Trump Family Reduces Stake in World Liberty Financial Amid Stablecoin Expansion

Donald Trump's company has quietly reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%, continuing a trend of divestment that began during his presidency. The move, undisclosed to the public, follows earlier cuts from an initial 75% holding. TRUMP earned $57.4 million from the venture over a 12-month period ending December 2024.

World Liberty Financial, launched in September 2024 as a crypto project backed by the Trump family, has recorded over $550 million in token sales. The company recently announced a dollar-linked stablecoin, buoyed by a $2 billion commitment from a UAE investment firm. By early June, its valuation drew informal comparisons to Circle, which went public the same day.

The stake reduction coincides with growing institutional interest in stablecoins and digital assets. Market observers note the timing aligns with broader trends of traditional finance players cautiously engaging with crypto ventures while managing regulatory exposure.
