Nasdaq-listed company ALT5 Sigma is preparing to integrate World Liberty Financial’s (WLFI) native token into its treasury portfolio, as part of a significant $1.5 billion capital raise led by the Trump-backed decentralized finance (DeFi) project.
This strategic partnership was detailed in a press release on Monday, which revealed that WLFI will contribute 7.5% of its total token supply to ALT5 Sigma through a private placement. The investment not only grants ALT5 Sigma ownership of a substantial portion of WLFI tokens but also signals the company’s ambition to make WLFI a core reserve asset.

Proceeds from this fundraising effort will be directed toward establishing a dedicated crypto treasury at ALT5 Sigma, marking it as the first public company to hold WLFI tokens as part of its financial reserves.
Zak Folkman, co-founder of ALT5 Sigma, noted growing interest from public companies looking to diversify their treasuries with WLFI tokens.
“There has been a lot of interest from several public vehicles who want to use WLFI to be held in their treasuries,”
he said earlier this year.
In addition to the financial partnership, WLFI executives will take on influential roles within ALT5 Sigma. Zach Witkoff, WLFI’s CEO and co-founder, is set to become Chairman of ALT5 Sigma’s board. Eric Trump will join as a director, while WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman will serve as a board observer. Matt Morgan will also join the company as Chief Investment Officer.
Currently, WLFI tokens are not available for public trading. However, following a recent near-unanimous vote by token holders, tokens previously sold to early investors are scheduled for unlocking and trading in the near future. The timeline for releasing the remaining tokens, part of the total 100 billion supply, will be determined by a forthcoming community vote.
Separately, WLFI has been actively building its own crypto treasury, acquiring millions in assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum over recent months, reinforcing its position within the DeFi and broader crypto ecosystem.
