- World Liberty Financial’s cryptocurrency portfolio has incurred $124 million in unrealized losses, with Ethereum accounting for $93.6 million of this decline.
- Despite these losses, WLFI continues its investment strategy, recently purchasing 541,783 SEI tokens using $100,000 in USDC.
- The platform successfully raised approximately $590 million through its token sale, placing it among the top 10 largest in history.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform backed by President Donald Trump and his family, is grappling with significant financial setbacks. The cryptocurrency investments of WLFI have led to a total $124 million loss in operational value according to Lookonchain’s on-chain data due to market volatility.
WLFI proceeds with its determined investment practices even after suffering sizable financial setbacks. The platform made another investment in 541,783 SEI tokens late Thursday through a USDC deposit of $100,000. WLFI is devoted to broadening its crypto portfolio through new investments during times of market decline.
The portfolio of WLFI consists of nine cryptocurrency assets that include Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX), Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE) and Ethena (ENA) as well as the digital currencies Ondo Finance (ONDO) and Sei (SEI) and Movement (MOVE).
ETH stands as the top contributor to unrealized losses at $93.6 million out of all assets held by the company. The company made a strategic move in early March by using $11.2 million to purchase triple the amount of ETH tokens, which became the largest single holding in their crypto portfolio. ETH’s price decrease by 13% ended up increasing losses at the platform.
The portfolio of WLFI suffered a total loss exceeding $3 million when wBTC, AAVE, LINK, and ENA traded in the market. LINK sustained an 18% price reduction starting March 7 which delivered substantial negative effects on the platform’s market worth. The value of MOVE tokens dropped by 10.5 percent throughout the last seven days until it reached the market price of $0.47.
In February, WLFI transferred its entire crypto treasury to Coinbase Prime, citing the move as part of its treasury management strategy to cover operational expenses, fees, and working capital requirements. The platform clarified via its official X account that this action was not indicative of token liquidation but rather a reallocation of assets for standard business purposes.
Contrasting its investment challenges, WLFI successfully concluded its token sale, raising approximately $590 million. Data from ICODrops places this fundraising effort among the top 10 largest in history, though it remains below the record $4.21 billion raised by EOS.
Co-founder Zak Folkman credited Tron’s Justin Sun for this achievement, acknowledging Sun’s $30 million investment in November 2024 and his increased commitment in 2025. Folkman noted that Sun’s involvement helped shift market sentiment positively toward WLFI, especially given initial hesitancy due to the platform’s affiliation with the Trump family.
