The post World Liberty Financial Plans $1.5B Public Company to Hold WLFI Tokens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-backed crypto venture, is exploring the creation of a publicly traded company to hold its WLFI tokens, with a fundraising target of roughly $1.5 billion. The structure of the deal is still being finalized, but major investors in technology and crypto have been approached, and discussions are said to be progressing quickly, according to a Friday report from Bloomberg. The move would place World Liberty among a growing wave of digital-asset treasury companies, which are publicly traded firms holding crypto reserves. These companies have raised an estimated $79 billion in 2025 for Bitcoin purchases alone, per the report. World Liberty, whose website names Donald Trump as “co-founder emeritus,” launched last year with plans for a crypto-lending app and currently offers USD1, a dollar-backed stablecoin.

The approach mirrors strategies pioneered by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, which transformed itself into a Bitcoin holding company in 2020. Strategy has since amassed over $72 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) and reached a market cap of nearly $113 billion. The success of Strategy’s stock as a proxy for Bitcoin has inspired a rush of copycats, from a Japanese budget hotel chain to new treasury firms for Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Sui (SUI) and other altcoins. Trump Media, another family-linked venture, bought $2 billion in Bitcoin earlier this year for its own treasury. Top 15 Bitcoin treasury firms.
