In recent developments, a company called ALT5 Sigma has announced its plan to establish a treasury that will maintain World Liberty Financial’s tokens, which bear the backing of the Trump family. This move mirrors how Strategy transitioned to a bitcoin proxy stock due to the actions of its then-CEO, now chairman, Michael Saylor, who commenced a Bitcoin purchasing spree. WLFI tokens, which were earlier non-transferable, may start trading by the end of the month.

About WLFI Treasury

Bitcoin and ether already have their designated treasuries, but now the stage is set for a new WLFI treasury. This occurrence marks yet another milestone for digital coin followers, as treasuries for these popular cryptocurrencies continue to emerge. This week, an announced stock-and-token deal aims to convert a publicly traded company into a representative for the World Liberty Financial coin, popularly known as ‘WLFI.’

The ALT5 Sigma Transaction

ALT5 Sigma, a company initially focussed on health-tech, collected a whopping $1.5 billion via the sale of 200 million new and existing shares. Some of the proceeds have been slated for use to acquire WLFI from World Liberty Financial. ALT5’s strategy involves maintaining a treasury specifically for WLFI, which will hold almost 7.5% of the coin’s total supply. World Liberty Financial played the role of the lead investor in ALT5’s share sale, with ALT5 disclosing in an announcement that it received $750 million of WLFI from the Trump-supported crypto project in exchange for ALT5 shares in a private placement.

Trends in Digital Asset Treasuries

This latest incident paves the way for companies to grow as treasuries of digital assets, sustaining them in significant quantities for appreciation and as an alternative to other balance-sheet assets. This trend follows the footsteps of Michael Saylor, who transformed his enterprise software company into a representative for Bitcoin, currently the largest cryptocurrency worldwide. Now, Strategy holds close to 630,000 units of Bitcoin.

Alternatives to Bitcoin and Ether

Although Bitcoin and ether are the more commonly held currencies, the ALT5 investment points towards signs that a few companies are exploring other venues. World Liberty endeavoured to accumulate $300 million through a token sale in October but received a relatively tepid reception.

Changes in Board of Directors

Post the capital raising, Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, joined the ALT5 board of directors in an interesting turn of events. Simultaneously, World Liberty Financial cofounder Zach Witkoff took over the reins as chairman. This information is particularly noteworthy as Zach is the son of Steve Witkoff, who was appointed as the Middle East special envoy by Trump.

Transferability of WLFI

When WLFI was launched, it was decreed as non-transferable, keeping in mind its 100 billion-token supply. Yet, World Liberty Financial announced in mid-July that the token might commence trading by the end of this month following a unanimous community vote.

Caution for WLFI Traders

Traders investing in WLFI should adopt a cautious stance. Several ‘copycat’ coins, including ‘Wen Lambo Financial’, have cropped up on various exchanges bearing the same symbol. Meanwhile, witnessing a surge in values on Wednesday were the shares of the micro-cap ALT5. Before investing in any coin, traders should conduct thorough research and exercise due diligence to avoid potential pitfalls.
