AI Financial warns survival uncertain due to locked WLFI tokens

According to CoinDesk, Nasdaq-listed AI Financial (formerly Alt5 Sigma), a major holder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, has warned that its ability to continue operating is uncertain. In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company stated it has only $10.5 million in cash, while a significant portion of its assets—$706 million in WLFI tokens—are contractually locked and cannot be sold. AI Financial, which also has a related-party loan from World Liberty Financial, noted that this liquidity crunch raises doubts about its survival. The company warned it may not make it through the year. Last year, AI Financial raised approximately $1.5 billion to purchase $1.46 billion worth of WLFI tokens, which are associated with a DeFi project linked to the Trump family. The value of these tokens has since fallen by more than half, while the company's first-quarter fintech revenue was just $4.7 million.
