Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Introduces ‘Macro Strategy’ Token Reserve

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a President Donald Trump-backed decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has introduced a strategic token reserve known as the “Macro Strategy.”

As stated in the official announcement, the initiative is designed to establish a strong financial foundation for the DeFi platform.

On February 12, World Liberty Financial shared the news via a social media post on X.

“Our strategic token reserve designed to bolster leading projects like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies that are at the forefront of reshaping global finance,” the post read.

The Macro Strategy reserve will allow World Liberty Financial to broaden its portfolio by investing in a range of tokenized assets. This approach aims to mitigate market fluctuations and build a more stable ecosystem. Moreover, the reserve provides WLFI with the flexibility to invest in emerging projects and foster growth within the DeFi space.

World Liberty Financial has not yet revealed the full list of assets in the Macro Strategy reserve. Nonetheless, a detailed proposal offering more information is expected to be published soon on the company’s governance forum.

Meanwhile, the initial funding source also remains undisclosed. However, the platform has confirmed that it is working with financial institutions and storing assets in public wallets to ensure transparency.

“In alignment with our mission to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance, we are actively engaging with esteemed financial institutions to contribute tokenized assets to our reserve,” WLFI stated.

This new launch follows World Liberty Financial’s transfer of eight assets worth over $307 million to Coinbase Prime last week. Following the transfer, its assets dropped by 90%, sparking concerns about liquidity. 

According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, WLFI currently holds approximately $38 million in various tokens. This marked a significant decline from the $360 million it previously controlled before the transfer. However, WLFI clarified that this move was part of its “regular treasury management.”

Despite these outflows, WLFI has also been actively accumulating assets. According to the latest on-chain data from Spot On Chain, the platform has spent $5 million USD Coin (USDC) to acquire 1,917 Ethereum (ETH).

Moreover, it spent 470,000 USDC to purchase 830,469 Movement (MOVE) tokens. In just the past two days, WLFI has spent $940,000 USDC to acquire 1.634 million MOVE tokens. Nevertheless, its portfolio was down by 1.41% at press time.

Meanwhile, Trump’s involvement in the cryptocurrency space continues to expand. Just a few days ago, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) announced its plans to roll out exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs). The offerings also include a Bitcoin (BTC) ETF.
