ALT5 Sigma Stock Surges 9.66% on $1.5B WLFI Treasury Strategy Funding

ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTS) announced definitive agreements to raise $1.5 billion through a registered direct offering and a concurrent private placement, triggering a 9.66% surge in its stock on August 11, closing at $8.97 [1]. The firm plans to use the proceeds to fund the launch of its World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Treasury Strategy and other corporate initiatives [1].

Under the registered direct offering, ALT5 will issue up to 100 million shares at $7.50 per share. A parallel private placement will also issue 100 million shares, with consideration paid in $WLFI tokens provided by World Liberty Financial Inc. [1]. World Liberty Financial serves as the lead investor in the private placement, alongside institutional investors and crypto-focused venture capital firms [1].

The closings for both offerings are expected on or about August 12, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is serving as the sole placement agent [1]. The securities in the registered direct offering are being issued under a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1 [1].

ALT5 plans to allocate the proceeds for several key purposes, including the acquisition of $WLFI tokens to seed its cryptocurrency treasury operations, settlement of existing litigation and repayment of outstanding debt, funding of business operations and working capital, and general corporate purposes including expansion tied to the WLFI project [1].

World Liberty Financial, a subsidiary of ALT5, has already launched a stablecoin (USD1) and the WLFI token, which together have reportedly generated $550 million in sales since their introduction last year [1]. This initiative aligns with a growing trend of public companies adopting digital asset treasury strategies that involve holding significant cryptocurrency reserves on their balance sheets [1].

The stock’s rally reflects heightened investor interest in ALT5’s strategic pivot into blockchain-based treasury operations. ALTS shares reached an intraday high of $9.04 and a low of $8.05, with a market cap of $156.57 million [1]. The offering combines traditional capital markets with innovative blockchain-based financing, signaling a broader acceptance of digital assets in corporate finance [1].

This move underscores ALT5’s commitment to leveraging digital assets to enhance corporate value and expand into new financial markets. By securing institutional backing and aligning with major crypto initiatives, the company is positioning itself to capitalize on the evolving digital asset landscape [1].
