A company owned by U.S. President Donald Trump has reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%. This was revealed through careful scrutiny of the company's website data. No official statement has been issued regarding this change.
Changes in Trump's Stake
Following Trump's inauguration in January 2025, interest in World Liberty tokens surged, with $200 million sold within just 29 hours. However, as of January 24, 2025, DT Marks DEFI LLC’s stake in the project decreased to 60%, possibly indicating a planned partial exit from the project by the Trump family.
History of World Liberty Financial
The World Liberty Financial project was launched by Donald Trump in September 2024. It promised a 'financial revolution,' with restrictions on reselling tokens. It was stated that 75% of revenues after reaching a $30 million sales threshold would go to Trump and his family. The Trump family established a series of companies to facilitate this endeavor, including renaming DT Tower II LLC to DT Marks DEFI LLC.
Future of the Project and Predictions
In March, World Liberty announced a token sale totaling $550 million and introduced a new stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. An investor from the UAE agreed to invest $2 billion into a crypto exchange using the stablecoin. Currently, the project's valuation could approach around $1.7 billion. If so, the Trump family might have made approximately $190 million from their stake, with around $135 million attributed directly to Donald Trump.
The reduction of Trump's stake in World Liberty Financial highlights ongoing changes in his financial strategies. Current developments may significantly influence the project's future and investor interest in the cryptocurrency sector.
