World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi project publicly associated with Donald Trump and his family, has been actively shifting and diversifying its on‑chain treasury, including sizeable purchases of TRON’s TRX token and wrapped bitcoin (WBTC). On‑chain portfolio tracking cited in recent coverage shows WLFI spending millions of dollars across several assets in the last few days, with TRX becoming the project’s third‑largest holding after major positions in ETH, WBTC, and USDC. One analysis notes WLFI wallets holding just over 30 million TRX (roughly $7.5 million at the time of reporting), surpassing its USDT balance and fitting into a broader strategy of accumulating assets that can be used as collateral in a planned Aave vault. These TRX purchases are notable because they come shortly after Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, accumulated tens of millions of dollars’ worth of WLFI tokens, positioning himself as a major investor in the Trump‑aligned project. Earlier reporting indicated Sun put tens of millions of dollars into WLFI (figures vary by source between about $30 million and $75 million), betting on the project’s token economics and political branding. The new WLFI exposure to TRX and WBTC therefore represents both a financial diversification move and a deepening of the reciprocal on‑chain ties between Sun and the WLFI ecosystem. In parallel, this relationship has become contentious: Sun has accused WLFI of embedding an undisclosed blacklist function in the WLFI smart contract and later filed suit in U.S. court over allegedly frozen tokens, while WLFI has responded with counter‑claims, underscoring that these treasury shifts are unfolding against an increasingly adversarial legal backdrop.
