In recent SEC filing“These conditions cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year after the date these financial statements are issued,” AI Financial said, noting that it may not survive another year.
AI Financial is a public company that serves as the primary holder of World Liberty Financial’s WLFI tokens. In its quarterly report for the period ended March 28, the company reported a net loss of $271.3 million from continuing operations during the quarter, mainly due to a $348.3 million unrealized loss on large WLFI tokens. The company reported just $4.7 million in revenue for the quarter (all from its fintech segment) and ended the period with a $10.5 million cash and $5.5 million working capital deficit, while burning through $12.3 million in operating cash flow.
However, management also outlined several potential ways to stabilize the business in its latest filing. The company had already received a $15 million loan from World Liberty Financial in late January, giving it a short-term breathing space. More importantly, it controls approximately 7.28 billion WLFI tokens, valued at approximately $706 million on balance at the end of the quarter. These tokens were purchased in August 2025 and remain subject to contractual lock-up provisions until approximately August 2026. Once unlocked, the company hopes to monetize a portion of the position to meet operational needs, along with fintech revenue growth and plans for possible additional debt or capital raising.

The relationship between AI Financial and World Liberty Financial runs deep. Zachary Witkoff serves as Chairman of AI Financial and also as CEO and Co-Founder of World Liberty Financial. Board member Zachary Folkman is another co-founder of World Liberty Financial. World Liberty Financial itself has a significant stake in AI Financial, including 1 million common shares plus warrants and pre-funded warrants, together representing approximately 46% ownership on a fully diluted basis. It should be noted that World Liberty Financial is a project of the Trump family. Donald Trump has been cited as the co-founder and chief advocate of cryptocurrency. His sons Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Barron Trump are co-founders and actively involved in the venture.
In practice, AI Financial acts as a treasury company for the WLFI token. What does the strategy reflect? Michael Saylor continued on Strategy with bitcoinwhere a public company collects and holds an asset as a fixed asset. In AI Financial’s case, the backup asset is the newer WLFI token. Critics sometimes label the Strategy approach as similar to a Ponzi scheme because it depends on continuous capital growth and asset prices to sustain operations. Applying a similar model to WLFI introduces additional layers of risk given the token’s shorter history, higher volatility, and dependence on the success of a single Trump-related crypto project.
Although there are crypto-related projects reported The Trump family’s wealth increased by $1.4 billion in 2025 alone, to name a few Trump-related projects have been in trouble this year. most recently, World Liberty Financial filed a defamation lawsuit v. Justin Sun, a crypto billionaire in Florida after Sun accused the project of improperly freezing his tokens and pressuring him for additional investments. Sun previously bought billions of WLFI tokens and served in an advisory role.
