Machi Big Brother

Farmed and bought YFI from its July 2020 launch to 2,925 YFI, about 10% of supply. Sold 2,001 on Uniswap for about $34M and moved the rest, worth about $30M, into pools. He was out by October with a profit of about $50M. At the May 2021 top near $90,000, the full bag would have been worth about $260M.

Peaked at $50.4M in September 2025, up $44.8M all-time, on a $176M long book in ETH, XPL and HYPE. A -$21.5M day on 10 October started the slide, and by November the account held $1,718. He kept depositing, hit his low of -$36.6M in August 2026, then turned $152,000 into $12.7M in three days. On 3 October 2026 he holds $8.1M against $146M of longs, -$28.6M all-time.

Backed Blast, Farcaster, Blur and Friend.tech as an angel and promoted each in public. He puts his cheques into Blast and Farcaster at about $20M each, alongside Abracadabra. In June 2026 he called many of these bets huge losses, and named Friend.tech, Blur and Blast as the ones where buying more on the way down cost him most.

Bought about 11 million FRIEND for 5,200 ETH, roughly $16.7M. Worth about $500,000 by August 2026, when he offered $1M for Friend.tech itself. He has never sold the bag.

Minted about 120 Bored Apes at 0.08 ETH and gave them to DeFi founders, Jay Chou and Vitalik Buterin. In late April 2022 his apes, mutants, dogs, Otherside deeds and ApeCoin were worth about $70M, and he is still the largest Bored Ape holder. The ApeCoin airdrop paid holders free, and in August 2022 he sent 1.5 million APE to Binance.

Bought hundreds of Apes to farm Blur points, at a cost he put above 12,000 ETH. Sold 1,010 NFTs for 11,680 ETH in two days in February 2023, then bought most of them back. In 2026 he sold Apes into margin calls, including one bought for 76.84 ETH and sold for 7.65.
