Trump-linked firm quietly cuts stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%: Forbes

DT Marks DEFI LLC, a company linked to U.S. President Donald Trump, has quietly reduced its stake in his family-backed crypto venture World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%, according to a Forbes analysis of updates on the company’s website. Sometime after June 8, language on World Liberty's site was revised to reflect the lower ownership percentage. The entity was originally established by Trump in 2016 under the name DT Tower II LLC and was later renamed DT Marks DEFI LLC. While Trump initially held 100% ownership, his family members acquired a 30% stake during the restructuring, reducing his share to 70%. The latest change in World Liberty Financial’s ownership was made without public announcement, signaling that Trump—or someone acting on his behalf—may still be involved in private business dealings while serving in office.
