These appointments strengthen the connection between the Trump family enterprise and ALT5 Sigma.ALT5 will sell 100 million shares directly to institutional investors at $7.50 per share. The other 100 million shares will be issued through a private placement in exchange for WLFI tokens.The financing is expected to close on August 12, 2025. At the time of the announcement, WLFI was trading at approximately $0.3659, according to data from CoinGecko.Proceeds from the cash portion of the transaction will be directed toward several key areas. ALT5 plans to fund its crypto treasury operations, purchase additional WLFI tokens, and pay down existing debt.The company will also use the funds to settle ongoing litigation and strengthen its working capital position. These allocations suggest ALT5 is using this deal to both reshape its balance sheet and resolve outstanding financial obligations.Expanding Crypto OperationsFounded in 2018, ALT5 Sigma has established itself in the cryptocurrency sector with multiple service offerings. The company operates the crypto payment platform ALT5 Pay and maintains an over-the-counter trading desk called ALT5 Prime.ALT5 claims to have processed over $5 billion in digital asset transactions since its founding. This track record positions the company as an established player in cryptocurrency financial services.By incorporating WLFI as a cornerstone of its balance sheet, ALT5 is making a strategic bet on the token’s future value. The company appears to be leveraging both general cryptocurrency market momentum and the Trump family’s political profile.This decision represents a calculated risk for ALT5, connecting the company’s financial performance to both market factors and political considerations as the Trump family maintains its prominence in American politics.The transaction marks one of the largest corporate treasury investments in a specific cryptocurrency token in recent months. It represents a growing trend of public companies incorporating digital assets into their balance sheets as strategic investments.For World Liberty Financial, the deal provides validation for its WLFI token and expands its institutional footprint through association with a Nasdaq-listed company. The arrangement benefits both organizations while deepening ties between the Trump family’s business interests and the cryptocurrency sector.The post World Liberty Financial and ALT5 Sigma Announce $1.5B Treasury Integration appeared first on Blockonomi.
