Method and coverage
- The universe is the official leaderboard: 47,391 / 47,391 addresses have valid reads, including 3,117 with native BTC perpetual positions. Accounts are not excluded by profit, size or hedging behavior.
- Original BTC position reads span 07:50:21–13:08:33 UTC. The snapshot retains successful records up to six hours old; these are not simultaneous 13:09 positions.
- Each row is one address’s current net BTC position. Addresses are not independently identified people. Notional sums each record’s positionValue; it is not collateral, total account wealth or market-wide open interest.
- Only native BTC perpetuals are included, excluding Spot and other markets such as xyz. Expired records are omitted. This edition has zero expired, failed or pending addresses.
Data comes from the official Hyperliquid leaderboard and perpetuals API, aggregated by HoldWins. See the whale-position guide for instructions.
