Trump-Linked World Liberty Financial Targets $1.5B Raise for Public Crypto Vehicle
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance company connected to the Trump family, is seeking to raise approximately $1.5 billion to establish a publicly traded firm that would hold its native WLFI tokens, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
While the deal structure remains under negotiation, the firm is said to be in talks with major investors across the technology and crypto sectors. If completed, the move would align World Liberty with a growing wave of crypto treasury firms leveraging capital markets to accumulate and manage large digital asset portfolios.
The company previously unveiled plans for a crypto lending platform and currently issues USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. USD1 was used in last year’s $2 billion investment in Binance by MGX, a separate investment group. The WLFI token, originally issued as a non-transferable governance asset, is reportedly on track to become tradable in secondary markets.
The fundraising effort comes as Donald Trump intensifies his pro-crypto stance. Just this week, the former president signed an executive order enabling 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets — including cryptocurrencies and private equity — signaling further institutional integration of digital assets.
