February 11th — Per HyperInsight monitoring, the "Strategy Whale" (0x94d…) executed a coordinated liquidation of its BTC and ETH long positions, totaling approximately $13.13 million in liquidation value. This includes: a previously valued BTC long position ($29.94 million) and an ETH long position ($24.13 million) — both positions closed at a loss, with a total loss of roughly $1.86 million. The address is known for aggressively opening large short positions on mainstream coins around MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) December listing. It once became Hyperliquid’s largest BTC short holder, with a position size of $120 million, before being liquidated at $3,113 — a move that significantly drained its funds.

**February 11** — Data from GMGN (link) shows the Solana meme coin WhiteWhale has been on a steady decline recently. The token’s market cap has dropped ~57% from its February 8 high of ~$140 million to a current $59 million. It trades at ~$0.062, with a 24-hour volume of $5.4 million. Even as the price falls, prominent trader The White Whale (active on X and Hyperliquid) continues to accumulate.

They hold an unrealized loss of ~$86,000 (a 29% drop from entry points) and have not sold any tokens to date. GMGN data indicates the primary holding address (EBxgM) acquired most tokens via child addresses. Over the past 24 hours, total inflow value hit ~$219,000, with a net inflow of more than $2.1 million in the past seven days. The meme coin was initially created by fans using The White Whale’s avatar. It was later taken over by the trader, who has since aggressively built positions
