The project released 24.6 billion tokens into circulation, briefly driving the price to $0.40 before stabilizing around $0.21.
Although the family’s holdings were previously expected to remain locked, the unlock valued their stake near $5 billion at current prices.
Launched in September 2024 during Trump’s presidential campaign, World Liberty Financial is one of several crypto ventures linked to the family, including a memecoin and a Bitcoin mining firm.
Reports suggest Trump has earned around $2.4 billion from crypto activities since 2022, with income streams spanning token sales, mining, and deals involving the UAE, as well as $1.3 billion from Bitcoin holdings in Trump Media and Technology Group.
Meanwhile, the family’s mining firm, American Bitcoin, is preparing to go public through a merger with Gryphon Digital.
The Winklevoss twins have invested, and Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump previously each owned 20% stakes.
