World Liberty Financial Eyes $1.5B Raise for Public Crypto Holding Company
World Liberty Financial — a decentralized finance firm with ties to the Trump family — is reportedly seeking to raise $1.5 billion to launch a publicly traded entity that would hold its WLFI tokens, according to Bloomberg.
The company is said to be in discussions with major investors across the tech and crypto sectors, though the structure of the proposed deal remains under negotiation, sources told Bloomberg.
The initiative would position World Liberty among a growing cohort of crypto treasury firms, which are using equity and debt offerings to build token-rich balance sheets. WLFI already holds a diversified crypto portfolio and aims to further institutionalize its on-chain presence.
The firm currently issues USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin that facilitated MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance. World Liberty has also announced plans for a crypto-lending platform. WLFI tokens, initially distributed as non-transferable governance assets, are expected to become tradable in the near term.
The fundraising push comes as Donald Trump steps up his support for digital assets. This week, he signed an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement accounts to allocate capital to alternative investments, including cryptocurrencies and private equity.
