- Trump-linked entity DT Marks DEFI reduces holding to 40% in World Liberty Financial.
- Congress pushes stablecoin law as the Trump family exits part of their crypto position.
- World Liberty Financial raised $550 million and issued the USD1 stablecoin in March.
The Trump family has quietly reduced its majority stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to about 40%, according to updated legal filings. The change, revealed on the firm’s disclosure page, comes as pressure grows from U.S. lawmakers over the president’s ties to the crypto sector. The adjustment was made via DT Marks DEFI LLC, the Trump family’s holding company for its stake in World Liberty Financial.
Ownership Drop and Financial Details
DT Marks DEFI LLC previously held a 60% stake in WLF Holdco LLC, the parent company of World Liberty Financial. The new disclosure confirms that the entity now controls just 40% of the company. While there is no official statement, Forbes reported that proceeds from the sale could reach tens of millions of dollars.
The disclosure reads, “DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity affiliated with Donald J. Trump and certain of his family members, owns approximately 40% of the equity interests in WLF Holdco LLC.” That reduction marks a 20-point drop since March 2025.
Additionally, the Trump-linked entity still owns 22.5 billion WLFI tokens. The firm receives 75% of the token sale proceeds, according to the filing. Analysts estimate that in June alone, Trump reportedly earned $57 million from WLFI token sales.
Political Scrutiny and Regulatory Pressure
The move coincides with rising political pressure, as Congress advances the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoin payments nationwide. In March 2025, World Liberty Financial issued its own stablecoin, USD1, amid growing concerns among lawmakers over presidential involvement in crypto.
The GENIUS Act passed the Senate on June 17 with bipartisan support. However, its fate in the House remains uncertain due to Trump’s crypto holdings. On Wednesday, President Trump took to social media to urge the House to pass the legislation without delay.
Besides, the sale aligns with calls for investigations into Trump’s crypto activities. Democratic lawmakers are demanding accountability regarding personal gain and public policy overlap.

Token Sales and Global Ties
World Liberty Financial has raised roughly $550 million from two public token offerings. These efforts have garnered international attention, particularly after an Abu Dhabi firm, MGX, announced plans to use USD 1 in a $2 billion Binance deal.
Despite stepping back, the Trump family’s crypto interests remain extensive. Neither World Liberty Financial nor the Trump Organization appeared to issue any statement in response to the comments.
