Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Sells $5M in Bitcoin as BTC Hits $69K

Published at 2026-02-05 16:17:58

World Liberty Financial, the crypto project backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, offloaded roughly $5.04 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) as Bitcoin retraced to its 2021 all-time high of $69,000, according to on-chain records. The sales were executed at an average price near $69,000, indicating a targeted reduction of BTC exposure rather than a fire sale. The transaction was recorded on Feb. 5, 2026 and appears to be a straightforward profit-taking move.

The sale matters because it ties a politically linked project to visible on-chain flow at a key price point, which can influence sentiment around both BTC and the WLFI token. While $5 million is small relative to Bitcoin’s overall market size and unlikely to derail the rally, WLFI holders may read the liquidation as a risk signal. Traders and observers will be watching for follow-up moves from the project and any market reaction in BTC and WLFI trading pairs.
