World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by Donald Trump and his family, has recorded a total unrealized loss of $124 million on nine tokens, according to on-chain data from Lookonchain.

The losses come despite WLFI’s ongoing investment strategy, which included purchasing an additional 541,783 SEI tokens late Thursday using $100,000 in USDC.

ETH, wBTC, LINK, and AAVE Market Slump Adds to WLFI Losses

Among the biggest losses in WLFI’s portfolio is ETH, leading with $93.6 million in losses. On March 6, the project significantly increased its ETH holdings, tripling its position in the crypto within a week.

Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that WLFI now holds approximately $11.2 million more in ETH than the previous week. However, ETH prices have dropped over 13%, adding $1.92 million in losses over the same period.

Other losses were incurred from WBTC, AAVE, LINK, and ENA, all losing over $3 million. LINK contributed significantly, with a drop of nearly 18% from its value of $17.6 on March 7.

Last week, WLFI added $10 million in Wrapped Bitcoin and $1.5 million in Movement Network (MOVE) tokens to its treasury. These acquisitions deepened WLFI’s overall portfolio losses, with MOVE dropping more than 10.5% in the last week, now trading at $0.47.

In early February, WLFI transferred its entire crypto treasury to Coinbase Prime, stating that it was part of its treasury management strategy to cover operational expenses.

> “To be clear, we are not selling tokens, we are simply reallocating assets for ordinary business purposes,” WLFI clarified on its official X account, addressing accusations of dumping tokens.

WLFI’s Token Sale Raises $590 Million

In a more positive turn, WLFI has successfully closed its token sale, raising approximately $590 million in funding. According to data from ICODrops, this positions WLFI’s token sale among the top 10 largest in history, although still short of the record $4.21 billion raised by EOS.

WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman credited Justin Sun from Tron for the project’s fundraising success, noting that his investment helped enhance market sentiment towards WLFI.

> “When we were launching this project, it was a very heated time,” Folkman mentioned at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong. “There was a lot of scrutiny on our project due to who was involved.”

He pointed out that many traditional crypto venture capital firms were hesitant to invest in WLFI due to its political ties. However, Sun made a bold investment worth $30 million in November 2024, further increasing his commitment this year, acknowledging that regardless of the outcome, this project is significant for the entire crypto community.

As per the latest information on WLFI’s website, only 34.6 million tokens remain from the 5 billion available for public sale as of January 20. It has sold 24.97 billion WLFI tokens, representing 25% of the total token supply.
