Machi Big Brother’s Wild May: Still Swinging, Still Bleeding

Machi Big Brother (Jeffrey Huang) is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The infamous degen whale continues his signature high-leverage gambling on Hyperliquid, and the past few weeks have been another brutal chapter.

Machi’s Recent Trading Weeks Breakdown (May 2026)

• Mid-May Liquidation: LookOnChain reported another full wipeout of his ETH long position. His Hyperliquid account balance crashed to just $85,000, pushing his cumulative realized losses to $31.99 million.
• Current Position: As of late May, he’s holding roughly 1,275 ETH (worth ~$2.77M) with 25x leverage and a liquidation price around $2,153.
• Account Status: Unrealized PnL is slightly green at the moment (+$85K), but his margin usage is over 105%, meaning he’s extremely exposed to even small moves against him.

LookOnChain and Hyperbot data show Machi’s classic pattern: aggressive averaging down on leveraged ETH longs, followed by spectacular liquidations when the market turns. He’s been reloading with fresh deposits multiple times this month, refusing to tap out despite the heavy bleeding.

The liquidation is once again just $11 away, as Ethereum (ETH) struggles to keep above $2K. Geopolitical shenanigans are taking the financial markets by storm as Iran & the United States renewed their military operations on Monday, with retaliationary actions still pending on both sides.

The Bigger Picture Reveals a Relentless Approach

Machi’s all-time losses on Hyperliquid now sit deep in the $30M–$75M+ range depending on the tracking period. The popular Taiwanese musician & crypto whale has earned his crown as the “King of Liquidations” with hundreds of wiped positions over the past year.

Yet he keeps coming back — depositing fresh capital, opening massive 25x–30x longs, and living on the edge. In the last 30 days alone, Machi’s seen multiple partial and full liquidations, with his account balance swinging wildly between six figures and near-zero.

Machi Big Brother is still very much in the game, but the game is beating him badly. His recent weeks have been defined by relentless aggression, quick liquidations, and stubborn reloading. 

Whether this is legendary conviction or pure ‘degen’ self-destruction is up for debate — but one thing’s certain: you can’t look away. The man simply refuses to lose quietly.
