Investment Group ALT5 Sigma Acquires $1.5 Billion for WLFI's Financial Reserves
ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a leading fintech company with offerings in electronic trading and cryptocurrency payments, has announced a significant fundraising effort of $1.5 billion. This capital injection is primarily intended to establish a corporate treasury for World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, a crypto venture backed by former US President Donald Trump.
The fundraising is a combination of a registered direct stock offering and a concurrent private placement, with ALT5 Sigma planning to sell 200 million shares. Each share will be sold at $7.50, and the remaining $750 million will be paid in cash. As part of the deal, ALT5 Sigma will receive $750 million worth of WLFI tokens at a price of $0.20 per token.
World Liberty Financial co-founder Zach Witkoff and Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, will join ALT5's board of directors. This move further strengthens the ties between the two companies, with WLFI co-founders also taking on leadership roles within ALT5.
ALT5 Sigma's offerings include ALT5 Prime, an electronic over-the-counter trading platform for digital assets, and ALT5 Pay, a cryptocurrency payment gateway. The company's strategic pivot towards crypto asset management is evident in this fundraising, positioning it as a key institutional holder and strategic player in the WLFI ecosystem.
The fundraising process has shown some volatility, with ALT5 shares dropping 11% at one point. However, the direct effects on long-term stock performance will depend on how effectively ALT5 Sigma leverages the WLFI treasury strategy and the market reception of this crypto-centric pivot.
After the deal closes, ALT5 will own approximately 7.5% of the total WLFI supply in its treasury, marking a significant increase in its ownership stake. This move underscores ALT5 Sigma's commitment to the WLFI project and its potential role in shaping the future of digital finance.
