U.S. President Donald Trump has garnered more than $57 million in revenue from the sale of tokens from the World Liberty Financial (WLF) project. This information is derived from a financial disclosure published<\/a> by the Office of Government Ethics.<\/p>\n

Trump holds 15.75 billion native WLFI tokens. Their estimated value is listed between $1,001 and $15,000, granting him voting rights in the project’s governance.<\/p>\n

In WLF’s official documents, Trump is identified<\/a> as the company’s “chief crypto advocate” alongside his three sons. It is noted that he is neither a director, founder, nor owner of the firm.<\/p>\n

In March, the project concluded its second token sale round, raising $590 million<\/a>. The team is currently focused on promoting the USD1 stablecoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the operator of the Truth Social network, has received<\/a> approval from the SEC<\/span> to implement a bitcoin strategy. This decision unlocked $2.3 billion in capital raised from institutional investors.<\/p>\n

The company can allocate these funds to purchase digital gold at any time. The amount and timing of asset acquisitions are at TMTG’s discretion.<\/p>\n

The strategy also allows for the purchase of bitcoin-related securities or its sale for investment in other assets. According to a press release<\/a>, TMTG may raise up to $12 billion in additional funding through the issuance of shares, debt obligations, or warrants. However, the company “has no immediate plans to issue any securities” under this mechanism.<\/p>\n

The company is traded on Nasdaq under the ticker DJT. At the time of writing, the stock price is $19.52, according to Google Finance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump’s social network Truth Social has filed an application<\/a> with the SEC to launch a spot ETF tracking bitcoin and Ethereum prices. The product will be sponsored by Yorkville America Digital management company.<\/p>\n

The fund will offer investors access to a basket of the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization through the purchase of shares. This will spare them the complexities associated with direct ownership of digital assets.<\/p>\n

The fund’s cryptocurrency custody will be managed by Crypto.com exchange operator \u2014 Foris DAX Trust Company.<\/p>\n

The ETF shares are expected to be traded on the NYSE Arca. However, the company has yet to determine the instrument’s ticker and the custodian for fiat funds.<\/p>\n

Later, Truth Social will submit an amendment to the application. The company will disclose details of the transaction agreement with Crypto.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
