ALT5 Sigma is one of the latest companies to create a crypto asset treasury firm, similar to Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) and Tom Lee's BitMine Immersion (NYSE: BMNR). While the former is the leading Bitcoin treasury firm, the latter is the leading Ethereum treasury firm. Now, even WLFI is also becoming a preferred asset among crypto treasury firms.

The president's eldest child, Donald Trump Jr., said he was excited about the partnership. Eric Trump, the president's third child, also hailed the move.

Following the announcement and these tweets, the ALTS stock immediately declined by more than 25% in value. It was trading at $6.49 at the time of writing.
