"According to the watchdog group Public Citizen, World Liberty Financial, a new-age finance firm that issues crypto tokens and stablecoins, and which Trump co-founded in 2024, has created more than a billion dollars for him in equity and cash inflows."

Don't call us just a WLFI treasury company, says AI Financial

The company says it is building a broader fintech, tokenization and digital infrastructure business, but its latest SEC filing shows WLFI still dominates the balance sheet.

AI Financial (formerly Alt5 Sigma)—essentially a holding company for Trump's WLFI crypto token—just reported a $271 million loss in Q1.

(Also, filing was delinquent.)

Why I think stories of Trumps' crypto profiteering don't resonate as much as they should—

"The last time Pew surveyed Americans on their sentiments about crypto, around 60% reported they had little to no confidence in it. Roughly the same share now says the same about Mr Trump. "
