World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project with ties to Donald Trump’s family, has introduced a strategic token reserve called Macro Strategy to bolster its financial stance and strengthen its engagement with traditional finance.
Strengthening Financial Stability and Market Presence
According to a February 11 statement, the Macro Strategy initiative aims to enhance WLFI’s financial position by supporting major digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The project describes the reserve as a financial buffer designed to provide stability, foster long-term growth, and build credibility within the crypto ecosystem.
WLFI stated that the reserve will help manage market fluctuations through portfolio diversification while funding promising DeFi innovations. Additionally, the platform reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, ensuring that asset management decisions remain visible to its community.
Bridging DeFi and Traditional Finance (TradFi)
Beyond crypto asset management, WLFI aims to collaborate with traditional financial institutions to further integrate decentralized and traditional finance (TradFi). These partnerships will focus on:
- Enhancing blockchain adoption
- Strengthening branding efforts
- Increasing public engagement
To encourage community participation, WLFI plans to publish a governance proposal outlining the Macro Strategy reserve’s operational framework. This will allow members to review, provide feedback, and contribute to decision-making processes.
WLFI emphasized:
“This initiative is more than just a strategic move; it is a testament to our unwavering dedication to innovation, collaboration, and the empowerment of our community. Together, we are building a legacy that bridges the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance, setting new standards for the industry.”

While WLFI has not disclosed the full asset breakdown of its Macro Strategy reserve, analysts speculate that it includes cryptocurrencies the project already holds. These assets reportedly include Tron, Wrapped Bitcoin, Staked Ethereum, USDT, MOVE, Chainlink, Aave, and ONDO.
According to Arkham Intelligence, WLFI currently holds around $40 million worth of digital assets. Additionally, SpotOnChain reports that WLFI has ramped up its investments in Ethereum and MOVE tokens.
