  When a margin call is triggered, it means that the borrower has failed to meet the required margin maintenance level. In such cases, the lender has the right to liquidate the borrower's assets, including bitcoin holdings, to cover the outstanding debt. This is done to protect the lender from potential losses. Therefore, it is possible for bitcoin holdings to be liquidated as a result of a margin call.
