WLFI Token Debut Pushes Trumps’ Wealth

The Trump family’s crypto holdings surged in value after World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token went live on exchanges. They hold 22.5 billion WLFI, about 22.5% of total supply, plus a 38% equity stake in parent company WLF Holdco LLC. At around $0.25 per token, their holdings are worth $5.6 billion on paper, up from $1.1 billion based on presale pricing.

Funding and Circulating Supply

WLFI’s presale raised $590 million across multiple rounds, including $442.5 million collected by the Trump family. At launch, about 24.7% of tokens entered circulation, giving WLFI a $6.8 billion market cap. The majority of tokens, including the family’s allocation, remain locked under vesting schedules.
