Alt5 Sigma Corporation, a FinTech registered with NASDAQ, which operates Crypto's trading and payments platform, plans to raise approximately $1.5 billion through stock offerings and private placement with WLFI token funds.
The move will result in the majority of the world's Liberty Financial's WLFI tokens being featured on Alt5's balance sheet, with some of the Stablecoin Issuer executives, including Eric Trump, becoming Alt5's leadership.
The funding structure includes two components at a price of $7.50 per share. A simultaneous private placement funded with registered direct products and WLFI tokens. In total, the transaction covers up to 200 million shares and is expected to close around August 12th. Alt5 is expected to hold approximately 7.5% of the total $WLFI token supply as part of its new corporate financial strategy.
World Liberty Financial, the publisher of USD1 Stablecoin, leads a private Defi company. Co-founder and CEO Zach Witkoff will become chairman of Alt5's board of directors after the transaction is over. Eric Trump will win a seat on the board, Zach Faulkman will become an observer on the board, and Matt Morgan will be the Chief Investment Officer. The alignment places key WLFI leadership, including members of the president's family, in a position to influence Alt5's strategic direction.
Timing is shaped in part by changing enforcement actions and regulations under President Donald J. Trump in a policy environment favoring digital assets. Stablecoin regulations in the US have recently moved to a more clear legal framework. Market participants say they are improving institutional adoption. USD1's Stablecoin is promoted within that context, adding weight to scrutiny as to the extent that these crafting policies can indirectly benefit from the relevant business activities.
What is Alt5? And how do you link to Trump?
Alt5 intends to use the proceeds from its offerings to acquire WLFI tokens, expand the Department of Cryptocurrency operations, resolve lawsuits, pay debts, and provide support operations. Listed under Alts on Nasdaq and under Frankfurt under 5AR1, the company operates Alt5 Pay, a crypto payment gateway for merchants, and Alt5 Prime, an OTC trading platform for digital assets.
Since its launch in 2018, Alt5 has processed over $5 billion in crypto transactions and has been added to several Russell indexes after the 2025 reconfiguration. We also pursue biotechnology research through our subsidiary Alyea Therapeutics.
Provides API integration and checkout solutions, allowing merchants to accept crypto payments for BTC, ETH, Stablecoins and other digital assets. Therefore, online stores and businesses can obtain cryptographic codes from customers around the world. Alt5 also offers OTC trading services, custody and settlement.
World Liberty Financial describes its position as a decentralized finance and governance platform aimed at expanding access to blockchain-based financial tools. The company has positioned USD1 as a major stubcoin due to its distribution growth, ensuring participation in funding rounds from large institutional investors and crypto-centric ventures.
What's in there for the Trump family?
The transaction structure embeds a considerable amount of tokens held directly in the Corporate Treasury Department of Alt5, linking capital strategies to the performance of politically relevant Stablecoin projects.
The transaction gives WLFI even more legitimacy within the US. Public companies are subject to SEC reporting, auditing and investor scrutiny. This means that WLFI will prove “blue chip” holders to prove that tokens are a serious, regulated asset, rather than a day-night cryptographic project.
It also adds liquidity as ALT5, which holds large blocks, creates a floor recognition of price. Investors may assume that Alt5 does not suddenly throw away the token. Removing tokens from circulation reduces circulation supply and can support price stability and upward pressure when demand increases.
AGP/Alliance Global Partners is the only placement agent for a transaction. Registered direct products are implemented under an effective Form S-3 shelf registration with the SEC, while private placement consists of exemption from the registration requirements.
