The World Liberty Financial website statement confirms that the company sold 24.07 billion WLFI governance tokens. Former U.S. President Donald Trump and his sons support this cryptocurrency platform, which offers 926.998 million tokens for purchase.
WLFI Token sales and market impact
According to onchain data, more than 80,000 people have performed over 119,000 transactions using WLFI tokens. The company implements Aave technology in a separated lending environment to fulfill KYC regulations beyond the standards of its decentralized starting point.
The availability of tokens from World Liberty Financial has reached just under 4% after the company experienced slow initial sales in its launch four months earlier. The company website displays data which shows lower than one billion tokens available for purchase.
The fixed token value stands at $0.05, which leads to total sales revenue exceeding $1.25 billion. The token sale launched in late October targeted increasing revenue by $300 million by reaching a $1.5 billion market value.Initially, the company planned to sell 20% of its 100 billion WLFI tokens after launching its DeFi platform in September last year. Due to increased demand, the firm extended the sale by an additional 5% to maximize fundraising efforts.
The company explained that cryptocurrency exchange transactions serve standard financial treasury management needs by covering expenditures and maintaining operational capital positions. The company stated that the asset transfers do not include token sales since they function exclusively to preserve financial stability.
WLFI’s governance role and token reserve strategy
Within the platform WLFI tokens provide governance instruments to users in addition to their fundraising purpose. The platform’s token holders can exert voting power on community proposals because they possess voting rights. WLFI tokens exist without transfer capabilities because their sole purpose is governance functions only.The company disclosed that the Trump family holds a majority stake in the project, entitling them to 75% of its revenue and a share of the tokens. Recent sales have surged following WLF’s announcement of a strategic token reserve to mitigate market fluctuations.
Macro Strategy Initiative and Institutional Partnerships
World Liberty Financial recently introduced its strategic token reserve, “Macro Strategy.” The initiative is designed to strengthen investments in major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets. By diversifying tokenized assets, the goal is to create a stable financial ecosystem.
The company stated that Macro Strategy will support DeFi ecosystem growth and capitalize on emerging opportunities in the sector. WLF has partnered with traditional financial institutions to integrate tokenized assets into mainstream financial markets. The firm emphasized that these partnerships will provide institutions greater transparency and direct engagement with the crypto sector.
WLF holds significant positions in various digital assets, including $48.39 million in Ethereum, $9 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and $9.8 million in Tron (TRX). Additionally, the company acquired 342,000 ONDO tokens for $470,000 USDC and expanded its Ethereum holdings through a $5 million swap.
Despite these efforts, challenges remain. Srikumar Misra, founder of AI crypto protocol Aarna, revealed that some of WLF’s recent purchases resulted in losses exceeding $21.78 million. A significant portion of this loss came from acquiring 56,317 ETH at an average price of $3,373 per ETH, which led to a $14 million deficit.
