Trump’s Crypto Firm Eyes Nasdaq Debut

World Liberty Financial, supported by the Trump family, is preparing to create a Nasdaq-listed company to hold its WLFI tokens. This project inspired by MicroStrategy’s pioneering strategy could open a new chapter at the crossroads of politics, financial markets, and cryptos.

A Strategy Inspired by Strategy’s Success

World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Donald Trump, is preparing a major financial operation that could mark a turning point in the digital assets world. 

The crypto company plans to create a publicly listed treasury company, valued at $1.5 billion, exclusively designed to hold its WLFI tokens. Revealed by Bloomberg, this initiative illustrates the growing ambition of the sector to structure its reserves according to proven models.

The strategy follows the model popularized by Michael Saylor with MicroStrategy, renamed Strategy, which became a true Bitcoin holding company in 2020. In four years, the company has accumulated more than $72 billion in BTC and reached a market capitalization of $113 billion. 

This spectacular success has spawned a wave of imitators, from Japanese budget hotels to treasury companies specializing in other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.

To speed up its launch, World Liberty Financial is betting on the acquisition of a shell company already listed on Nasdaq, thus avoiding the burdens and delays of a traditional IPO. 

Such an approach would offer almost immediate access to the liquidity of public markets, while limiting the risks related to the initial listing phase.

According to sources close to the matter, several top investors, from both tech and crypto sectors, have already been approached. Discussions are progressing at a steady pace, suggesting that the operation could materialize sooner than expected.

A Crypto Ecosystem Expanding Rapidly under the Trump Era

This initiative occurs in a particularly favorable context for cryptos. Digital asset treasury companies mobilized about $79 billion in 2025 solely for their bitcoin purchases.

World Liberty Financial already has a solid financial base. Specialized in DeFi and stablecoins, the platform raised $550 million in two public token sales, establishing itself as a credible challenger to traditional finance. 

Among its notable financial backers, Justin Sun, founder of Tron, invested $30 million for 2 billion tokens, while Web3Port contributed $10 million in January.

Donald Trump himself revealed in his 2025 public financial disclosure that he generated $57.4 million through his stake in World Liberty Financial. He currently holds 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens, with these revenues coming directly from token sales.

The Trump ecosystem even extends beyond WLF. Trump Media recently acquired for $2 billion in bitcoin to strengthen its own treasury. This move illustrates the family’s desire to firmly anchor itself in the crypto economy and exploit its strategic potential.

In sum, this public listing strategy could propel World Liberty Financial to the rank of major players in the institutional crypto industry. By drawing inspiration from the success of Strategy, Trump’s company is betting on the growing attractiveness of digital assets among traditional investors. A financial revolution that is only beginning.
