Your stop is reached before the liquidation price. The sized loss is the loss you take.
Why the stop has to come before the liquidation
If the liquidation price sits between your entry and your stop, the stop never executes: the position is closed by the exchange first, at a worse price, with a liquidation fee, and the loss is larger than the one you sized for. Raising leverage moves the liquidation price toward your entry, which is the mechanism behind most accounts that die on a move they had correctly anticipated.
Maintenance margin is half the initial margin at the market's maximum leverage, so the safe leverage ceiling depends on the market — BTC allows 40×.
