A mysterious crypto whale has quietly amassed a huge leveraged position in Bitcoin, deploying nearly $30 million across several transactions in just three days.
On-chain data from Lookonchain shows the investor began by moving $10 million in USDC to the Hyperliquid platform, where they opened a 20x long position. Additional deposits followed, bringing the total to over $22 million in collateral.
This aggressive bet now gives the trader exposure to nearly 3,900 BTC—worth around $425 million—with an average entry near $108,600. The position’s liquidation sits at $103,100, and unrealized profits already exceed $3.5 million.
This move comes amid renewed bullish sentiment for Bitcoin, which recently broke above $110,000. Analysts suggest the next leg up could take the price toward $150,000. TradingShot pointed out that BTC has broken out of bearish setups and is repeating historical patterns that previously led to triple-digit gains.
Michaël van de Poppe sees the current zone between $107,000 and $108,000 as a strong buying opportunity before another leg up. Meanwhile, PlanB projects BTC could close June near $130,000 if momentum holds, and Bernstein continues to forecast a long-term rise to $200,000.
Institutional demand adds fuel to the rally. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) added 1,000 BTC this week, and Bitcoin ETFs now hold over $120 billion in assets, highlighting its growing status as a mainstream financial instrument.
