According to @ai_9684xtpa, a BTC whale has executed four shorts since March 2025 and is still carrying a 20x BTC short that moved from a $5.74M unrealized profit to a $12.81M unrealized loss over roughly two months (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the position has earned $4.33M in funding fees, and combined with prior timely take-profits, the whale retains more than $14.96M of profit cushion (source: @ai_9684xtpa).
