Trump-Backed DeFi Project Launches Macro Strategy Reserve

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project with ties to the Trump family, has launched a strategic token reserve called Macro Strategy. The initiative aims to strengthen WLFI's financial position while supporting leading digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

According to a Feb. 11 statement, the Macro Strategy reserve is designed to serve as a financial buffer, enhancing stability, fostering growth, and building credibility in the crypto ecosystem. WLFI plans to manage market fluctuations by diversifying its portfolio and funding promising DeFi innovations, while maintaining transparency in managing the reserve.

In addition to asset diversification, WLFI intends to collaborate with traditional financial institutions to bridge the gap between decentralized and traditional finance (TradFi). These partnerships will focus on increasing blockchain adoption, improving branding efforts, and enhancing public engagement.

WLFI will publish a proposal detailing the Macro Strategy reserve on its governance forum to involve the community in decision-making. This will allow members to review the plan, provide feedback, and share their perspectives.

While WLFI has yet to disclose the complete list of assets in the Macro Strategy reserve, market analysts suggest it may include cryptocurrencies the project already holds, such as Tron, USDT, MOVE, Chainlink, Aave, and ONDO. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, WLFI currently holds around $40 million worth of these digital assets.

Recently, WLFI has increased its investments in Ethereum and MOVE. Over the past 24 hours, the project spent $5 million USDC to acquire 1,917 ETH and an additional $470,000 USDC to buy 830,469 MOVE tokens. This follows an earlier purchase of 1.634 million MOVE tokens for $940,000 USDC at an average price of $0.575.

Currently, WLFI holds 4.03 million MOVE tokens, valued at approximately $2.17 million. These assets are secured on-chain and through Coinbase, though they currently reflect an unrealized loss of about $640,000.
