- ALT5 Sigma secures $1.5 billion for first corporate treasury backed by Trump-linked WLFI tokens.
- Financing to include share offerings, with World Liberty Financial leaders like Eric Trump joining ALT5 Sigma's board.
On August 11, 2025, ALT5 Sigma Corporation announced that it will raise $1.5 billion to establish the first corporate treasury based on World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, a cryptocurrency associated with the Trump family. This initiative includes a $750 million registered direct offering of 100 million shares and a concurrent private placement of another 100 million shares at $7.50 per share. The multi-tiered financing strategy uses a significant exchange of WLFI tokens and a cash component. ALT5 Sigma expects the deal to close on or around August 12, 2025.
In the private placement transaction, ALT5 Sigma will issue one million shares and 99 million pre-funded warrants, which leverage WLFI tokens from World Liberty Financial, Inc. Upon completion, ALT5 Sigma will hold approximately 7.5% of WLFI's total token supply. The company will use the raised capital for several strategic initiatives, including expanding its crypto treasury operations, acquiring more WLFI tokens, settling litigation, reducing debt, and other general corporate purposes.
After the transaction closes, ALT5 Sigma will undergo significant leadership changes as key figures from World Liberty Financial join the company. Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO of World Liberty Financial, will become Chairman of the Board. Eric Trump will join the Board of Directors. Zak Folkman will serve as a Board observer, and Matt Morgan will take on the role of Chief Investment Officer.
ALT5 Sigma's adoption of WLFI tokens for its corporate treasury reflects a growing trend of companies diversifying their cryptocurrency portfolios beyond Bitcoin. As corporate treasuries increasingly incorporate alternative assets like Ethereum, Solana, and novel offerings such as WLFI tokens, this decision demonstrates the expanding reach of digital currency in corporate finance and sets a precedent for future treasury strategies.
As of August 11, 15:09 UTC, World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) is trading at $1, with a -1.4% change in 24-hour trading volume, according to market data.
