WLFI stuck under $1 after AI Financial says it landed $380M Trump-linked token deal

Las Vegas, June 15, 2026, 01:16 (PT)

  • AI Financial values its WLFI holdings at about $380 million, using the $0.055 token price from June 9.
  • The company said it’s not planning to sell the roughly 3.32 billion WLFI tokens that are now available for collateral, staking, or lending.
  • The stock remains under $1, keeping Nasdaq’s listing pressure in focus.

AI Financial Corporation said in a June 10 filing that it’s able to use some of its World Liberty Financial token for liquidity. The company made the statement to address concerns from its recent quarterly report. AI Financial says it has 6.91 billion WLFI tokens—about $380 million at a $0.055 price from 7 p.m. EDT on June 9. Of that, 3.32 billion tokens, valued over $180 million at that price, can be used for collateral, staking, or lending.

The tokens are not in use as cash right now. AI Financial said 3.32 billion tokens will become fully transferable on August 12, 2026. There’s also 3.58 billion WLFI tokens stuck in a 12-month lock-up, with the same transfer date, if some conditions are met. The filing does not account for about 378.3 million WLFI tokens already pledged as collateral on a WLFI loan.

“Availability for use should not be interpreted as an intention by the Company to sell these holdings,” Chief Executive Tony Isaac said in the statement. Management said its available WLFI position has “substantially mitigated” the previous going-concern risk flagged earlier. The company said liquidity is enough to fund operations and meet obligations for at least the next 12 months.

AI Financial shares came under pressure Monday, trading around $0.665. The market cap stood near $84.3 million. The price stayed below Nasdaq’s $1 cutoff. Nasdaq says any company with a price under $1 for 30 business days in a row falls out of compliance and has to meet the requirement again.

ALT5 Sigma, now called AI Financial, raised $750 million in August 2025 and spent nearly all of it—$717 million—on World Liberty tokens, according to Reuters. The story says over $500 million ended up with the Trump family thanks to World Liberty’s revenue split. ALT5 shares, Reuters said, slid from over $9 last August to just 75 cents by April 2026. Dealroom, quoting CNBC, said the stock remains down 92% after the Trump crypto deal turned bad.

World Liberty Financial is turning up in more places than the WLFI token. The Guardian reported the UFC confirmed some fighters at a June 14 White House event would get bonuses in USD1, a stablecoin pegged to the dollar and issued by World Liberty Financial. The firm also put its name on that event. USD1 and WLFI aren’t the same, but both are pulling fresh focus to the Trump-linked crypto circles as AI Financial pushes investors to see its WLFI-heavy balance sheet as solid, not a liquidity worry.

  • Russia diesel export ban pushes prices up, squeezes global supply
    July 11, 2026, 6:55 AM EDT. Russia's diesel export ban this week is tightening the global diesel market, sending prices up fast even as the U.S. and Europe have stopped buying Russian barrels since the Ukraine war. Diesel is needed for industry, trucks, and power. U.S. ultra-low sulphur diesel futures jumped 11% to $154 a barrel. European gasoil is trading at record premiums to Brent. Russia is the world's number-two diesel exporter, so this move cuts into world supply, leaving buyers like Brazil and Turkey fighting harder for U.S. cargoes. The market is also feeling the pinch from Western refinery cuts, continued demand after the pandemic, and worries over Middle East flows with tensions near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. distillate stocks fell by more than 4.5 million barrels last week, signaling the tight market persists.
