Trump Family Slashes World Liberty Financial Stake by 20%—Quiet Exit or Strategic Pivot?

The Trump family just made a stealthy retreat from one of their financial strongholds—but why now?
World Liberty Financial, once a 60%-controlled asset, now sees the Trumps holding just 40%. No press releases, no tweets—just a quiet filing that slipped under the radar. Was it portfolio rebalancing? Or a preemptive move ahead of regulatory scrutiny?
Financial insiders whisper about 'liquidity events' and 'risk diversification.' Meanwhile, cynics note the timing—right as commercial real estate wobbles and crypto markets heat up. Coincidence? Probably not.
One thing's clear: when powerful players trim positions this sharply, they're either dodging a bullet... or loading up for the next big bet.

While the percentage drop does not show the actual realized amount in dollars, the Forbes report drew context from Circle’s recent stock rally after its initial public offering (IPO). The news outlet stressed that if World Liberty Financial has a similar valuation to Circle, the Trump family may have cleared $190 million, with approximately $135 million (70%) going to the President.
Recall that World Liberty Financial has entered the stablecoin market with the launch of the dollar-pegged USD1 token. The
cryptocurrency quickly gained traction as a firm backed by the Abu Dhabi government invested $2 billion into the stablecoin.
