Trump-Backed $1.5B Crypto Firm Targets Nasdaq Listing

World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Donald Trump, is launching a $1.5 billion Nasdaq-listed treasury company exclusively for its WLFI tokens. Inspired by MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin success, the firm aims to capitalize on institutional crypto demand. The strategy involves acquiring a shell company for faster market access, with top investors already engaged.

The project builds on WLF’s $550 million raised through token sales, backed by figures like Justin Sun. Trump disclosed $57.4 million in earnings from his 15.75 billion WLFI holdings, highlighting his financial stake. The Trump ecosystem is doubling down on crypto, with Trump Media also acquiring $2B in Bitcoin for its treasury.

This Nasdaq debut could cement WLF as a major institutional crypto player, blending traditional finance with digital assets. The move reflects broader trends, as crypto treasury firms allocated $79B for Bitcoin purchases in 2025. Trump’s involvement underscores crypto’s rising political and financial influence.
