World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency investment platform with connections to U.S. President Donald Trump, has reported a staggering $110 million in unrealized losses in its portfolio.
Recent data reveals that WLFI’s initial investment of $336 million across nine cryptocurrencies has plummeted to approximately $226 million. Ethereum (ETH) has emerged as the leading culprit for these losses, contributing to 65% of the total decline.
As of March 10, Ethereum trades around $2,000, significantly lower than WLFI’s average purchasing price of $3,240, resulting in an estimated loss of $80.85 million, representing nearly 37% of its overall investment.
In contrast, Tron (TRX) has demonstrated relative resilience, with only a 5% drop. Other tokens in the portfolio contributing to the losses include stETH ($10.27M), WHITE ($5.87M), Movement (MOVE) ($3.5M), and Ondo (ONDO) ($296,000).
Despite these setbacks, WLFI remains committed to enhancing its portfolio and expanding its network. On March 6, the platform acquired $21.5 million worth of Ethereum, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and Movement Network tokens. Moreover, WLFI recently formed a partnership with Sui (SUI), a blockchain developed by former Meta programmers, to explore opportunities in decentralized finance.
This new partnership has sparked speculation regarding WLFI’s intentions, with some analysts questioning whether it signifies an expansion into other blockchain ecosystems or if there are deeper motivations at play.
Established in 2024, WLFI has quickly positioned itself as a significant player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. With Trump and his closest associates holding over 60% ownership of the project, investor confidence remains strong, highlighted by a successful $300 million token sale in January 2025.
As Trump’s administration seeks to develop a strategic cryptocurrency reserve for the United States, critics are raising concerns that his involvement in the cryptocurrency market may lead to potential conflicts of interest.
WLFI has maintained its stance, asserting that the organization is managed independently, with oversight from his children, an outside ethics lawyer, and an independent investment firm, distancing Trump from direct control of its operations.
