President Donald Trump’s family has reduced its interest in World Liberty Financial (WLFI) over the past few weeks, Forbes reported on June 20.
DT Marks Defi LLC, the project’s main holding company, reduced ownership from 75% in December 2024 to about 60% by January, and further reduced it to about 40% since June 8th.
The reduction was shown in the updated language on the World Liberty Financial website and was not publicly announced.
It remains unclear whether the family directly benefited from stake cuts, but Forbes estimates suggest that the sale could have generated tens of millions of dollars. Trump personally reported more than $57 million in revenue from the venture as of June, based on the release.
The change comes as lawmakers seek to investigate the president’s financial ties with the crypto industry, while his management is pushing for policies on digital assets.
In March, World Liberty Financial began issuing its own USD1 stubcoin just days before Congress advanced its Genius Law.
The Senate passed the Genius Act this week with bipartisan support, but similar measures are facing debate in the House. The president urged House members to hand over the bill to “ASAP” in a social media post on June 19th.
World Liberty Financial has attracted international attention by raising approximately $550 million through two public token sales after the Abu Dhabi-based company announced plans to use USD1 stubcoin in a $2 billion investment in Vinance.
Trump’s organization and global Liberty Financial did not respond to requests for comment, but observers say the lack of public statements about stock sales could help families maintain confidence in the rest of their crypto holdings.
Trump and the Republican-led Congress have been added to the broader debate on the company’s interests as his venture expands the sector’s footprint while Trump and the Republican-led Congress pursue stubcoin regulation.
