AI Financial Seeks $15 Million Sale as Trump-Linked WLFI Token Sinks 70%

Summary
$15 million is the reported price AI Financial is discussing for its core business, a sharp retreat a year after World Liberty Financial took control of the payments company.
A 70% slide in WLFI left AI Financial holding a largely unsellable token position after it raised $750 million from outside investors to buy more of the Trump-linked cryptocurrency.
Shares have fallen more than 90%, cutting AI Financial's market value to about $80 million and turning the deal into a loss for most investors.
The Trumps were insulated from that collapse because the family is entitled to 75% of WLFI token-sale proceeds; the Journal said AI Financial's purchases delivered about $540 million in cash.
The unraveling adds to scrutiny of Trump's crypto interests after he disclosed more than $1.4 billion in 2025 income from his ventures, fueling Democratic complaints about profiting while in office.
