Financial backing of World Liberty, a global organization endorsed by Donald Trump, aims to secure $1.5 billion for potential acquisitions under World Liberty Investments Federation (WLFI)
ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a publicly traded fintech infrastructure provider, has announced its plan to sell 100 million shares of its common stock to raise up to $1.5 billion. The funds raised will be used for various purposes, including the purchase of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, settling litigation, paying debts, and funding its existing operations.
The sale of these shares, priced at $7.50 each, is expected to close on August 12. The funds will establish ALT5’s corporate treasury with a significant WLFI holding, approximately 7.5% of the total WLFI supply. This transaction marks a significant step for WLFI, providing it with the first meaningful valuation ($0.20 per token) and funding aimed at making WLFI tradable on major exchanges.
World Liberty Financial's native token, WLFI, was founded by Eric and Donald Jr. in 2024. The token has been locked up since its $590 million pre-sale in the same year. The planned sale of ALT5 Sigma Corporation's shares could potentially increase investor interest in WLFI, boosting its value.
The transition from an untradable token to a potentially liquid, exchange-listed crypto asset backed by a new corporate treasury introduces governance complexity and regulatory attention that will influence investor perception and WLFI's trading ecosystem. Notably, ALT5's board will include Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, who will serve as ALT5's Director of the Board after the stock sale is closed.
World Liberty Financial has recently become tradable after community members voted for it. The change in WLFI's exchangeability could potentially increase investor interest in the token, benefiting ALT5 Sigma, large holders of the token, and the Trump family, which holds a multi-billion-dollar stake in the project.
As of writing, Alt5 Sigma shares are trading at $9.20, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours. The market sentiment reflects bullish retail interest tied to these WLFI-related plans.
