World Liberty Financial seeks public firm for $1.5B treasury
World Liberty Financial is considering acquiring a publicly traded company as part of its plan to create a WLFI token treasury.
According to Cointelegraph, citing a Friday Bloomberg report, the Trump-linked firm is in talks with investors to establish a $1.5 billion WLFI treasury based on a Nasdaq-listed company.
The deal structure is still being finalized, but negotiations with major technology and cryptocurrency investors are moving quickly. All signs suggest that World Liberty will join a growing number of companies investing in Bitcoin and leading altcoins to protect their assets from devaluation.
World Liberty, whose website lists Donald Trump as an “honorary co-founder,” was launched last year with plans to develop a crypto-lending app and currently offers a USD-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.
The company has raised about $550 million through two public token sales, positioning itself as a DeFi and stablecoin platform aiming to challenge traditional finance. Notable backers include Tron founder Justin Sun, who invested $30 million for 2 billion tokens, and Web3Port, which contributed $10 million in January.
In June, Trump disclosed earnings of $57.4 million from his stake in World Liberty Financial. In his 2025 public financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics, Trump reported owning 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens, categorizing the income as token sales.
WLFI aims for the big leagues
Creating crypto treasuries through public companies is becoming increasingly popular. In 2025 alone, such companies have attracted around $79 billion through Bitcoin purchases. Ethereum ranks as the second-largest “treasury” cryptocurrency, with some companies also accumulating XRP, TON, and other digital assets.
Having publicly listed holders of digital assets is becoming a hallmark of being in the top tier — and it’s no surprise WLFI wants to be there too.
