ALT5 Sigma Corporation has secured a $1.5 billion capital infusion through a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement led by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance venture backed by the Trump family. The financing included a Form S-3 shelf registration effective August 8, 2025, with prospectus details filed on August 11.
As part of the deal, Eric Trump was appointed to ALT5's board of directors, while WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff became Chairman. Kraken will manage the assets, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acting as placement agent. Institutional investors and crypto VCs participated in the private placement.
Eric Trump confirmed the WLFI community voted to make its token tradable, noting the pairing of WLFI's USD1 stablecoin with ALT5's "cutting-edge treasury strategy" creates unprecedented market potential. He announced WLFI will be listed on major centralized and decentralized exchanges to ensure global liquidity. The deal triggered a 467% surge in ALT5 Sigma's market capitalization despite recent volatility and past security concerns involving Trump-linked crypto scams.
