Trump Family Reduces Stake in World Liberty Financial as Stablecoin Nears $2B Valuation

The TRUMP family has discreetly reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial (WLF) despite the venture's stablecoin approaching a $2 billion valuation. According to filings reviewed by Forbes, DT Marks DEFI LLC—the Trump family's holding company—cut its WLF ownership from 75% in late 2024 to roughly 40% by mid-June 2025. The equity reduction, visible only on WLF's website, coincides with the firm's USD1 stablecoin surpassing $2.1 billion in circulation.

Filings reveal the stake was trimmed in stages: from 75% at WLF's September 2024 launch to 60% by January 2025, then to 40% after June 8. No public announcement accompanied the moves. Analysts estimate the 20% divestment could have netted around $190 million, with Donald Trump potentially receiving $135 million personally if valued similarly to Circle. Trump disclosed $57.4 million in WLF-related earnings for 2024, channeled through the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.
