Trump's $500M Stake Sale to UAE Royal: 49% of WLFI Acquired

Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan reportedly invests $500M for 49% of WLFI. The governance token has seen an 8% rise despite Bitcoin's stagnation.

Recent reports indicate that Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan from Abu Dhabi, or associated investors, finalized a deal in January 2025, investing $500 million into World Liberty Financial (WLFI) in exchange for roughly 49% ownership. This substantial transaction is linked to the former President Donald Trump.

Currently, WLFI, which serves as the governance token for World Liberty Financial, has experienced a deviation from Bitcoin’s price trends. In fact, the token has surged approximately 8% today even as Bitcoin's value remains relatively stable.
