Those are big moves. Share percentages on a website don’t always track with legal filings. Yet a change of 35 percentage points in under six months would be hard to miss on any balance sheet.
Revenue numbers for 2024 show that DT Marks DeFi LLC pulled in $57 million from token sales alone. If WLFI’s valuation matches that of Circle at its IPO, Forbes suggests the Trumps may have turned roughly $190 million in paper value into real cash, with about $135 million flowing to US President Donald Trump himself. That’s about 70% of the total haul, by their estimate.
Cryptocurrency firms often push for looser rules. When the head of state profits from those ventures, regulators may take a closer look. There’s no sign of an official inquiry yet. However, conflict‑of‑interest concerns could surface if White House insiders are still involved when those shares change hands.
Investors are now watching the WLFI website and waiting for formal SEC filings or public disclosures. A clear picture of who owns what will help everyone understand whether these stake cuts are part of a planned exit, a strategic shift, or simply an online typo. Markets hate uncertainty. More clarity could send WLFI tokens higher—or prompt a fresh sell‑off.
