Trump-Backed WLFI Eyes Public Trading
With a goal of earning about $1.5 billion, World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency project supported by the Trump family, is looking into forming a publicly traded corporation to house its WLFI tokens. The deal’s structure is still being worked out. However, a Bloomberg article claims that significant technology and cryptocurrency investors have been contacted and that talks are moving swiftly forward.
With this plan, World Liberty will join the ranks of publicly traded companies known as digital asset holding companies, which hold cryptocurrency reserves. According to the report, these businesses have raised an estimated $79 billion in 2025 for Bitcoin sales alone.
$72B Inspiration: How Does World Liberty Plan to Follow Strategy’s Bitcoin Model?
The World Liberty treasury vehicle would be a shell company that is already listed on the Nasdaq, which the venture has bought, according to the story, which cited investment documents. The strategy is similar to tactics developed by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which has since changed its name to Strategy and became a Bitcoin holding company in 2020. Since then, Strategy has accumulated more than $72 billion in Bitcoin and grown to a market valuation of around $113 billion. A wave of imitators has been sparked by the success of Strategy’s stock as a proxy for Bitcoin, including new treasury companies for Ether, Litecoin, Sui, and other altcoins, as well as a Japanese chain of low-cost hotels.
