Andrew Tate Suffers 8 Liquidations in 16 Hours Amid BTC Crash
Key Insights:
- Andrew Tate was liquidated eight times within 16 hours as BTC crash triggered losses across both his long and short positions.
- His latest 57.36 BTC long position, worth about $3.76 million, was liquidated after Bitcoin fell below his $65,216 liquidation level.
- The broader market selloff, fueled by the Fed’s hawkish stance, liquidated nearly 100,000 crypto traders in a single day.
Social-media personality Andrew Tate, who has become known for highly leveraged crypto trading, suffered a dramatic wipeout on June 17–18, 2026.
On-chain analysts at Lookonchain reported that Tate was liquidated eight times in 16 hours, all on Bitcoin positions. He first lost a long BTC position, then flipped to a short and lost again, repeatedly, until his account was nearly emptied.
By the end of the run, Tate’s Hyperliquid account held only about $14,219.This avalanche of losses came amid a broad market sell-off.
Bitcoin’s price fell from roughly $66,400 to about $64,000 over the same window, in the aftermath of the Fed’s June policy meeting.
Crypto analysis firm CoinGlass notes that over $400 million in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in that timeframe, with roughly $280 million from longs.
Nearly 100,000 individual accounts were wiped out across exchanges, the largest single loss a $5 million long on Binance.
Andrew Tate, who had previously been reported to deposit ~$727K into Hyperliquid and lose his entire balance by late 2025, was simply the highest-profile trader caught in the wave.
Tech and IPO Rotation
Investors were also questioning lofty tech valuations. After a relentless rally into mid-year, AI and tech giants saw profit-taking.
Morgan Stanley notes that high-growth “AI stocks” suffered a sharp repricing as momentum faded. Some market commentators linked crypto outflows to investors earmarking cash for looming IPOs (like SpaceX or Anthropic).
Nearly $5.8 billion poured out of spot Bitcoin ETFs from mid-May through early June, driving BTC price toward its lows of 2026 below $60K. Amid this, trader Andrew Tate is gaining traction, given his trading history.
However, analysts at Sygnum point out that on-chain data don’t support a wholesale “IPO rotation” thesis. Rather, much of the ETF outflow appears tied to the unwinding of arbitrage (cash-and-carry) trades when futures premiums shrank.
As institutions trimmed risk positions to prepare for this and other deals, liquidity tightened, further amplifying asset price moves.
In short, the markets saw simultaneous “sell everything” pressure from equities, crypto, and commodities, on fears of higher rates and stretched valuations.
Leverage Strategy Backfires for Andrew Tate
Andrew Tate’s trading history shows a pattern of aggressive leverage on Hyperliquid. Over the past year, Tate put roughly $727,000 into Hyperliquid futures and never took any money out. By late 2025, repeated liquidations had apparently wiped the account out completely.
That story says a lot on its own. Hyper-leveraged crypto trading can look powerful right up until it isn’t. In Tate’s latest round of bets, Andrew Tate reportedly went in with very high leverage on Bitcoin (BTC), possibly as much as 40x.

As Bitcoin (BTC) price swung through his liquidation price (~$65K for the long), his positions were automatically closed out. Even after flipping to a short, the market volatility immediately stopped him out again.
Andrew Tate himself broadcasts his trades and losses on social media, but the data speak for themselves. As Lookonchain noted in its post: “Andrew Tate has been liquidated 8 times in the past 16 hours… His account now has only $14,219 left.”
There is no evidence that Andrew Tate had any special insight into the market moves; rather, his wipeout appears to be the result of straightforward market forces. The timing suggests he suffered alongside thousands of other traders who were caught by the same crash.
