A Whale Just Went 40x Long on Bitcoin with $674M — Either a Genius Move or Pure Chaos Incoming

By Johnbull Myson | The Node Next Door | 21 May 2025


Hold up. A whale just hit the “YOLO” button and cranked their Bitcoin long position to 40x leverage — totaling a jaw-dropping $674 million.

Yes, you read that right. That’s not a typo. That’s someone betting the GDP of a small island nation on number go up.

Now the big question:

Do they know something we don’t… or are we about to witness the most expensive gamble in crypto history?

This isn’t your average Degen move. This is chess-on-steroids.

Let’s break it down:

If BTC pumps just 5-10%… this whale is basically printing money.

But if it dumps even a little? Let’s just say they’ll be meeting liquidation faster than your meme coins in 2022.

What does it mean for the rest of us?

Smart money usually moves quiet. This? This was loud. Real loud. Like, shake-the-order-books loud. It could signal incoming volatility — and maybe even a major price move.

Some say it’s insider info. Others say it’s lunacy. Either way, this isn’t the time to nap on the charts.

Grab your popcorn. Watch the charts. Something stupidly big might be brewing — and if it explodes, you'll want front-row seats.
