ALT5 Sigma raises $1.5B to build a WLFI-focused crypto treasury, with Kraken managing assets and plans to expand trading and payments.

ALT5 Sigma Corporation completed a $1.5 billion capital raise through a registered direct offering and private placement led by World Liberty Financial. The Nasdaq-listed fintech will use the funds to create a treasury focused on World Liberty Financial’s token (WLFI).

The company sold 100 million shares at $7.50 each through the registered offering and another 100 million shares at the same price through private placement. World Liberty Financial contributed WLFI tokens as consideration for the private placement portion. ALT5 plans to hold approximately 7.5% of the total WLFI token supply.

Kraken will manage the assets under this arrangement, while A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners serves as the sole placement agent. ALT5 filed the final prospectus supplement on August 11, 2025.

Several leadership changes accompanied the transaction. Zach Witkoff, World Liberty Financial’s co-founder and CEO, became ALT5’s board chairman. Eric Trump joined as a board director, while Zak Folkman, WLFI’s co-founder and COO, became a board observer. Matt Morgan was appointed as ALT5’s chief investment officer.

ALT5 outlined multiple uses for the proceeds. The company will acquire WLFI tokens, establish treasury operations, settle existing litigation, pay debt, and fund general operations and working capital.

The company stated this funding supports its plan to expand digital asset trading and payment operations while establishing cryptocurrency treasury activities.

ALT5 operates as a fintech company providing blockchain technologies for tokenization, trading, clearing, settlement, payments and digital asset custody. Through its ALT5 Pay and ALT5 Prime platforms, the company has processed over $5 billion in cryptocurrency transactions since inception.

World Liberty Financial operates as a decentralized finance protocol and governance platform. The company describes its mission as broadening DeFi access and states it draws inspiration from President Donald J. Trump’s vision. The WLFI token serves as the central component of World Liberty Financial’s platform.
