Trump-Backed WLFI Targets Nasdaq Listing with $1.5B Token Treasury
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency venture linked to the Trump family, is reportedly planning a $1.5 billion Nasdaq-listed entity to hold its WLFI tokens. The move mirrors the strategy employed by MicroStrategy, positioning WLFI as a stock-market proxy for crypto exposure. Traditional investors could soon gain indirect access to WLFI tokens through this publicly traded vehicle.
Simultaneously, WLFI is rolling out a USD1 loyalty program aimed at high-frequency traders and DeFi users. The initiative underscores WLFI's aggressive push to capture market share amid growing institutional interest in digital assets. Bloomberg reports suggest the deal structure is nearing finalization, with tech and crypto investors already engaged in advanced discussions.
If successful, WLFI would join the ranks of digital-asset treasury firms that have collectively raised $79 billion for Bitcoin acquisitions in 2025 alone. The company plans to leverage an existing Nasdaq-listed shell company for the listing, following a well-trodden path in the crypto space.
