Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Faces $110 Million Crypto Loss Amid Market Downturn
With the market experiencing a sharp downturn, Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLF) is grappling with substantial financial loss.
The Trump family’s decentralized finance (DeFi) project made headlines recently with a $20 million cryptocurrency acquisition, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum, just hours before the White House’s first-ever Crypto Summit.
However, according to data from Arkham Intelligence, WLFI’s investment of $336 million across nine cryptocurrencies is now worth approximately $226 million.
Trump-backed World Liberty Fi is down $110M, per @Arkham.

WLF’s Portfolio’s Plunged From $336 Million To $226 Million – Is Ethereum To Blame For The Loss?
WLF’s crypto investments are heavily concentrated in major digital assets, with Ethereum (ETH) accounting for 65% of its holdings. The firm’s average purchase price for ETH was $3,240 per token, but as of March 10, 2025, ETH is trading at approximately $2,040—a significant drop that has contributed to the bulk of WLFI’s losses.
Other assets in the portfolio include Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), Tron (TRX), Movement Network (MOVE), AAVE, Chainlink (LINK), and Ethena (ENA). Despite diversification efforts, the portfolio remains deeply affected by the ongoing market slump.
Over the past week, the firm tripled its ETH holdings during a brief market dip below $2,000, acquiring additional tokens at an average price of $2,238. Similarly, WLF invested millions in wBTC and MOVE tokens. However, these purchases have not offset the broader devaluation of its portfolio.
The firm has insisted that it is not selling its assets but reallocating them for operational purposes.

According to blockchain analytics firm Nansen, WLF purchased $10.1 million worth of Ether (ETH), $9.9 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and $1.68 million in MOVE tokens, associated with the Movement Network blockchain platform.
These transactions were executed shortly before the crypto summit through a wallet tied to WLF. The investment was made hours before Trump administration’s unveiling of its stance on cryptocurrency policy during the summit.
