It has been revealed that a company owned by US President Donald Trump has quietly reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial, one of Trump's most important cryptocurrency ventures, from 60% to 40%. The change was noticed through careful analysis of the fine print on the platform’s website. While no official statement has been made regarding the share reduction, the development is being interpreted as a new sign that Trump is continuing his financial moves behind the scenes while in office. Donald Trump first introduced the crypto project called World Liberty Financial in September 2024, during the final period of his election campaign. It was announced that the tokens sold to investors in the project, which came to the fore with promises of a “financial revolution,” could not be resold. It was also stated that 75% of the revenues obtained after the $30 million sales threshold would be transferred to Trump and his family. The Trump family established a series of companies to carry out this project. Trump changed the name of the company he created in 2016, DT Tower II LLC, to DT Marks DEFI LLC. 30% of this company, which was previously owned by Trump, was transferred to his sons Don Jr., Eric and his younger son Barron Trump. In July 2024, three new companies bearing the initials of the children's names were established in the state of Delaware: DJT Jr DEFI LLC, ET DEFI LLC and BWT DEFI LLC. The Trump family’s parent company, DT Marks DEFI LLC, owned a 75% stake in World Liberty Financial, according to a financial statement released in late December 2024. But things started to change in early 2025. Ahead of Trump’s inauguration on January 20, interest in World Liberty tokens has exploded. It was reported that $200 million was sold in just 29 hours. During the same period, the company structure was also changed, and as of January 24, DT Marks DEFI LLC’s stake in the project dropped to 60%.

It was also confirmed that a court-appointed financial watchdog had received information that the Trumps were planning to sell part of their stake in DT Marks DEFI LLC. However, it is not known who bought the stake or for how much. In March, World Liberty announced a token sale totaling $550 million. Soon after, another new initiative was introduced: a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. A firm owned by the President of the United Arab Emirates agreed to invest $2 billion in a major crypto exchange using the stablecoin. On June 5, Circle, a stablecoin issuer with no ties to Trump, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares nearly tripled on the first day. This rally showed investor interest in the stablecoin sector and led to estimates that World Liberty Financial could reach a similar valuation of around $1.7 billion. After June 8, the information on the World Liberty Financial website changed again. The Trump family’s company DT Marks DEFI LLC’s share in the project dropped to 40%. The details of the sale were not disclosed again. However, if the company is valued similarly to Circle, the Trump family could have made around $190 million. It is estimated that around $135 million of this amount belongs directly to Donald Trump. *This is not investment advice.
