The Trump family recently reduced their stake in the crypto project World Liberty Financial. This move, made without public announcement, was noted through changes on the company's website.
Change in Ownership at World Liberty Financial
According to new information, Trump’s company, DT Marks DEFI LLC, has reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from around 60% to 40%. This occurred between June 8 and June 19, 2025. The reduction was not officially announced, which raises questions about possible hidden dealings by Trump during his presidency.
Success Story and Token Sales
World Liberty Financial was launched in September 2024. The project, touted as a 'financial revolution,' offered tokens that could not be resold. Initially, Trump owned the entire venture through DT Tower II LLC, which he later renamed to DT Marks DEFI LLC, transferring 30% ownership to his sons: Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron. By the end of 2024, ownership was at 75%, but it dropped to 60% by January 2025. During Trump’s inauguration, the company sold $200 million worth of tokens in just over a day, rising to $550 million by March.
Future and Possible Deals
Shortly after launch, World Liberty announced a new stablecoin, USD1, pegged to the US dollar. This was supported by a $2 billion investment from a company backed by the President of the UAE. If valued similarly to Circle, which recently went public, World Liberty could be worth $1.7 billion. This means selling 20% of the company could have generated around $190 million, potentially giving Trump $135 million personally.
Trump's and his family's stake reduction in World Liberty Financial highlights the potential and dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, raising questions about the family's future business actions and plans.
