World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency platform supported by President Donald Trump, has announced the creation of a strategic token reserve aimed at bolstering leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This initiative seeks to mitigate market volatility and invest in innovative decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.
In a statement released on February 11, 2025, WLF outlined its plan to establish a well-capitalized reserve to stabilize its portfolio and support emerging DeFi ventures. The company is also pursuing strategic partnerships with financial institutions to contribute tokenized assets to this reserve, thereby enhancing its financial foundation.
This move aligns with the Trump family’s increasing involvement in the cryptocurrency sector. Beyond WLF, the family holds a majority stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, a social media and streaming company that recently announced a pivot into financial services linked to cryptocurrencies. Additionally, just days before his inauguration, President Trump launched the $TRUMP meme coin, further signaling his commitment to the digital currency landscape.
Financially, WLF has experienced significant inflows, with token sales reaching $500 million, according to Reuters calculations. The Trump family and its affiliat88es own a 60% stake in WLF’s holding company, entitling them to 75% of the revenues and 22.5 billion tokens.
Recently, Donald Trump Jr. addressed attendees at the Ondo Summit in New York City, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that would allow cryptocurrencies to flourish. He described crypto as the “future of finance” and a key component of “American hegemony.”
The establishment of WLF’s strategic token reserve represents a significant step in the company’s efforts to bridge the gap between the crypto world and mainstream retail investors, including professionals like teachers, firefighters, and dentists. By creating a more stable and well-capitalized reserve, WLF aims to foster greater confidence and participation in the evolving digital finance landscape.
