World Liberty Financial wants to raise $1.5 billion by listing a company that holds WLFI tokens.
- WLFI token holder may become publicly traded on Nasdaq
- Donald Trump earned over $57 million from token sales
- Crypto strategy mirrors Bitcoin-heavy firm MicroStrategy
WLFI Tokens Could Be Listed on Public Markets
World Liberty Financial, backed by Donald Trump, is working on a plan to create a public company that would hold its crypto token, WLFI. The goal is to raise $1.5 billion. Talks with investors are moving fast, with interest from tech and crypto firms.
The Model Follows Other Treasury-Focused Crypto Firms
The company has reportedly bought a shell company already listed on Nasdaq to speed things up. This approach is similar to MicroStrategy, now called Strategy, which became a well-known Bitcoin treasury firm. Strategy currently holds more than $72 billion in Bitcoin. Other companies have adopted this model to hold digital assets like Ether and Litecoin.
Donald Trump’s Role in WLFI
Trump is listed as the “co-founder emeritus” of World Liberty. In June, he reported earning $57.4 million from selling WLFI tokens. He owns about 15.75 billion WLFI tokens, according to government filings.
Crypto Investment Is Growing
So far in 2025, crypto treasury firms have raised around $79 billion to buy Bitcoin. World Liberty has already raised $550 million through token sales. Some important backers include Justin Sun, who spent $30 million on WLFI tokens, and Web3Port, which added $10 million.
