Trump’s Crypto Firm Raised $52 Million—Likely Sending Millions To His Family, New Disclosure Reveals
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – World Liberty Financial raised $52 million in token sales, with about 75% of proceeds benefiting the Trump family amid concerns over insider advantages and opaque investors.
- World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture linked to the Trump family, raised $52.1 million through private token sales disclosed in a July 2025 SEC filing.
- This fundraising follows an earlier $2.7 million token sale in October 2024 and a $100 million purchase by UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation last month, whose ownership remains obscure.
- Aqua 1, founded by Dave Lee and now the largest known investor, lacks registration with UAE financial authorities, raising transparency and foreign influence concerns around the crypto venture.
- Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the White House, conveyed that President Trump is advancing a pro-cryptocurrency agenda while separating himself from his family’s financial benefits; however, approximately 40% control of the assets and $50.7 million in recent earnings remain with Trump’s family.
- The disclosures intensified debates over ethics and national security risks related to the Trump family’s crypto dealings amid critics urging greater transparency to prevent foreign influence on the White House.
