Machi Big Brother Opens $86 Million Bitcoin and Ethereum Long After Losing $73 Million Over Six Months

Notorious crypto trader “Machi Big Brother” opened a combined $86 million leveraged long across bitcoin and ethereum, allocating $44.2M to BTC and $41.8M to ETH, according to Arkham Intelligence. The positions use heavy leverage (40x on ~570 BTC; 25x on ~18,050 ETH) with a combined cross margin of only $2.78M, creating tight liquidation points (BTC ~$74,111; ETH ~$2,206.50). The trade is large enough to register as a visible on‑chain signal and could amplify near-term volatility around key technical levels — notably the $80,000 BTC resistance cited by analysts. The size and leverage make the position vulnerable to swift forced selling if prices move against it, potentially impacting short-term market flows and sentiment despite the trader’s recent $73.44M losses over six months.
