World Liberty Financial, a DeFi platform linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, made significant crypto purchases on his inauguration as the 47th President.
Significant Crypto Purchases
World Liberty Financial purchased approximately $112.8 million worth of cryptocurrencies on January 20, 2025, marking President Trump’s inauguration. According to posts on the platform's X account, the DeFi project added six different tokens to its treasury, with the most notable acquisitions being $47 million worth of Ether (ETH) and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). Additionally, the project added $4.7 million each in Aave (AAVE), Chainlink (LINK), TRON (TRX), and ENA tokens. These purchases are seen as a strategic diversification of World Liberty’s holdings, positioning the project to take advantage of emerging trends in the crypto market.
Growing Portfolio with Strategic Token Sales
Amid the recent acquisitions, WLFI completed the sale of 20% of its token supply, totaling $254 million raised since October 2024. The project plans to sell an additional 5 billion WLFI tokens, representing 5% of its total supply, to continue its momentum in 2025. In addition to World Liberty Financial’s purchases, TRON DAO has increased its stake in the project. The organization, led by Justin Sun, invested an additional $45 million, acquiring 1 billion WLFI tokens. This brought its total holdings to approximately $75 million.
World Liberty Financial's strategic investments in cryptocurrencies underline the platform's significant expansion in the digital asset market and its commitment to diversifying its portfolio.
