Trump’s WLF buys $47 million Bitcoin immediately after his swear-in
The Trump family’s financial project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), transferred $47m of treasury funds into Bitcoin (BTC), as reported by on-chain data. The transaction happened after Donald Trump took the oath and became the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025.
The investment was done using Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), an ERC-20 token backed 1:1 with Bitcoin. According to Etherscan data, Cow Protocol, an intent-based trading platform, transferred $4.7m into more than 44 WBTC. The purchases were said to have been done in tranches, which gave a pointer to their deliberate approach.
