World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), linked to the Trump family, has invested $178.2 million in six major cryptocurrencies over three days, demonstrating its commitment to a long-term crypto strategy.
Among the tokens purchased are Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), TRON (TRX), Aave (AAVE), Chainlink (LINK), and Ethena (ENA).
OnChain data reveal that on January 22, WLFI capitalized on a market dip by acquiring 94.94 wBTC for $9.84 million, following a $2.65 million investment in 10.81 million TRX the day prior. The fund has amassed 534.1 wBTC worth $56.82 million over the past three days, with an average purchase price of $106,379 per token.
WLFI’s aggressive buying spree comes after its initial $120 million crypto allocation announced by Donald Trump Jr. on January 20, shortly after his father’s inauguration. That investment included $47 million each for Ethereum and wBTC, while $4.7 million was split among TRX, AAVE, LINK, and ENA. The fund’s recent activity has increased its total cryptocurrency holdings to an estimated $365.5 million, cementing its status as a prominent institutional player in the digital asset market.
In November 2024, TRON founder Justin Sun announced a $30 million investment in WLFI. He commended the Trump administration for supporting blockchain innovation, claiming that the U.S. is becoming a blockchain hub and attributing Bitcoin’s success to Donald Trump. Sun expressed TRON’s commitment to fostering innovation in America.
Meanwhile, In response to speculation surrounding its crypto transactions, WLFI addressed rumours about its crypto transactions in a January 15 statement, clarifying that these were routine treasury management activities rather than token sales. The fund stated that asset reallocations were necessary for operational costs and platform functionality. Currently, 5.36 billion of its 20 billion tokens have been sold, leaving 14.645 billion available for purchase. Investors can buy WLFI tokens using Ethereum (ETH), USDC, Tether (USDT), or Wrapped Ether (WETH), with allocations based on the investment size.
