,817, which suffered five short liquidation fills as Bitcoin rebounded, draining the balance from ~$100,000 to ~$14,000.
- Tate's all-time perpetual futures losses on Hyperliquid now total $803,800, per HyperDash, extending a drawdown that began in early 2025.
- November 2025 saw a 40x BTC long liquidated for $235,000 on Nov. 14, with additional longs near $90,000–$95,000 wiped out by Nov. 18.
- WLFI positions cost Tate ~$67,500 ahead of a September 2025 token unlock; he re-entered the same trade almost immediately and lost again.
- Tate is the founder of The Real World, a company that sells online trading education courses.
Why it matters: The streak underlines the gap between Tate's public persona as a trading educator and his actual record — roughly $803,800 in cumulative Hyperliquid perp losses, with $86,000 of that wiped out in a single day despite Bitcoin moving only a few percentage points. For buyers of his trading courses, a pattern of 40x leverage, immediate reversals, and repeat liquidations is hard to square with the expertise he's selling.
