ALT5 Sigma Corporation has secured $1.5 billion in funding through a round led by World Liberty Financial to launch a corporate treasury strategy built around WLFI tokens.
Announced on Aug. 12, the deal combined a registered direct offering with a concurrent private placement, both priced at $7.50 per share, attracting participation from leading institutional investors and crypto-focused venture capital firms.
Under the agreement, ALT5 will retain approximately 7.5% of the total WLFI token supply, with the token valued at $0.20 in its first public pricing since launch. Kraken will act as asset manager for the initiative.
Leadership Shake-up Following the Deal
The funding round also ushered in major leadership changes. WLFI co-founder and CEO Zach Witkoff has been appointed chairman of ALT5’s board, with Eric Trump joining as a director. WLFI co-founder and COO Zak Folkman will serve as a board observer, while Matt Morgan takes on the role of chief investment officer.
Founded in 2018, ALT5 offers blockchain-driven solutions for tokenization, trading, settlement, and payments through its ALT5 Pay and ALT5 Prime platforms. ALT5 Prime specializes in over-the-counter digital asset trading, while ALT5 Pay enables global merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments with the option for instant fiat conversion. To date, the company has processed more than $5 billion in cryptocurrency transactions.
World Liberty Financial’s growing footprint
The WLFI treasury strategy represents a major step toward integrating the governance token into corporate finance. Rooted in Donald Trump’s vision, WLFI is a decentralized finance protocol focused on expanding access to DeFi and creating tools to drive broader adoption.
The $1.5 billion raise builds on a series of recent WLFI milestones, including a $52.1 million private token sale in July, a $10 million investment in Falcon Finance, and the listing of WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin on Binance.
The rapid growth of both WLFI and ALT5 underscores the increasing convergence of traditional capital markets, decentralized finance, and political brand influence.
