Trump-supported WLFI will welcome trading! ALT5 raised $1.5 billion for the acquisition of tokens.

The American public company ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTS) announced that it will raise up to $1.5 billion through a private sale for the acquisition of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens and to establish the "World Liberty Financial Vault". The plan has received depth involvement from the Trump family and could become an important catalyst before WLFI opens for trading.

ALT5 Sigma Launches $1.5 Billion Fundraising Plan

According to a statement released by ALT5 Sigma, the company will privately sell 200 million shares of common stock to investors at a price of $7.50 per share, with total fundraising expected to reach $1.5 billion.

This fundraising will be used for multiple directions, including:

1. Acquisition of WLFI Token

2. Repayment of corporate debt

3. Resolve existing lawsuits

4. Provide operating capital for existing businesses

After the transaction is completed, ALT5 will hold approximately 7.5% of the total supply of WLFI tokens and will initiate a cryptocurrency vault strategy to support future asset management and liquidity.

WLFI Background and Trump Family Involvement

WLFI is the native Token of the World Liberty Financial DeFi platform founded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. in 2024. The Token has been in a locked state since the platform completed a private sale of $590 million in 2024.

Recently, World Liberty Financial announced plans to open trading rights for WLFI early adopters in the near future, a move that could trigger significant investor interest and drive up Token prices.

Board Personnel Changes and Strategic Layout

With the advancement of this transaction, the ALT5 board of directors will undergo significant personnel changes:

1. Eric Trump will serve as a director of ALT5.

2. Zach Witkoff (co-founder and CEO of WLFI, son of presidential advisor Steve Witkoff) will serve as the chairman of the board.

This combination not only strengthens the strategic connection between ALT5 and WLFI, but also highlights the Trump family's deep involvement in the project.

WLFI Unlocking or Becoming a Market Catalyst

Since the pre-sale, WLFI has been in a non-tradable state, and this large-scale acquisition and capital injection from ALT5 may significantly enhance the liquidity and market value of the token.

Analysts point out that the tradability of WLFI will provide early investors with exit and arbitrage opportunities while attracting new funds into the market, which is a significant benefit for large holders such as ALT5 and the Trump family.

Trump family's crypto布局 continues to expand

In addition to WLFI, the Trump family has been active in the cryptocurrency space recently. News on August 11 indicates that Truth Social's Bitcoin spot ETF has submitted an S-1 registration statement amendment to the SEC and plans to launch later this year.

This series of measures indicates that the Trump family is actively combining political influence with financial innovation, attempting to gain an advantage in the wave of integration between crypto assets and traditional finance.

Conclusion

ALT5 Sigma raised 1.5 billion USD for the acquisition of WLFI Token, which not only provides strong financial support for the upcoming trading of the token but also further consolidates the Trump family's position in the crypto finance sector. With the unlocking of WLFI imminent, the market is highly focused on its price trends and subsequent capital movements.
