ALT5 Sigma Raises $1.5 Billion to Build WLFI-focused Crypto Treasury
In a significant development in the cryptocurrency space, ALT5 Sigma has successfully secured a massive $1.5 billion capital raise through a registered direct offering and private placement. The funds will be used to build a treasury focused on World Liberty Financial’s token (WLFI), with Kraken managing assets.
The company announced that it had sold 100 million shares at $7.50 each, totaling $750 million, as part of the registered offering. Another 100 million shares were sold through private placement, resulting in an additional $750 million being raised. This capital injection is expected to significantly enhance ALT5 Sigma’s capabilities and accelerate its growth strategy.
The treasury will be focused on holding WLFI tokens, which are a crucial component of World Liberty Financial’s decentralized finance protocol and governance platform. As the largest shareholder of WLFI, this strategic move by ALT5 Sigma underscores the company’s commitment to the WLFI ecosystem. The collaboration with Kraken will ensure the secure management of these assets.
In addition to the treasury build-out, the funds raised will also be utilized for settling existing litigation, debt repayment, and funding general operations and working capital needs. This substantial investment is expected to propel ALT5 Sigma forward in its efforts to expand digital asset trading and payment operations.
The company’s leadership has undergone some changes following this significant transaction. Zach Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of World Liberty Financial, will now be serving as the board chairman for ALT5 Sigma. Eric Trump, another key industry figure, has joined the company’s board as a director, while Zak Folkman, WLFI’s co-founder and COO, has become an observer on the board.
As the digital asset space continues to rapidly evolve, ALT5 Sigma’s latest move highlights its ambition to solidify its position in the market.
