A Trump-linked cryptocurrency venture is facing growing scrutiny after investors suffered major losses while the Trump family reportedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the transaction.

According to a CNBC report, Alt5 Sigma, now renamed AI Financial Corp., partnered with World Liberty Financial, a crypto company co-founded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

🤝
Under the August 2025 deal, AI Financial acquired roughly $1.5 billion worth of World Liberty tokens. Disclosures cited in the report indicate that President Donald Trump and certain family members were entitled to about $500 million from token-sale proceeds.

Since the deal was announced, AI Financial's stock has fallen more than 90%, dropping from nearly $9 per share to below $1.

The company has warned investors that its financial condition raises doubts about its ability to continue operating and faces a potential Nasdaq delisting.

The report said AI Financial has experienced leadership turnover, auditor changes, and mounting financial challenges. Critics have called for regulatory scrutiny, though there is no evidence presented that the Trump family or others improperly benefited from the transaction.

⚠️
Representatives for the Trump Organization said Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have had no operational role in AI Financial. The White House also stated that President Trump's assets are held in a trust managed by his children and denied any conflict of interest.

Meanwhile, the value of World Liberty's WLFI tokens has declined sharply, adding pressure on AI Financial as it attempts to stabilize its business and reassure shareholders.
