ALT5 Sigma’s $1.5B Week: From Announcement to Activation

The Financing That Set the Direction
This past week was a defining moment for ALT5Sigma (NASDAQ: ALTS).
In just a few days, the company closed a $1.5 billion registered direct offering and concurrent private placement to launch its World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Treasury Strategy, welcomed new leadership, marked the occasion at the Nasdaq Opening Bell, and reported Q2-2025 revenue of $6.38 million, underscoring strong year-over-year growth.
Capital With a Purpose
The financing establishes ALT5 as a significant holder of WLFI, securing ~7.5% of the token’s total supply. WLFI is the native token of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem. It underpins governance, treasury reserves, and strategic value.
Within that same ecosystem, USD1 serves as the USD-pegged stablecoin designed for everyday transactions. While ALT5's treasury position is in WLFI, the token's economics are tied to USD1's role as a transactional currency, linking our position to the stablecoin's broader adoption and use.
Our focus is on bringing WLFI into the same payment and trading infrastructure that already serves clients across North America, Europe, and Asia. The aim is to make WLFI usable in everyday commerce and institutional finance alike, whether that means a retailer accepting WLFI at checkout with instant conversion into local currency, a cross-border B2B payment settling in minutes instead of days, or a tokenized commodity being bought and sold with WLFI as the settlement medium.
Leadership for the Next Chapter
Alongside the capital raise, ALT5 welcomed Jonathan Hugh as Chief Financial Officer. With more than 25 years in digital assets, commodities, and finance, he brings the operational and regulatory experience needed for large-scale treasury deployments.
Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO of WLFI, was appointed Chairman of ALT5’s Board, while fellow WLFI Co-Founder Eric Trump joined as a Board member, broadening ALT5’s access to new networks and markets.
What Comes Next
The priority now is delivery: merchant integrations, expanded cross-border payment corridors, and pilot programs for tokenized asset settlement. These aren’t distant ideas; they are initiatives built on infrastructure that’s already in operation.
This week gave ALT5 the capital, leadership, and momentum to accelerate that work. The next updates will be about transactions happening in the real world, not just plans on paper.
