U.S. President Donald Trump and his business associates will claim 75% of the net revenues from World Liberty Financial’s (WLFI) project.
According to WLFI’s gold paper, this share includes earnings from WLFI token sales after deducting operating expenses, as detailed in the company’s issuance documents.
WLFI Fundraising and Token Distribution
World Liberty Financial recently completed its fundraising efforts, raising a total of $550 million, according to an official update. The sale of WLFI’s token started in October 2024, targeting $300 million. The project made 20 billion tokens available at $0.015 per piece. Notably, only whitelisted investors could participate.
The token sale, however, generated $11 million from 766 million WLFI sold. In response to lower-than-expected demand, the team revised its funding goal downward to $30 million to align with investor interest.
The first phase of the token sale completed on January 20, with 20% of the supply successfully distributed. Among the notable investors was Justin Sun.
Trump’s Financial Agreement and Role
From the funds raised, $30 million has been allocated to cover firm expenses, indemnities, and other financial commitments. The remaining amount is distributed among stakeholders, with Trump and his partners at DT Marks DEFI LLC securing 75% of the net revenue, amounting to $390 million.
In exchange, Trump is expected to occasionally promote the project and permit the use of his name and likeness, as outlined in the company’s gold paper.
While he does not hold an active management role at World Liberty Financial, he remains a key figure in the project’s promotion. Notably, his involvement ensures a significant financial return despite his limited direct participation.
Community Reacts
Users on the X platform have raised concerns about the project’s revenue structure. One user questioned whether the high fees would impact the project’s success and adoption in the long term.
Another user commented on the revenue model, highlighting the 75% share allocated to Trump and his partners. The post noted that such a structure deviates from conventional financial norms but acknowledged the boldness of the approach.
The statement suggested that the revenue split was remarkable in its audacity despite raising concerns about its sustainability.
