ALT5 Sigma secures 1.5B investment for WLFI treasury

ALT5 Sigma announces a major financing tied to a WLFI token treasury plan, with board appointments including Eric Trump.

ALT5 Sigma Secures 1.5 Billion Investment for WLFI Treasury Expansion

ALT5 Sigma Corporation said it has entered into definitive agreements for a registered direct offering and a concurrent private placement totaling up to 100 million shares at 7.50 per share, aiming to raise about 1.5 billion dollars before fees. The private placement will be settled with WLFI tokens from World Liberty Financial as consideration. Closing is expected around August 12, 2025. The company plans to use the net proceeds to fund WLFI token purchases and establish the companys cryptocurrency treasury, settle litigation, repay debt, and support ongoing operations.

Post closing, leaders from WLFI and ALT5 will join the board and management, including Zach Witkoff as chair and Eric Trump as a director. The deal marks a major step in ALT5s push to become a crypto trading and payments platform, and it raises questions about governance, regulatory risk, and how such a treasury might interact with financial markets.

The move blends corporate finance with crypto markets, embedding a token ecosystem into a traditional equity offering. Using WLFI tokens as consideration and building a crypto treasury proposes a new model for how cash flows and governance could work in a public company.

But the setup comes with governance risk and political optics. The appointment of a high profile figure connected to politics to the board can attract scrutiny and public reaction. Regulators may weigh how securities laws apply to token-based payments and treasury operations. Investors will want transparent governance, clear reporting, and independent risk management to avoid missteps.

Highlights

The coming months will reveal how this fusion of finance and crypto unfolds in practice.
