Trump’s Real Estate Moves On-Chain as Hut8 Adds WLFI Tokens to Boost Treasury

Trump’s real estate portfolio is set to go on-chain amid World Liberty Financial’s announcement of tokenization plans. This comes as Nasdaq-listed Hut8 added WLFI tokens to its treasury reserve.

Trump’s Real Estate Portfolio Set for Tokenization

World Liberty Financial shared plans to tokenize parts of Donald Trump’s $1.2 billion real estate portfolio. Plans include turning famous properties like Trump Tower into digital investment options for everyday investors.

This project aims to divide assets into shares based on blockchain technology, potentially unlocking hundreds of millions in cash while still keeping majority control for the US President.

Research shows that turning real-world assets into digital tokens could provide access to the large $400 trillion traditional finance market. Areas like commodities, stocks, and alternative investment funds offer many opportunities for growth.

Experts suggest that tokenizing even 10–20% of the President’s holdings could raise between $120 million to $240 million. 

Co-founder Zak Folkman also said WLFI will tokenize commodities such as oil, gas, cotton, and timber, thereby expanding its reach far beyond real estate. The assets will be paired with the project’s USD1 stablecoin to enable smooth on-chain representation and trading of tangible value.

Beyond real estate, the firm is preparing to enter consumer markets. The Trump company plans to launch a debit card and retail payments app integrated with Apple Pay. This will link its USD1 stablecoin directly to everyday transactions. The debit card will provide users with a straightforward way to spend their crypto.

Simultaneously, the company signed a memorandum of understanding to investigate joint business development with the South Korean exchange Bithumb. This action increases the company’s presence in Asia, which is one of the regions with the fastest rate of blockchain adoption.

Hut8 Secures WLFI Tokens for Treasury Reserves

Hut8, a leading Bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure operator, recently purchased WLFI tokens at $0.25 each to strengthen its treasury reserves. Unlike traditional token sales, the transaction involved locked tokens already held by the company. This means no new issuance or dilution of supply occurred.

WLFI recently sold tokens at $0.25 to Hut8 for their treasury. The locked tokens sent from the WLFI treasury were simply to satisfy that sale — not new issuance, not dilution. We appreciate Hut8’s support as a long-term partner. 🦅

The sold tokens sent from World Liberty Financial’s treasury was pioneered by ALT5 Sigma. The firm closed a $1.5 billion registered direct offering to fund the firm’s ambitious treasury initiative. The program built one of the most robust digital asset reserves in the market. 

The deal also reflects a trend among mining firms to diversify their holdings with DeFi projects. Hut8’s move follows its recent expansion into data centers for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. 

In an effort to further boost the token’s value, Trump’s World Liberty Financial revealed that its community has unanimously approved a 100% WLFI buyback and burn program. The platform will allocate all treasury liquidity fees toward repurchasing and permanently burning the tokens, reducing its circulating supply.
