- The plan would see ALT5 become one of the biggest institutional holders of $WLFI with an approximate 7.5 percent of the total supply.
ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTS) has announced one of the biggest crypto treasury strategies of the year, raising a billion and a half in funds in order to purchase and take a considerable position in the World Liberty Financial $WLFI token. The transaction, a registered direct offering as well as a private placement, has the potential to redefine the role that ALT5 will play in the ecosystem of digital assets in general and a new era of crypto gambles supported by institutional investors.

$1.5B to Supercharge a Token Treasury
Under the offering, ALT5 will sell as many as 200 million shares at 7.50 per share – 100 million in a registered direct offering and the remaining 100 million in a private placement. The portion secured through a private placement will be in the form of tokens of project WLFI, which means that ALT5 is immediately becoming one of the largest stakeholders in it.
After the purchase goes through, ALT5 will own approximately 7.5 percent of the entire $WLFI supply, producing one of the largest-known instances of a single-body holding of the fledgling asset. With a token that is trying to present itself as the cornerstone of decentralized finance (DeFi), such concentrated ownership portrays confidence in its major market players.
The at-the-market offering under the Nasdaq rules is attractive to both institutions used to making traditional investments and those specialising in crypto venture capital. Though the official closing date should come in near August 12, it is indicated that most of the financial commitments are already secured.
High-Profile Names Join the Boardroom
Alongside the capital raise, ALT5 announced a notable leadership revamp. Zach Witkoff, CEO and co-founder of World Liberty Financial the company behind USD1, currently touted as the fastest-growing stablecoin will take over as Chairman of ALT5’s board.
Eric Trump will join as a Director, adding political and media visibility to the company’s strategy, while Zak Folkman, WLFI’s COO, will serve as a board observer. Matt Morgan will step in as Chief Investment Officer, overseeing treasury management and asset allocation.
The involvement of politically connected figures and crypto-native executives could be a strategic move to strengthen both regulatory relationships and market trust.

Funding Allocation and Strategic Goals
Some of the uses of proceeds invoked by ALT5 other than purchasing WLFI include:
The existing products include a crypto-to-fiat global settlement services enabled by ALT5 Pay, and an over-the-counter crypto trading service run by ALT5 Prime to approved customers. It has transacted more than 5 billion dollars by combined platforms since their inception.
By tying $WLFI directly into its corporate treasury, ALT5 could integrate the token into payment flows, trading pairs, and settlement options effectively creating real-world demand for the asset it now partly controls.
A Calculated Bet with High Stakes
This strategy will only be successful with the adoption path of $WLFI. As USD1 stablecoin picks up some momentum and WLFI sits on the backseat as the governance and ecosystem token, the potential is high but so are the risks.
At this point, the billion-dollar capital injection hints at the fact that ALT5 is ready to take high-conviction bets in the digital assets arena. This may be the start of a new roadmap on how corporations can use DeFi, we will see what comes next, but the market is paying attention.
