The whale successfully conducted four consecutive profitable short trades targeting Bitcoin, generating $2.05 million in realized gains. This series concluded with a particularly aggressive leveraged bet.

Most notably, employing a 40x leverage position, the trader secured an additional $5.23 million in profits, significantly boosting their total haul.

Beyond gains from price movements, the whale also accumulated approximately $1.25 million in funding fees over the period, underlining the potential profitability of leveraged trading strategies within the cryptocurrency market.
